Anne of Anne Strawberry picked this week’s TWD recipe, a classic cheesecake recipe. I’m excited to see all of the variations that people come up with for this one! This will be my last official Tuesdays with Dorie post, however, because I’m back on the “healthy eating” bandwagon, and as much as I love Dorie [...]

I love fudge. I especially love this fudge, which does not involve marshmallow fluff. Not that I’m opposed to marshmallows really, but this doesn’t have that weird mouth feel and, in my opinion, is better the next day because it has dried out a bit and starts to feel and taste like crunchy icing, which [...]
I saw this and I had to have it. I love pomegranates. The seeds look like little jewels, and since I am half magpie, I am attracted to all things shiny. And these taste good too! Nom nom. And really, shiny edible things with chocolate… how could I resist?
After the jump is a photo tutorial [...]

This is my first post with the Tuesday’s with Dorie group. Whoo hoo! This week’s choice was Arborio rice pudding, either vanilla or chocolate. Seeing as how no one in the house is a huge fan of rice pudding to begin with, I thought I’d try the chocolate variation and see if I couldn’t get [...]

I would love to say that I made this cake in honor of my blog’s birthday today, but really, I made it two weeks ago and didn’t post it. I’m in love with Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours cookbook, and I announced the other day, much to my husband’s delight, that I’m [...]

This recipe was taken, without any adaptations, from Dorie Greenspan’s “Baking: From My Home to Yours.” I had my doubts about chocolate and gingerbread – they seemed very much contradictory to me when I started, but I was intrigued. This is the best gingerbread I’ve ever had. Cakelike, moist, dense, and rich with flavor. I [...]

I think this recipe calls for a bit too much sugar, so I’d probably back off the next time. I didn’t wimp out too much on the chili powder, and actualy ended up adding regular chili powder about halfway through. The result was a great, slightly sweet, smoky, complex chili that was really enhanced by [...]
I’ve been obsessed with the idea of the British pudding recently (even though I don’t really know much about it, aside from bread pudding and sticky toffee pudding… watch for those coming soon…) and came across an idea for a baked chocolate pudding. Because it’s made with an obscene amount of eggs, it turns quasi [...]
I stole this recipe from Martha Stewart. I cannot admit to watching her show (her voice drives me up the wall) but these are some damn fine cookies. You’re supposed to make them with chocolate chunks, but I couldn’t find those and just used chips. A variation recommended by the website was half butter, half [...]

I saw something similar to this pie somewhere on the web, and decided to modify it to involve as little cooking as possible, as our heat index here approaches 110. This one only involved toasting the marshmallow under the broiler, which I tried to do with our kitchen torch but had some butane issues. [...]
