Viva Nostalgia

Remember the super sticky sweetness that was the mallow cookie? A seventies treat that grew into a wagon wheel fit for a brown bagged lunch. The sweet classic with a dollop of strawberry jam under the marshmallow for just a little extra kick of sugar. I would pick off the outer chocolate coating to...

February Daring Baker’s: Flourless Chocolate Torte

I’ve been starting to think the monthly Daring Baker’s choices were pretty serendipitous. From the Perfect Party Cake for my birthday right up to this month’s Valentino Cake. The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE’s blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.  We have...

Éclairs

Oh why must I always leave everything to the very last minute? Maybe because I do, really do love éclairs and wanted to be able to eat (and share, yes that too) them while they were still delicious, crisp and light as air? Of course on the eve of the big post, I found myself laid up in a hospital emergency...

Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream – July Daring Bakers

Well, here we are, it’s that Time of The Month again. Aren’t I so lucky that this event so often comes along with cake!? Another ground nut, torte-like cake this month. But not just any other – Hazelnuts, my favourite. The nut so good, it tastes like chocolate.  …So much so...

Waste Not.

Have a kid who won’t eat crusts? I do. So instead of having it continuously irritate me, I’ve decided to please both parties. I was inspired after reading this New York Times article about wasted food. Where I’m really happy I live in an area which makes us separate so they can collect...

The Way The Peanut Butter Cookie Crumbled

It would seem that I’ve been having a short slue of serendipitous mishaps in my kitchen lately. First I have the uncheesecake pops from the Daring Bakers challenge and now I have crumbly peanut butter cookies. After a craving and an urge of inspiration from seeing a jarful of banana jam, I wanted...

Cheesecake Pops

This is twice now that I’ve suddenly noticed Daring Baker posts all over the interwebs a little early. I quickly found that we were able to post three days before the end of the month. Regardless, I learned my lesson in reading the fine print and got to the recipe. … And then I found how...

You see, there’s this lovely event that takes place amongst some bloggers, so nicely organized by Stephanie at Dispensing Happiness. “Blogging...
