Mini Mango Hazelnut Cardamom Bread

9

May

Raise your hand if you love mangoes, but they’ve always intimidated you! Up until a few weeks ago, I would have raised my hand. Every time I’ve had mango in a restaurant, I’ve loved it to bits. But I always passed it over in the supermarket – a funny foreign ingredient that I’d never use [...]

Fritos Friday: Fritos Chocolate Crunchies

30

Mar

It’s my favorite day again: Fritos Friday! I swear, I will eventually move away from pushing Fritos into candy and dessert applications, but right now, I’m really having fun with it. Fritos Chocolate Crunchies are no exception. The idea comes directly from Kaleta Doolin’s book, Fritos Pie, but I have no idea if this recipe [...]

Mar

I’m not going to lie. I first envisioned these cupcakes for myself, for my birthday at the beginning of February. Ever since Amanda made her rose cake with vertical stripes around our birthdays last year, I’ve kind of been obsessed with the idea of pink and white striped cupcakes. Lots of people are now making [...]

While the dish is credited to Queen Elizabeth the 1st of England, most Americans are more likely to think of George Washington and his cherry tree when thinking of this bubbly, tart dessert. Little known is that the story of George Washington and his cherry tree is a [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I’m super stoked today to have Jamie from My Baking Addiction guest posting for y’all. To quote something Jamie says often, I love her more than cheesecake. She’s my sounding board, one of my best friends, and often referred to by my Brit as “the other woman” – simply because she’s the only person that [...]

Hey y’all – I’m still recovering from surgery (more on that later), so will have some guest posters fill in a few more times, in the mix with my own stuff that I did way ahead of time. Today’s guest post comes from Milisa or “Miss” over at Miss in the Kitchen. Miss and I [...]

Giveaway: Green Mountain Coffee Golden French Toast Coffee

Feb

Who loves French Toast – raise your hand! I don’t make it often, but French Toast is one of those breakfasts I vividly remember my dad making when I was a kid. My dad excels at breakfast-making more than any other meal, and I think it’s probably his favorite meal of the day too. When [...]

Shiner Bock Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

If you’re Texan, you know Shiner. Shiner, Texas, that is. Famous for one thing: Shiner Bock beer. Spoetzl Brewery, where Shiner Bock is brewed, has been in business since 1909, and is the oldest independent brewery in Texas. Shiner Bock is Spoetzl’s flagship beer. Brewed since 1913, this dark and dangerous brew was originally considered [...]
