This week’s pick was made by Whitney of What’s left on the table?. Go check out her site if you’d like the recipe. I highly recommend it because it was another great pick this week. These little things are addictive. I cut mine into little triangles and I just kept going back for more. It’s […]
Desserts
TWD: French White Peach Tart
This week I was tempted to slack off and not participate. The recipe looked kinda long and I didn’t think I had everything that I would need. But I decided that I need to make the tart because that was the whole point of joining the group. Baking outside of what I would normally do. […]
Chocolate Banana Cake
I had some ripe bananas that needed to be used up. Generally I can eat them all before they get too ripe but since I was stuck home because of the snow I forget to eat them. I usually like to take them to work with me. Anyways I was looking for a banana bread […]
Banana Cream Pie
I decided to make this for Thanksgiving dinner to take over with me. I had made it a week before for friends that came over. They really liked it and I thought that everyone at Thanksgiving would like it as well and I was right! I found the recipe in Dorie’s Baking From my Home […]
TWD: Thanksgiving Twofer Pie
I had some leftover crust from the banana cream pie (I will post the recipe for this later in the week) that I made for Thanksgiving so I decided to make two small pie shells and stick them in the fridge for later. I knew that I needed to make the twofer pie but when […]
Cupcake Bites
When I first saw these cupcake bites at Bakerella I knew I had to make them sometime. I just needed to find the perfect excuse to make them and what do you know I finally found one! Jo had her birthday party on Saturday and I thought that these would be the perfect thing to […]
Dimply Fig Cake
I’ve seen this recipe floating around and decided that I wanted to try it. Since I didn’t have any plums, I decided to use the figs that I had picked up from the fruit stand the other day. For the most part I followed the recipe only making a few changes. Instead of orange zest […]
Sweet Potato Creme Brulee
So I’ve been wanting to make creme brulee for a while now. I even bought real vanilla beans so that when I did decide to make it I would have them on hand. I’ve never used real vanilla beans before but I think that they are worth it if you are going to make creme […]
Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Buttercream
I’ve been craving cupcakes. I’ve seen so many good looking recipes online that I decided to make some myself. This was my first time making cupcakes and frosting from scratch and I think they turned out well. I found a basic vanilla cupcake recipe and vanilla butter cream recipe here and made some changes to […]
Double Chocolate Chunk Brownies
I was craving something with chocolate in it and I thought what about brownies. I haven’t made them in a while so I thought it was about time for some. I found a basic recipe here and made a few changes. I mean extra chocolate can’t be bad can it? I decided that it needed […]
