Commented 4 days ago on Yogurt Panna Cotta at Sweetie Pie

Yogurt Panna Cotta

Panna Cotta is a creamy dessert from Italy. Although it translates as 'cooked cream' it contains no eggs and the cream really only needs to be warmed in preparation. This is traditionally a very rich dessert of lightly sweetened cream mixed with gelatin so that it can be unmolded into... Continue reading

I hope you like it. I copied your recipe for Kale Salad and it was SO delicious!

Commented Apr 28, 2013 on BFF Salad at Sweetie Pie

This salad is for my friend who is obsessed with each ingredient in it. It's so simple to make, so versatile, and so satisfying. You will need to mix up the salad, then make the dressing. If you are not interested in making your own vinaigrette, you could use something... Continue reading

Thanks Christina! I've been meaning to email you for a long time. I'll send some pics. It's almost strawberry season and we will miss picking with you.

Commented Apr 2, 2013 on Carrot Cake at Sweetie Pie

We made a carrot cake for Easter. This has no real significance aside from the fact that we hoped the Easter Bunny would visit our house, and bunnies like carrots. My number one helper was in charge of greasing and flouring the cake pans. He did a bangup job and... Continue reading

It's a sad day when all the Girl Scout cookies are gone for the year. My husband loves coconut and always finds a box (or two) of Samoas to bring home along with a few other varieties. There have been a lot of blog posts online in the last few... Continue reading

Lately I've been wondering if my chocolate addiction has gotten out of hand. I enjoyed some pre -Valentine baking and eating in addition to my regular dark chocolate consumption. Then came V-day and I slipped over the edge. My husband and son bought my favorite chocolates for the sweet holiday,... Continue reading

For Valentine's Day this year, I wanted to try making something a little extra special. I love chocolate, but my husband's true dessert love might be custard. Since he is my true love, this seemed like a good time to try making cream puffs. First I made the vanilla bean... Continue reading

Coconut and Lime Fish

We had such a delicious dinner last night that I just had to share. I tried a new recipe and was worried about how it would turn out. It was an absolute success! The sauce for the fish is a variation of beurre blanc made with lime juice and coconut... Continue reading

Lemon Ginger Heartwheels

You had me at lemon and ginger. The cute design sealed my intention to try this recipe. I made them heartwheels instead of pinwheels because Valentine's day is just around the corner. I was very pleased with the way these cookies look, and the dough was easy to work with.... Continue reading

Country French Bread

I've been working on making and baking bread lately. I want to be able to confidently and consistently bake a nice loaf of bread with a crunchy crust and chewy center. It should have a nice flavor and uneven holes inside. I took a class at a wonderful bakery a... Continue reading

Sometimes I bake a lot but don't blog much. My kitchen might be a mess, or I might be whipping up favorite recipes that have already been posted. This week I made cornmeal biscotti again, and I tried tinkering with a muffin recipe, but it wasn't super great. I intended... Continue reading

Lemon Lime Tart

lime meets lemon Whenever I need inspiration for recipes that I've never tried before I can rely on Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I pick up the heavy volume to take a quick look, and end up seated on the couch reading the section on fruit desserts like a... Continue reading

Cornmeal Biscotti

Good morning 2013! Let's greet the new year with a deep breath, coffee and biscotti. Yum. I'm trying to step away from all the sugar, cookies and chocolate I've been devouring since the beginning of December. Maybe the key is to take baby steps. While biscotti isn't healthy, it's also...

Gingerbread Cookies

What gets you into the holiday spirit? For me, it's cookies! The cookie cutters, the decorating, the warm and spicy smell of Christmas baking tells me it's time to eat sweets and enjoy the lights on the tree. We tried a different gingerbread recipe this year and were not disappointed.... Continue reading

Mom's Easy Coffee Cake

Tastes and smells can carry us back in time. A whiff of Nilla wafers and I'm a gradeschooler standing on my tiptoes reaching for the top of the china cabinet at my great grandfather's house. I'm feeling for the bag of cookies, smelling his kitchen and hearing the soft elevator... Continue reading

I was looking for a cookie recipe called mantecados that is traditional to southern Spain. This is a lovely crumbly holiday shortbread type treat. These little bites are not too sweet and have a rich, lingering flavor. I found this recipe right on my own kitchen bookshelf for something very... Continue reading

Basic Vinaigrette

We began our moving process today so naturally we had record breaking heat. My loquat tree died. A lone tomato on one of my three tomato plants cooked and turned to mush on the vine. It was truly a scorcher today. (This was written about a month ago, and we... Continue reading

Peach Pavlova with Coconut Cream

I don't know how I have lived all these years without knowing about this dessert. So simple, so delicious, so common in Australia. Maybe it's because I've never traveled down under. There are tons of recipes for this dessert online and it's popular in both New Zealand and Australia. There... Continue reading

Anyone who does much cooking on a regular basis will tell you that the most difficult part is the planning. What to cook? Will the family like it? Do I need to buy any special ingredients? How long will it take? All these factors must be taken into consideration if... Continue reading

German Chocolate Birthday Cake

A birthday rolls around but once a year and should be celebrated with a proper cake. My loving husband's favorite is the ooey, gooey German Chocolate. This recipe is named after Sam German, who began the Bakers Chocolate Company in 1852. Originally it was known as German's Chocolate Cake, but... Continue reading
