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…
Mochaccino Muffins
Coffee, coffee, coffee. Buzz, buzz, buzz. They don’t call me CafeMom for nothing, I love me a good cup of Joe. Combining my two favorite foods chocolate and coffee this recipe has cocoa powder, ground coffee, coffee extract and semisweet chocolate. The ingredients need to come to room temperature before baking so planning ahead is…
Eton Mess
One word review, delicious. One sentence review, better than expected. I took the advice of my fellow bakers to use rhubarb as it was well worth it. I did not think I would have any trouble finding it as it is usually available year round in California. But of course the week I went to…
French Riviera Lemon Tart
It is good to be in the Riviera! I have been baking tarts à la Dorie for decades now and I thought I had made them all but this lemon tart is very different from all the rest. Starting with the crust I have not made one with olive oil before. Dorie’s sweet tart dough…
Almond Crackle Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. These Almond Crackle Cookies are simple to put together as they have only three ingredients; almond, sugar and egg. After reading the reviews of my fellow bakers I decided to do the muffin pan route to prevent the spread from free form but…
