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…
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…
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…

National Lamington Day celebrates an iconic Australian dessert. It is observed every year on July 21. In honor of this day we are making Lamingtons for Tuesdays with Dorie. Lamingtons are cubes of cake usually sponge covered in chocolate and coated with unsweetened coconut. This is a new dessert for our household but we were all…
Nectarine-Berry Cobbler
Since I am going to make a berry pie later this month I decided to go with Dorie’s Playing Around suggestion and I made a Nectarine-Berry Cobbler. A cobbler is a combination of fruit and biscuits and Dorie’s version includes cottage cheese in her biscuits. A quick search of my blog and I discovered that…
Strawberry Tart
This tart is supposed to have a bottom layer of poached rhubarb but after going to three grocery stores I ended up empty handed, so strawberry tart it is. This was a lovely summer dessert with strawberry flavor throughout. The strawberries I purchased were quite large so I only needed a few to cover the…
Smoked Salmon Roll-Up
To amp up the flavor I substituted my jar of Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend. I used one tablespoon in place of the other ingredients in the cake and my husband picked the same blend in the smoked salmon. This roll-up delivered on flavor with so many ingredients inside. I don’t…
Curd, Cream and Berry Cake
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there. I voted for this because I think whipped cream, berries and cake is a quintessential spring dessert and perfect for Mother’s Day. Based on reviews from those that have made this already, I needed to enlist a dish washer ie my husband and I needed to…
