Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Poke Cake
Goodness, summer has come in with something of a bang! Coming from Texas I am used to the heat, and I sort of perversely look forward to summer baking. Yes, the oven makes the house hot but if you plan it just right you can get a cake baked before the heat of the day and have it cooled and ready for dinner. This is just such a cake. It is great because you serve it chilled because of the scrumptious pudding filling/topping. This is my...
Chocolate Glazed Coconut Cream Puffs
No matter the problem, I feel like cream puffs are always the solution. With February firmly behind me I was really looking forward to a new month not riddled with medical issues for both me and my family. We did not get off to an encouraging start, with my husband battling a hacking cough and my beagle needing an emergency visit to the vet. (Both the beagle and the husband are on the mend, and I am ignoring that persistent tickle...
Dark Chocolate Chip Pavlova with Strawberry Whipped Cream
This has been an exciting week for me! I am so happy to let you know that I am going to write a second cookbook! It will be another book about pies, because you can’t have too much pie I suppose, but this book will be different than the last in that it will focus on gourmet ingredients and high-end flavors. I have a pretty tight deadline for this one but I am confident I can get it all written in time. To celebrate I decided...
Strawberry White Chocolate Mousse Crepes
I am a sucker for just about anything strawberry. We have reached that time of year where I start to crave all things Spring. Knowing it it just around the corner makes me anxious for its arrival. The weather here in Dallas is already starting to get warmer, and when things like strawberries start to become more affordable at the market, even though they are not truly in season, I find I can’t resist. I need a little spring...
Raspberry Nutella Bread Pudding
I will admit, I am always looking for new ways to eat Nutella. It is probably one of the tastiest spreads out there, and I will admit to occasionally eating it straight from the jar. No, not my proudest moments. Anyway, I have been up to my eyeballs in pies this week so when it came time to bake something sweet just for me, and not for testing, I decided Nutella would have to be involved. This is a variation on a traditional English...
Gingerbread, Pumpkin, and Sticky Toffee Trifle
The holidays have officially arrived, and I’m in the mood for something both naughty and nice! It is also time for another Project Food Blog Challenge. Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much for helping me get this far! I never imagined I would be participating in Challenge 8, and I am humbled and utterly amazed by your continued support and encouragement! So, I dedicate this recipe to you. For this round the challenge...
