I love a good tart, sweet or savory, and this was a great tart. Everyone loved this side dish including my son. Anything with a crust, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and potatoes is a winner in my book. My comments were great, make again and that is just what we are going to do. To…
Eggplant Tartines
Our latest adventure in Everyday Dorie, an eggplant tartine which is an open faced sandwich. The roasted eggplant is made into a kind of baba ganoush, this recipe is supposed to include fresh ginger which I did not have so I left it out. I did purchase the pomegranate molasses which was not a usual…
Honey-Apple Scones with Spelt
As I have mentioned before, scones are beloved in my house and get made often. This current recipe from Baking with Dorie included some of my husband’s favorite flavors honey, apple and orange. It also included spelt flour a kind of wheat flour that we used in another recipe recently. This is not a traditional…
Holiday Fish Soup
I am posting late as I wanted to make this soup for my mother-in-law’s birthday which was after the first of the year. I had the benefit of reading the reviews of those that had already made this holiday soup. I decided to follow suit and just buy what we normally eat which ended up…
Chocolate Babka
I had the good fortune to make chocolate babka before, I made the version from Jerusalem A Cookbook by Ottolenghi and Tamimi. Yeasted bread is a make ahead affair and doubly so with a filling and topping. The end result was well worth the wait. I took Kim’s advice and made two loaves and froze…
Coffee-Anise Stars
Nothing says holiday baking more than a cut-out cookie. I rummaged through my stash of cookie cutters and found not only a star but a moon too. These are a plan-ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill at least one hour in the freezer or 3 hours in the refrigerator. I made my dough…
Candied Cocktail Nuts
Candied nuts seems like the quintessential holiday treat. Since I can’t remember the last time I had a candied nut, I was looking forward to these. I took the practical approach and used what nuts I had on hand so my mixed nuts included almonds, macadamia and peanuts. I was worried the cayenne pepper would…
Granola-Topped Squash and Root Vegetable Gratin
Happy Thanksgiving! I made this gratin as part of our recent Friendsgiving. It was well received and disappeared. I did not care for the granola and neither did my son who passed on this dish but my husband welcomed the texture it added to the dish. I also did not like the two step process…
Cranberry Spice Squares
Happy Thanksgiving! I managed to bake on time and take a picture but posting timely still proves to be an issue for me 🙂 I served these for our annual Friendsgiving and they were a big hit especially the cream cheese frosting. The holiday spices made for a perfect dessert. Definitely a make again recipe….
New England Clam Chowder
It has been a while since I have made soup and I don’t think I have made clam chowder before. The hardest part was sourcing all the ingredients including the oyster crackers. My family wanted the traditional recipe as oppose to Dorie’s version. This came together pretty easy the only work was chopping the vegetables….
