This month’s featured chef on I Heart Cooking Clubs is Tessa Kiros. This is a new chef for me which is one reason I love this cooking group. We are always changing chefs and I am always learning more. Since I did not have time to go to my local library for one of her…

Stained Glass Cookies
I inherited my mother’s cookie cutter collection and it has brought back wonderful family memories to use them in this week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe. Stained Glass Cookies from Baking Chez Moi. I got out my box of cookie cutters and picked a few appropriately sized ones to use. This recipe calls for Life Savers,…
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…
Crispy-Topped Brown Sugar Bars
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making Crispy-Topped Brown Sugar Bars (page 324) from Baking Chez Moi. Dorie’s cookbook states “This is what Rice Krispies Treats would have been had they been born in France.” My son still likes the original the best. Dorie gave the option of making caramelized Rice Krispies (page 428)…
Croquants and Curried Shrimp
This week on French Fridays with Dorie we are finally making a dessert! Dorie says “named for its texture (croquant means crunchy), the cookie is so crisp that there’s no way to eat it silently.” Dorie gave a few suggestions on nuts and I went with hazelnuts and almonds. This cookie had very few ingredients;…
The Rugelach That Won Over France
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making rugelach and not just any rugelach but the rugelach that won over France from Baking Chez Moi (page 301). After reading the discussion thread on the website I decided to make a few adjustments before baking. I made the dough and chilled it in the refrigerator for…
Palets des Dames, Lille Style
Today on French Fridays with Dorie we are celebrating Dorie’s birthday with sweets from her new cookbook Baking Chez Moi. With the release of her new cookbook, just 4 days away, Dorie has shared some baking recipes in advance. Palets des Dames, Lille Style; Canneles; and Chocolate Cream Puffs with Mascarpone and Rose Filling. My…
Vanilla Vegetable Salad
The heat wave is gone, the marine layer is back and my oven is back on. But for this week on French Fridays with Dorie we did not need our ovens. Vanilla vegetable salad (page 114) only needed a vegetable peeler, carrots, yellow summer squash, olive oil, lemon and a dash of vanilla extract. I…
Applesauce Spice Bars
It has been a bevy of bars in my house lately for cookies. These Applesauce Spice Bars were more cake-like than cookie but delicious. Loaded with apple goodness and raisins with a nice glaze they made a great dessert. I also made Chewy, Chunky Blondies which disappeared quickly with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and coconut….
Buttery Jam Cookies
Baking From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan After making Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops and Cocoa Sables, both of which were big hits, the request from the family was a cookie that wasn’t chocolate. I picked out these Buttery Jam Cookies knowing that I had jam lovers in the family. Unfortunately, they were not…
