Thanksgiving is by far my most favorite holiday mostly because I get to cook it. I like it so much that I usually try and host a Thanksgiving-like meal one other time during the year. For a while I was hosting a “Thanksgiving in July” but this past summer was so hot that I could…

Chocolate Covered Toffee Break Ups
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Chocolate Covered Toffee Break Ups from Baking Chez Moi. The last thing I needed was more candy in my house, we still have Halloween buckets filled with candy, but I wanted to participate in the group. Candy making is not my forte so I was a…
Apple Pielettes
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Apple Pielettes, little apple pies, from Baking Chez Moi. We are pie lovers and we were intrigued by these little desserts. Notes:I made a half recipe and had enough dough and filling to make 9 pies, a bonus. I used a combination of Fuji and Gala apples…
Tiger Cakes
“The worst chocolate I ever had was fantastic”. A quote that Ree Drummond’s father-in-law said on one of her shows. A sentiment that I wholeheartedly agree with. This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we made Tiger Cakes from Baking Chez Moi. As with many of Dorie’s recipes I learned a few new techniques. This recipe…
Apple Kuchen
I keep telling myself that Fall is coming. We have been having record heat and humidity in California and quite frankly I am tired of it. If I can’t get the weather to cooperate I at least can change my baking to Fall flavors. This week’s baking assignment from Baking Chez Moi is Apple Kuchen….
Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie our baking assignment was Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies on pages 275-276. After reviewing the directions, these cookies were reminiscent of the hamentashen I make every year. Given the amount of work that goes into these cookies I was disappointed that the recipe only made 12 but lucky me using…
Bubble Éclairs
Tuesdays with Dorie, Bubble Éclairs and Book Club. This week our baking assignment landed on the day I have book club and I thought it would be nice to share Éclairs. I have never made Éclairs before so I was crossing my fingers that they would come out well. I channeled Mardi Michel’s confidence…
Cherry Crumb Tart
Cherries are a family favorite in my house. I look forward to summer every year just so I can make Sweet Cherry Pie from Cook’s Illustrated. When I saw this recipe for Cherry Crumb Tart I knew I wanted to make it and I was equally glad that it was chosen for this week’s Tuesdays…
Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta
I love mango and think everything goes with mango but sadly my family does not share my love affair with this fruit. This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Vanilla Mango Panna Cotta on page 370 of Baking Chez Moi. I have never had or made a panna cotta before so this was all…
Apricot Raspberry Tart
When voting time came up on Tuesdays with Dorie, I wanted to make all the recipes with summer fruit. I just love summer and its bounty of fresh fruit. The group voted for Apricot Raspberry Tart page 145 from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie’s Sweet Tart Dough is flawless and I can get it to come…
