While I was reviewing the lemon squares recipe it seemed similar to The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tart from Baking From My Home To Yours which I had previously made. My comments were “french style is code for butter with a side of butter”. This recipe calls for a few steps and planning ahead….

Chocolate Chestnut Tart with Vanilla Chestnut Syrup
When I hear the word chestnuts I think of Nat King Cole’s version of The Christmas Song. Even though chestnuts seem synonymous with the holidays I have never had one until now. I took one baker’s suggestion to cut the chestnuts in half for easy cutting and eating. I also have finally learned to bake…
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,…
Pear Cranberry Roll Up Tart
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…
Tuesdays with Dorie Rewind!
I am fairly new to all of Dorie’s cookbooks and I am currently cooking my way through three of them. One of my favorites is Baking From My Home To Yours. I wish I had known about this group when you were baking your way through it, it would have been fun to participate. I…
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…
