This cornmeal buttermilk cake can be made in a loaf pan or a skillet pan, I went with the latter. I obviously used the optional berries. This was an easy cake and only required two bowls unless you count the vessel used to melt the butter. The skillet version bakes up quick in only 30…

Zan’s Birthday Cookies
To enjoy this cookie you need to be a chocolate and coconut lover. This is a three layer cookie; brownie-like bottom, coconut cream center and a chocolate crumble topping. All the layers need to be prepped in advanced and chilled. I made all three layers in one day and then baked the following day. A…
Father’s Day Blueberry-Cherry Pie
Pies are beloved in my house. Every year I make a cherry pie for summer and a blueberry cranberry pie for winter. These are our favorites and I have tried and true recipes. Dorie’s Father’s Day Pie combines two of our favorite berries into one pie. I am used to using pectin as a thickener…
Mostly Rhubarb Tart
I knocked this out for our Sunday dinner. I was lucky and found rhubarb at Smart and Final but like Kim it was not in the greatest condition no matter it was being cooked anyway. We have made several rhubarb desserts over the years but so far our favorite remains Rhubarb Upside Down Brown Sugar…
Black Bean-Chipotle Dip
I had big plans for Memorial weekend including making this dish but COVID had other plans and I spent the weekend feeling lousy and the next three weeks thank you very much. Alas, me and my family are all well now and I can get back to cooking and baking. This bean dip is easy…
One Big Break-Apart Chipper
Our latest cookie recipe comes from Dorie’s latest book Baking with Dorie. This espresso, cinnamon and cardamom flavored cookie is rolled into one big cookie. I did not worry about shape or size when I rolled it out but when I went to fit it into my baking pan it did not fit. I trimmed…
Portuguese-Style Cod and Beans En Papillote
This is the fourth recipe I have made that is en papillote. It is an easy way to cook and I have always been happy with the results. This recipe is no different. My son asked if we made it or picked it up at a restaurant and my husband declared it restaurant worthy. I…
French Vanilla Sablés
When I looked up our latest baking adventure in Dorie’s Cookies I found that I had made them on 7/4/17. I must have made these on my own but I don’t remember doing it. I was also glad that this was an easy recipe in which I had all the ingredients. I was at home…
Asparagus-Lemon Quiche
My husband and I recently went out to our local French restaurant and had quiche. My husband enjoyed his but I was not impressed with mine, I knew I could make one better. We have made our share of quiches and tarts over the years and I looked forward to our latest recipe. I decided…
Macarons
The Tuesdays with Dorie group made macarons two years ago from Baking Chez Moi. This recipe was a complete success for me and I looked forward to making them again. True to my statement I wanted to make these again and try a different filling. In reading the recipe in Dorie’s Cookies I noticed Mardi…
