My favorite way to eat a chocolate chip cookie - when it's the size of a cake! Decorate with frosting, slice, and serve. This is going to be your new favorite dessert. In fact, if you make 1 cake recipe from my blog, this has got to be it.
Well guys, I diddly done did it. I done put sourdough in my dessert. It was really only a matter of time. I promise you won't even be able to tell that it's there. Like we've discussed before, using starter in quick breads or cakes really just adds a subtle tang and {sorry} moistness similar to that of buttermilk.
Except for carrot cake, I'd never thought of the carrot in terms of dessert. Until I moved to India and I had this Carrot halwa, also known as gajar ka halwa. Carrot halwa is a sort of carrot pudding, a simple dessert made with grated carrots, milk, cardamom, ghee (clarified butter), and dried fruits, and it has a delicious unique taste that I can't really compare to anything.
Summer screams for frozen treats. It does. I can hear it. Don't you? And not only are ice creams and other frozen treats tasty, but they're usually pretty doggone simple. Today I'm sharing a recipe for a grapefruit and lime sorbet. I really enjoy the combo of the freshness of grapefruit, and the perkiness of the lime.
I think most of us know (and love) Heidi Swanson's website, 101 Cookbooks. It has certainly been one of my favorite food reads for many years, and I am always inspired by the way Heidi brings vegetables to the fore, often in unexpected ways.
As a reasonably responsible adult capable of navigating public transportation, paying bills on time, and operating a washing machine, I recognize that certain days demand restraint. We best fasten our top button, order a club soda, and keep our elbows off the table. Today is not that day.
Between all the list making and preparation for our Amsterdam trip, all the cat-sitter coffee dates and day dreaming, these adorable peach cookies are what has been on my mind for the past few weeks.
This YouTube video has 1.2 million hits. I think I'm responsible for at least half of them. Lately I've been obsessed with this band Lake Street Dive. It's a group of students who met at music school and then started a mowtown-meets-jazzy-soul-pop band. (YOU try to find a better description for their sound).
Tonight Eric was telling Charlotte her nightly Star Wars story. (Yes, really.) He said, "And then Darth Vader told Luke who his father was. And Luke said Noooooo!" Never will you hear the phrase, " Luke I am your father" in this house. Oh no.
Cookie butter, methinks, is possibly the most dangerous butter invention in the history of buttery things. Besides the real deal of course. Perhaps a little behind the curve, I didn't purchase my first jar until a few months ago.
