Who doesn’t love a good biscuit and these were good. It has been a long time since I have had biscuits so this was a nice treat. I made mine about 2 1/2 inches and we each had 2 with our meal. I am traveling this week for business, I managed to knock these out…
Espresso Chocolate Sablés
Coffee. Chocolate. Cookie. Yes Please! All of my favorite ingredients in one cookie, what’s not to like? We have made plenty sables together as a group; both little and big. I don’t think I could pick a favorite but those with chocolate rise to the top. To see what others thought head over to Tuesdays…
Leckerli
I was fortunate enough that my mother-in-law brought over a bag of oranges before I needed to make these Leckerli. Making candied orange peels was a bit of a process but not hard to do, I made 2/3 of a recipe and still had some leftover. This is a plan-ahead cookie, it needs to sit…
Beef and Beer Stew
I can’t remember the last time I made a stew of any kind, this latest rendition from Everyday Dorie looked good. I put my husband in charge of finding the Belgian ale and he found this bottle of Gulden Draak which is a dark red triple ale. This recipe requires a fair amount of prep…
Glenorchy Flapjacks
Dorie describes these as “your favorite chewy oatmeal cookie or the energy bar of your dreams”. My mother-in-law saw the picture of these and thought they looked delicious so of course I made them for her when she came for dinner. I was lucky that I had all the ingredients for this one including the…
Carrot-and-Mustard Rillettes
This is a recipe I probably would not have made if it wasn’t for this group which is the benefit of cooking in a group. I served this as a starter for our Sunday family dinner and it was a big hit, surprisingly big hit. This was another team effort recipe, I put my husband…
Swirled, Spiced Sour Cream Bundt Cake
We have not had cake in a while so this was a nice treat and I can’t remember the last time I made a bundt cake. For the swirl, I omitted the nuts so my son could eat it, I used chopped chocolate the dark kind and my unsweetened cocoa was also dark chocolate. The…
Boozy Jumbled-Fruit Croustade
I purposely made this dessert late, I was saving it for an outdoor luncheon I was having with friends. I was happy when this recipe made the list as I have a cupboard full of dried fruit to use up. As I headed out to get the few ingredients I needed to finish this dish…
Swedish Dream Cookies
I bake on time but I cannot seem to post on time, sigh… This week’s baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie are these Swedish Dream Cookies, a shortbread cookie flavored with brown butter and cardamom. I grew up eating kringle, a Norwegian cookie flavored with cardamom. This recipe is very different from the usual cookie…
Pasta with Sardines, Fennel and Pine Nuts
My husband knocked this out on a Thursday night. He said this recipe was doable for a week night meal. We opted not to put the oil in from the sardine can but used olive oil instead. We enjoyed this one even though it was a bit fishy. Anytime raisins end up in a dish…
