This recipe is all I hoped it would be; chocolaty, chewy goodness. This is the brownie version of a crinkle topped cookie. Made with eight ounces of bittersweet chocolate, this is not for the faint of heart. We are chocolate lovers and these are disappearing fast in my house as well as the milk. To…
Caramelized-Coffee Bean Pots de Creme
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are tackling one of three Pots de Creme we have left on the list. This dessert is definitely for the coffee lover. The special part of this recipe is caramelizing the coffee beans in sugar while not setting off the fire alarm. Whole milk and cream are steeped…
Chocolate-Pecan Pie Cookie Bars
Every year I host a friendsgiving and it is always bigger than my Thanksgiving. I bake our November selections every year and Dorie’s desserts are always a crowd pleaser. This year I picked these chocolate-pecan pie cookie bars to share. The base of the cookie is Dorie’s sweet tart dough partially baked. The topping is…
Roasted Butternut Squash with Savory Granola
I love butternut squash; caramelized from roasting in the oven, pureed in a soup or diced in a salad. I love butternut squash but sadly my family does not share my opinion. I make dishes with butternut squash when I have guests that I know will like it or take to work for a potluck….
Croquets
Dorie says “These might win the prize for being the crunchiest cookies in the French canon.” I agree with Dorie that these are a nutty, crunchy and sweet cookie. A mere few ingredients blended to make these crunchy cookies that look like biscotti but are not. Egg whites, sugar and a little salt are blended…
Apple Cranberry Phyllo Turnovers
I was looking for recipes to use up some phyllo dough that I had leftover from another recipe and I came across this Ellie Krieger recipe from her Food Network show Healthy Appetite. I watched the video and this looked like a fast and easy dessert to make. The apples are cooked with dried cranberries,…
Smoky, Cheesy Cookies
Back to the cocktail section this week on Tuesdays with Dorie. These smoky, cheesy cookies were a hit in my house. Thumbs up all around. We enjoyed this cheese cookie better than Parmesan Galettes which we made last month. All agreed the Parmesan Galettes were too rich. These cookies are a mix of smoked Gouda…
Lasagna Rolls
From chef Giada De Laurentiis, a fan favorite recipe according to Food Network, these lasagna rolls. I needed a dish to bring to work for a potluck and these individually rolled lasagna sounded perfect. This recipe is just as much work as a traditional lasagna but I thought well worth the effort. The bottom layer…
Cornmeal and Fruit Loaf
On Tuesdays with Dorie it is Rewind week, a recipe make-up. I am all caught up but still wanted to bake. I dusted off my copy of Baking From My Home to Yours as there are many recipes I still have not made. I had an open carton of buttermilk which is one of the…
Cream Cheese and Toast Tartlets
Our latest baking adventure for Tuesdays with Dorie are these cream cheese and toast tartlets. I am a sucker for a tartlet so I was looking forward to these minified versions. The cream cheese filling is lighter than traditional cheesecake as it is not baked but whipped with heavy cream. So yes light in texture…
