I was not particularly looking forward to these but boy was I wrong. These were delicious cookies that were praised by all. Of course the almond lover thought they were grand. These are quite sophisticated with a nice snap which did not get soft over time. Definitely a make again recipe.
Dark Chocolate Pudding
This was a recipe I was looking forward to. I love chocolate and home made pudding is so good. This is a decadent dessert as it is made with whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, bittersweet chocolate and butter. This dessert did not disappoint, it was chocolaty and delicious. I may decrease the amount of cornstarch…
Meatballs and Spaghetti
I manage to cook on time but posting on my blog is still a problem for me. For Cook the Book Fridays we made Meatballs and Spaghetti or in my case Gemelli. We really loved this marinara sauce and meatballs that cooked on the stove for an hour and a half. Not a week night…
Lucky Charm Brownies
This month on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking brownies, very chocolaty brownies. These are a flourless brownie that is more fudge-like than cake-like. My husband’s favorite part were the amaretti cookies, as you can see he went plentiful on top, no scales were involved for amounts. These were very tasty but very rich. To…
Butter-Glazed Turnips
Turnip is one of those vegetables that I don’t have much experience with. I wasn’t expecting too much with this recipe but we were pleasantly surprised. I bought the purple bottom variety. The recipe was pretty easy and cooked up in about ten minutes. We really enjoyed this vegetable that tasted a bit like a…
Friendship Cookies
Friendship cookies AKA rugelach are a cream cheese and butter dough filled with dried fruit, jam, nuts and chocolate. We have baked rugelach cookies before; this is the same recipe as in Baking From My Home to Yours and Rugelach That Won Over France from Baking Chez Moi. I haven’t met a rugelach that I…
Mint Chocolate Sablés
Like Is This A Keeper, me and my son’s favorite flavors are mint chocolate chip especially ice cream. I was really looking forward to this flavor combination. Like all Sablé cookies, the dough is made, rolled and chilled either in freezer or refrigerator. Kim had mention that she baked them free form instead of muffin…
Brisket with Carrots
I had to make a few changes for this one. I don’t have a slow-cooker so I used the oven method instead. Since I was serving this for our Hanukkah dinner, I didn’t want two potatoes so I left out the sweet potatoes (though I should have left them in for the leftovers). Got to…
Raisin Bars
My husband’s two favorite food items are raisins and almonds. I think his head was going to explode with both ingredients in one cookie. I took the easy route and made the raisin filling and cookie dough the night before and then baked the next day. The chilled dough took a bit of time to…
Apple Custard Crisp
When I joined the group, only two desserts had been made so it was an easy catch-up for me. This was the remaining dessert I had not made. Now that it is fall and apples are in season I decided to make this warm and cozy dessert. This was not our favorite, we enjoy a…
