Mary’s Maine Bars was the perfect recipe for me to make this week on Tuesdays with Dorie. I had travelled for work so I was short on time and energy but I had all the ingredients to make this bar. My one wrinkle was I had only one half cup of molasses, I did not…
Steph’s Bakewell Tart
Wow was this good. I have never had a Bakewell Tart before and I am so happy that Steph shared her recipe with Dorie. I think this is a mash-up of a dessert; tart shell, jam and cake on top. A bonus of this dessert is that it is made with almond flour which I…
Portofignos
Portofignos are a fruit and nut version of Dorie’s World Peace Cookie. The recipe calls for walnuts but I substituted for pecans and I had to substitute the port red wine for Sirah as that is what I had. I actually didn’t taste any of the wine in the baked cookie but no matter these…
Stuffed Cabbage
I don’t think I have ever made stuffed cabbage but I am sure that I have eaten before. This is a good winter dinner recipe, I seem to crave more beef dishes during the winter months. I take issue with the ‘Everyday’ as this is a laborious recipe, I would put this in the special…
Grain and Seed Muffins
These Grain and Seed Muffins went with me to work, I shared them with a meeting after the New Year. I guess my co-workers were not into healthy or they were still full from the holidays as only half disappeared. My husband and I enjoyed the rest. These wheat bran muffins are a bit on…
Bruno’s New Year’s Waffles
Happy New Year! Here’s hoping to a better 2022. Bruno’s recipe has justified the purchase of the pizzzelle maker. These were delicious and a great recipe to start off the new year. I made the dough in advance as it needs to sit overnight. My husband the waffle expert was in charge of cooking them….
Cheese Puffers
From the Salty Side Up section of Baking with Dorie, we selected these Cheese Puffers. The picture in the book looks oh so yummy. Dorie describes these as a cross between a muffin and a popover. I don’t think we have ever had a popover before so this is a new one for us. I…
Everyday Christmas
I planned to make both my recipes from Everyday Dorie for Christmas dinner and a make-up too. The menu was; Spatchocked Chicken, Paper-Thin Roasted Potatoes and Maple-Syrup and Mustard Brussels Sprouts. It was a lot of cooking but it was oh so worth it. Luckily my husband likes to cook so he was a big…
Mokonuts’ Rye-Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Wow these were so good. Everyone loved them when I served them for dessert. I think these may be my husband’s favorite cookie, he ate two and wanted another. I think it is safe to say that I will be making these again. My husband seems to think that we have baked with rye flour…
Mulled Wine Jammers
Mulled Wine Jammers are perfect for any holiday cookie plater but this recipe requires planning ahead. I made all the components the night before baking; streusel topping, mulled wine and jam, French Vanilla Sable dough. This is a complex cookie with 3 layers of flavor. My jam-loving husband enjoyed these and I thought they were…
