Sticky Toffee Pudding I love the Sticky Toffee Pudding ice cream that Haagen Daaz makes -- enough to make me want to make the real thing myself. But what recipe to use? In my searches I came across these four, one of which I will make one day ... haven't decided which yet though. Recipe #1: Sticky...
The other day I saw a post on Anna's blog that inspired me to once again try my hand at candy making. About 6 months ago I made rosemary caramel shortbread cookies. The caramel was delicious, the cookies not so much. I started by using the recipe she linked to for Fleur De Sel Caramels on Epicurious...
This has been quite an uneventful week in the kitchen. Well, what I should say is uneventful for my blog as I've already blogged about pretty much everything I've made this week. With the change in weather temperatures (holy crap it snowed here - it's only October for crissakes! Have I mentioned how...
I wonder how many post titles will reference checking out someone's buns today.. Surprise! It's the September Daring Baker challenge day! WOOO! Actually this month, I made the challenge at the beginning of September - like a day or two after the recipe was announced. That's not like me, kids. Not...
Ha.. it's "later next week" already! Ohh yes.. I made this again just last night - actually just a few hours ago. I woke up shortly after going to bed with a most delightful coughing fit and couldn't go back to sleep. I caught up on some e-mail, and could barely keep my eyes open so I decided to go...
I'm up at the crack of freakin' dawn on a Saturday when I wanted to sleep in until AT LEAST 6:30.. Gah. What happened to the days of staying up (and usually out) until 4 in the morning and sleeping until noon? Yanno.. this growing up/old shit is for the birds. :P Anyhoo.. I guess excitement might...
And not just any caramel.. salted butter caramels! I DID IT!!!!!! Thanks to my wonderful friend, Helene and her fantastic recipe, for the first time in my life, I conquered the hot sugar jeebies! You might notice that mine are not chocolate like hers were.. and there's a reason for that. I honestly...
This month's challenge was simply wonderful and very surprising. At least to me. =) Our beautiful hostesses this month are my sis, Veronica and the incredibly sweet Patricia. These two lovely ladies chose the Milk Chocolate and Caramel Tart from Eric Kayser's Sweet and Savory Tarts for us Daring...
Jeez.. I hope this pattern of tardy entries to HHDD doesn't continue any longer! I apologize for being late, Helene my love! So yes, it's that time again and this is my second submission for a Hay Hay It's Donna Day event! This month's host is one of my closest and dearest friends, Helene of...
I live across the country from my parents, so visiting them requires a four hour flight and a 2 hour drive by car to get me to their doorstep. It's a trip that I take once a year or so and this time, I made sure that I was loaded up with some Christmas treats in order to celebrate the holidays...
What more can be said about this super addictive snack (crack)? It's been written in about a hundred different places and it all started here. It's seriously good. Insanely addictive. Shall I go on? The crazy thing about this candy is that it uses Matzoh crackers. For reals. The only Matzoh I had on...
Monday was Robin's 42nd bday. She requested a yellow cake with a choc. frosting. I ended up making her a Southern Caramel Cake because she loves caramel. Holy batman can you say butter sugar overload? The frosting contains 2 cups of brown sugar and a cup of butter. The cake has 1/3 cup butter and...
Last night we made another recipe from The Perfect Scoop. Caramel pear. It was as good as it sounds. It was even worth the loss of my plastic spatula. The recipe starts by placing 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan. You turn the heat to medium and melt the sugar. B gave me the spatula...
Even though my friends have coined me the "slave driver", all the workers at the local Smart & Final recognize me as the girl who buys heavy cream by the gallon and I've developed the tiniest callus on the tip of my thumb, it was all for a good cause. I was thrilled when I was asked to make a...
Here I wanted to show so me pictures i took a while ago in Caracas, of some typical venezuelan sweets made out of coconut, strangely enough, to be that much of a "classical" and locally produced venezuelan product, they weren't available everywhere and i had to look out for some of them, since there...
