This is our third and final panna cotta recipe for Baking Chez Moi and this happens to be my favorite. I really enjoy Nutella and this dessert hit the spot. There were few ingredients but each required a separate dish so this was a dish plenty recipe. Gelatin was bloomed in one dish. Milk and…
Garam Grahams
Once upon a time…before coronavirus, I could buy groceries that I needed. Now, grocery shopping seems to be the most challenging thing to do. I have been looking for our key ingredient, garam masala, since before the coronavirus outbreak but my husband reminded me that I could just make it at home. He was right,…
Ginger Fried Rice
Ginger fried rice, this week’s assignment for Every Day Dorie. I actually made this one on time but forgot to do the write up. We haven’t made Asian food in a long time so this was a welcome change. I used soy sauce instead of ponzu sauce and I skipped the gochujang and I wished…
Coco Rochers
Having just finished Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme, which required 4 egg yolks, I had 4 egg whites to make these cookies. These are really for the coconut lover. I had to go out and buy unsweetened coconut for this recipe, Dorie says “sweetened coconut won’t give you the right texture.” This is a simple…
Almond Crescents
My husband’s favorite nut is the almond. They show up in his granola, with a meal think trout amandine and in his desserts. I voted for these knowing that they would hit the spot. These are fairly easy to put together butter, sugar, salt are blended until smooth and then vanilla and almond extract are…
Balsamic Chicken with Baby Potatoes and Mushrooms
I love a good sheet pan recipe. Baking all things at once and in a single pan is a win, win for me. I tailored amounts to suit my family, no one is a mushroom lover but I put a few in for flavor. I couldn’t find chicken quarters at my market so I just…
Lavender-White Chocolate Pots de Creme
This week at Tuesdays with Dorie we are cooking from Baking Chez Moi. Our final lavender recipe from both books, some in the group are very happy. These pots de creme were a big hit in my house. This was a rich and delicious dessert that I served with a dollop of whip cream and…
Lavender-White Chocolate Sables
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are baking from Dorie’s Cookies. This is one of two recipes in which lavender will be used this month. Lavender is not an ingredient I was used to cooking with but Dorie has introduced it to me in a few recipes. This is the 4th sables recipe we…
Chickpea-Tahini Salad
This salad ticked a lot of boxes for me and my husband. We love chickpeas in salads or pureed in hummus. Dorie’s spin on this chickpea salad was a winner with us. This was a light dinner served with arugula and pita. There really hasn’t been a chocolate chip cookie that I haven’t liked and…
Carrement Chocolat, The Simple Loaf
We are a chocolate loving family and I knew this loaf cake would go over well. My son asked if there was any ‘funny’ stuff in it and I said nothing but chocolate. This cake is made very different from other cakes, a food processor is the main piece of equipment. Softened butter, eggs and…
