Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Alsace is France’s easternmost region. This cheesecake, sans cheese, is made with Greek yogurt, heavy cream, eggs and baked in a Galette crust. My guests deemed it custard-like. Baked in a springform pan, my crust shrank during baking and I feared I ruined my dessert. But fear-not the filling…
Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies These nuggets are packed with lemon flavor: lemon juice, lemon rind and lemon extract. When I took them out of the oven my son declared that it smelled like lemon. I served these Bee’s Sneeze Nuggets with the suggested honey accompaniment and with Limoncello Gin Cocktails. These were a big…
Winter Squash Soup (soupe au potiron)
I have been Barefoot In Paris with Ina for the majority of my cooking so this challenge was easy for me. I chose a warm winter soup for a rare cool day in California. My husband is also traveling so I picked a recipe he would not like, namely anything with butternut squash. The winter…
Zucchini and Goat Cheese Tart
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs This tart caught my eye when I was watching Ina’s show Barefoot Contessa. I was looking for an occasion to make it but I ended up making half a recipe for myself for two lunches. My version looks a bit more rustic than Ina’s polished one but still…
Chocolate Creme Caramel
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi Chocolate Creme Caramel started our Valentine’s week off right. Made with few ingredients to dramatic effect. I had eight inch round ramekins so I ended up with flat creme caramels. I used milk chocolate because that is what I had available. I made one mistake, I forgot to press…
Provencal Vegetable Soup (Soupe Au Pistou)
This week at I Heart Cooking Clubs we are making one pot meals. I have been looking forward to making soup and I found a good one. Ina’s recipes are big so I halved the recipe and got four servings. This soup is filled with vegetable goodness; onions, leeks, potatoes, carrots and green beans. They…
Sebastian’s Remarkably Wonderful Brownies
Tuesdays with Dorie Dorie’s Cookies I knew these brownies would be a hit in my house because there were no “funny” ingredients added. My family are purest and do not like any nuts or add-ins in their brownies. And of course there is only one way to eat a brownie… Sebastian’s Remarkably Wonderful Brownies page…
Lemon Meringue Tart
How Good Does That Look! This being our theme of the week at I Heart Cooking Clubs. I decided to make this Lemon Meringue Tart from Barefoot In Paris. I had motivation besides the look of this tart. The last time I made a lemon tart the filling did not set up, I wanted to…
Orange Almond Tart
Tuesdays with Dorie Around My French Table This tart seemed well received by my fellow bakers and bloggers from the now completed French Fridays with Dorie. I joined the group year 3 of 4 so I missed most of the dessert recipes. With an extra Tuesday this month I embarked on completing one of my unfinished recipes. …
Crunchy Granola
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi My second turn at making granola this month and this time I was more successful. Dorie’s detailed and easy to follow recipe made for a great batch of granola. The key for me was adding the sweetened coconut at the end of baking, I added it at the last…
