Coffee Break Muffins (TWD) 20 Sep 2010 11:01 PM (14 years ago)

Rhiani of Chocoholic Anonymous is our hostess this week, and you can find the complete recipe on her blog.I've been needing this additional boost of caffeine. Insomnia + catching up on DVR backlog = not a lot of sleep.Dorie goes bold with the coffee in this recipe. Strong brewed

Cranberry Upside Downer (TWD) 14 Sep 2010 3:08 PM (14 years ago)

Chosen by Sabrina of Superfluous, you can find the complete recipe at Dorie Greenspan's website or Sabrina's blog. In lieu of fresh cranberries, I opted to use Trader Joe's frozen sweetened

Crunchy and Custardy Peach Tart (TWD) 24 Aug 2010 2:25 AM (14 years ago)

This week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe is Crunchy and Custardy Peach Tart. I'm wrestling with serious writer's block, so you will have to excuse me as I'm going to keep this post simple and let the photos do most of the talking.Instead of a large tart, I opted to make smaller individual tarts. The recipe, which you can find at Rachel's blog Sweet Tarte, will make six 4-inch tartlettes.Start with

Zucchini, Carrot, and Cranberry Muffins 19 Aug 2010 7:26 AM (14 years ago)

I purchased The SoNo Baking Company Cookbook eons ago, and it has sadly been collecting dust on my bookshelf until now. John Barricelli is one heckuva pastry chef, and I totally admire his accomplishments. With Martha Stewart complementing and backing his talents, you know that he is a pastry rock star.Yes, I fantasize about opening a bakery like his...There are so many delicious sounding recipes

Fresh Fig Muffins 17 Aug 2010 6:56 AM (14 years ago)

When my husband and I purchased our home way back when, we were particularly thrilled that our backyard had a variety of fruit trees growing: orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach and fig.During the summers, we would gorge ourselves silly with the bounty of peaches and figs that we harvested from our postage stamp sized backyard. I didn't do a lot of cooking and baking back then, so most of the fruit

Oatmeal Breakfast Bread (TWD) 16 Aug 2010 11:01 PM (14 years ago)

Things have a bit hazy for me this past week, as I've been fighting a nasty respiratory infection. Feeling under the weather + medication + hot summer weather = yuck!Under normal circumstances, this week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Oatmeal Breakfast Bread would be a cinch to prepare. However, in my medicated state I was a complete ding dong and left out the most important ingredient - oats.

Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream (TWD) 9 Aug 2010 11:01 PM (14 years ago)

When we're talking about chocolate ice cream, my husband is the connoiseur in our house. He's a less is more kinda guy, and believes that "all that unnecessary stuff" (i.e. nuts, chocolate chips, etc) gets in the way of enjoying really great chocolate ice cream. In most instances I do agree with him, but there are times when nothing else satisfies me like a double scoop of Rocky Road in a waffle

I've made this week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Lot's Of Ways Banana Cake several times before, and I can tell you that this is a keeper!For some, all they see are sad old bananas. For me, I see a delicious banana cake in the making:In the book Dorie shares that this cake can be baked in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Brrr-ownies (TWD) 14 Jul 2010 11:58 AM (14 years ago)

I'm back!!! The hubs and I had an amazing two weeks traveling through Italy. Along with the breathtaking sights, we indulged ourselves with food, wine, and gelato. Just before we left for vacation, a friend gave me this advice: "Eat, drink and enjoy yourselves silly while in Italy. I promise that you will not gain a pound." Yeah, right! After returning, the hubs and I each hopped on the

Cinnamon Swirl Bread (TWD) 14 Jun 2010 11:01 PM (14 years ago)

This week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Raisin Swirl Bread is all about my baking frenemy, YEAST. Once in a blue moon, I will experience baking success with yeast. However, more times than not I've ended up with some pretty spectacular fails, and vowing during those moments to never to bake with yeast ever again (okay, I'm being a little melodramatic).With this bread recipe, I'm happy to

Profiteroles 2 Jun 2010 4:15 PM (14 years ago)

It's finally feeling like summer, and the warm weather always puts me into the mood for ice cream! The hubs and I are not fussy about how we enjoy our ice cream. We'll usually enjoy our frozen treats straight of of the carton or generously scooped on sugar cones.If I'm feeling particularly fancy and entertaining dinner guests, these delicious profiteroles will make an appearance. Composed of a

Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie (TWD) 24 May 2010 11:01 PM (14 years ago)

After reading through this week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Banana Coconut Ice Cream Pie, I wasn't sure that this would be my cup of tea. Something about food processing together bananas and ice cream didn't whet my appetite.The crust of this pie calls for butter cookies, a generous amount of butter (1 stick!), and a boatload of coconut. Instead of butter cookies, I used these:I scaled this

Quick Classic Berry Tartlettes (TWD) 10 May 2010 11:01 PM (14 years ago)

With all of the gorgeous fruit on display at my local farmers market, I was super happy that Christine of Cooking With Christine decided on Quick Classic Berry Tart for this week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe.I definitely have a weakness for fresh fruit tarts. As I couldn't trust myself with a full-sized tart at home, I transformed this recipe into tartlettes --- I can have a little taste and then

Burnt Sugar Ice Cream (TWD) 4 May 2010 5:16 PM (14 years ago)

Oh yeah baby - this Burnt Sugar Ice Cream tastes as good as it sounds. I love all things caramel, but have avoided making it from scratch --- I guess I've experienced one too many burnt sugar messes. This time, I watched my sugar like a hawk.The caramel base starts with sugar and a little water which is dissolved into a syrup. Now, it's time to watch carefully: Nope, it's not ready yet:Oh yes,

Chocoblock Cookies (TWD) 26 Apr 2010 11:01 PM (15 years ago)

This week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe for Chocoblock Cookies means serious business with all of these delicious add-ins:In addition to the above ingredients, this cookie recipe calls for a healthy amount of old-fashioned oats and molasses. As I'm not a big fan of molasses, I substituted an equal amount of Lyle's Golden Syrup, which provides the same consistency as molasses without the strong

Strawberry Shortcake 25 Apr 2010 3:43 PM (15 years ago)

In Southern California, you know it's springtime when you start to see an abundance of gorgeous strawberries popping up at the farmers markets. Gaviota, Camarosa, Chandler Seascape...so many varieties to taste, all with their own textures and flavors.Growing up in Orange County way back when, my family lived in an area where land originally devoted to strawberry fields and orange groves were

Swedish Visiting Cake (TWD) 20 Apr 2010 5:50 AM (15 years ago)

I'm a week late in publishing last week's Tuesdays With Dorie selection, Swedish Visiting Cake. No excuses this time around - I just suffered from a case of chronic procrastination. I definitely didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to rave about this ridiculously simple and totally yummy cake, so am doubling up with this week's TWD post for Sweet Cream Biscuits.

Coconut Lime Tea Cake (TWD) 5 Apr 2010 11:01 PM (15 years ago)

I totally dropped the ball and didn't get my Tuesdays With Dorie post up on time last week (s0rry Carmen!). I promise that I have a good reason, as you can see here (the poor girl looks completely miserable, doesn't she?):You would think that just after turning a year old that my dog would become older and slighly wiser...wishful thinking! Siena was tearing through the house like a tazmanian

Happy Birthday Siena (and her favorite dog biscuit recipe)!!! 25 Mar 2010 2:40 PM (15 years ago)

Happy Birthday Siena! Our little pooch is celebrating her first birthday, and she spent her day in typical California girl fashion, lounging around the pool and soaking up the sun. Looking at her now, I can't believe that she is the same tiny pup that we brought home last spring: To mark this special occasion, I busted out the mixing bowl and baking sheets to make Siena her favorite homemade
