After a two week vacation apparently I have forgotten how to blog. My husband had cut up the whole chicken before we remembered to take a picture. Actually I had made three of the four recipes for this month in one meal which I think was one too many for my brain. On to the…
Chocolate-Covered Chai-Tea Bars
While making these bars, I was reminded of my favorite restaurant in San Jose, CA. I used to have to fly to San Jose once a month for work and I would always go to Jubba Restaurant East Africa Cuisine, they had the best spiced tea and fish wraps. If you are ever in the…
Tilapia Meunière with Onion-Pecan Relish
My husband is quite particular about the fish he likes so I let him take the lead on this one and he chose Tilapia. Traditional fish for this recipe is Flounder or Sole. I made the relish and my husband cooked the fish. We rounded out our meal with carrots and rice. Everyone liked this…
Devil’s Thumbprints
If these don’t get you into the holiday spirit then I don’t know what will 🙂 Our latest baking assignment comes from Baking with Dorie. This is a plan ahead cookie as the dough needs to chill for 2 hours. I decided to make a half a recipe which I am glad I did as…
Szarlotka
Szarlotka is a Polish dessert which Dorie describes as part cake, crumble and a torte. The picture reminded me of the Apple Kuchen we made from Baking Chez Moi. The ‘crust’ is really cake which I called dessert imposter as I kept thinking it should be crunchy like a crust. The filling has three pounds…
Brown Sugar-Spice Cake
Greetings from Redding California. I am here on vacation with a friend who recently moved and I decided to take my Tuesday with Dorie baking assignment with me. What better way to welcome someone to their new home than baking a cake. I was unable to find Italian Plums and I am not a fan…
Banana Breakfast Squares
Our latest baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie comes from Baking with Dorie. This 9×13 inch cake serves 16 and I froze half as Dorie states it keeps well. My cake could not have come out more perfect; deep golden brown and surprisingly light and airy. The cake is comprised of a combination of all-purpose…
Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No Bake Pie
August is a busy month for us, we have many family birthdays including our son who just turned 20! My how time flies. This Strawberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie from Baking with Dorie was the perfect summer dessert and also worked well for a birthday celebration. I made my graham cracker crust but you could buy…
Tomato and Berry Gazpacho
I had purchased all the ingredients but I was having trouble fitting this one in my schedule. I came home for work and my husband had thankfully made it. I purchased a mix of cherry tomatoes which included some gold ones so that is why my gazpacho was an orange color. My husband chopped up…
Double-Corn Tomato Crisp
Our latest recipe with Baking with Dorie is this double corn and tomato crisp. This was a surprise hit with the family especially with so few ingredients. The filling comprises of ripe tomatoes, corn, onion, olive oil, sherry or balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, cayenne and basil. The topping which is the star of the…
