This week’s selection for Tuesdays with Dorie is a bar aka cake that Dorie describes as “pleasantly dry, sponge texture.” This is Dorie’s version of a Roman dessert she liked. I had to make changes right from the start. I have a Costco size bag of almond flour so I substituted the walnuts for almonds….
Grilled Dry Rubbed Rib-Eye Steaks
We are omnivores so all protein is fair game but out of all the meat I would say we eat beef the least so this week’s recipe was a nice treat. I can’t remember the last time we had steak, restaurant or home. My husband splurged the big bucks for this one steak, $19 for…
Rousquilles
Instead of making little wheels (rousquilles means little wheels) I made hockey pucks. Since 1 3/4 inches seemed so small to me I didn’t feel like doing the center cut out. The first batch I made I cooked the full 18 minutes, this resulted in burnt cookies. So Mardi you are not alone with the…
Cowboy Caviar Salad or Side
I am still struggling to post in a timely manor. I do manage to cook and remember to take a picture, two out of three ain’t bad. This was a nice summer side dish that we served on Labor Day Weekend. To see what others thought head over to Cook the Book Fridays.
Torta Sbrisolona
These dry, crumbly Italian cookies are not pretty to look at but do taste good. The almond lover in my family especially liked them. Luckily I was a bit lazy when clumping my dough together and that worked to my advantage. I also ignored the directions of taking the biscuits out of the pan. I…
Oven-Charred Tomato-Stuffed Peppers
Beautiful summer side dish. I found these pretty orange peppers and picked out the “boxy” ones Dorie suggested. Since these peppers were on the large size I could not fit them into a pie plate so I used a 9×11 pan instead. This recipe was a fair amount of work for a side dish but…
Three-Way Sugar-Cone Pizzelles
I put my husband in charge of this one for two reasons: first he is the official waffle maker of the family (this is a fancy waffle maker) and two he is an engineer. His previous experience with the waffle maker proved valuable and his meticulous engineering brain molded those cones with precision. Win-win in…
Drop-Biscuit Peach Cobbler
Stone fruit is in full swing this time of year. I chose to be a purist and make mine peaches only, Dorie’s recipe includes optional blueberries. The drop biscuits were meant to have spaces between but mine fused into one giant biscuit. I thought this was a lovely fruit dessert. My husband did not like…
Baby Buckwheat Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie is another bar recipe that I think counts as cake and not as a cookie. I am familiar with buckwheat flour (we enjoy buckwheat pancakes) but I usually don’t bake with 100% buckwheat. Dorie describes these as “pleasantly dry and grainy texture” and she is right they have a…
Sour Cream-Everything Seed Knots
Part two of our sour cream puff dough challenge. Since I love everything bagels, I have had my eye on this recipe for some time. Dorie states “These cookies give the everything bagel a run for its money”, I am on the right track. I was more successful with rolling this dough the second time…
