Please update your google readers!! http://feeds.feedburner.com/howsweeteats/smSp After laying on the couch for 7 hours on New Year's Eve, I threw on some of my classiest XXL sweat pants, a dirty sweatshirt from the 70's, put my hair up on top of my head, and with no makeup on went to my aunt and uncle's house to ring in the new year.
I've always wanted to make sourdough bread and can finally check it off my culinary bucket list. And rather than doing it in week(s), I did it in hours. Traditional sourdough starters take 5-7+ days to develop, and making the bread can take a full day, so you're looking at a week whereas I made this bread ...
A couple years ago I made a Red Velvet Strawberry Shortcake Cake. Little did I know (as is most often the case when I am creating recipes!) that it was an original recipe. Whoopee! These cupcakes today are the babies to that original cake. With a special twist of course!
One sweet and eye-pleasing treat that has been on my baking radar is Blue Velvet cake. I've been seeing beautiful versions online, and I recently spotted Blue Velvet cupcakes at my favorite local bakery. I love the idea of a striking blue cake, but many recipes yield a misleading result.
You are truly going to love me. Do you remember the English Trifle Cheesecake I posted a couple of weeks ago? Well this amazing Tiramisu Cheesecake follows the same basic concepts with the fabulous flavors of that ever popular Italian dessert.
This month's Progressive Eats is one I've looked forward to from the moment the chill was gone and we knew summer was actually, finally here. How I LOVE homemade ice cream.

I don't know that there are three other ingredients that go together quite so well and in magic bars - forgetaboutit!
There are few occasions when I'd argue that "baked" rules over "deep-fried." But believe it or not, a piping hot oven-and not a vat of bubbling oil-is the secret to the crispiest, crackliest chicken wings. And with just five ingredients and 50 minutes, you'll be licking your fingers clean for every last taste of these Crispy Baked Asian Chicken Wings.
I know what you're thinking....sigh...another lemon dessert. I'm a little surprised myself. Where did this sudden love of citrus desserts come from anyway? But this was too good not to share, and when I bake, I bake to share. What's the point of making something good and keeping it all to yourself.
The title might be false advertising.......... because ............I made this cake with a boxed mix. I know, I know. Let's just cut to the chase. A quality homemade cake is going to beat out a cake made from a box just about every time. But making a cake from scratch isn't always in the cards.
