Moist and fluffy lemon cake made with just one bowl! Minimum clean up, maximum deliciousness! I'm a fan of one-bowl anything. I like to avoid the messy clean up part of an indulgent dessert. Confession time: I'm a little OCD and I can't really enjoy my cake until the dishes are in the dishwasher.
The boy and I took a quick day trip to Buffalo, NY on Monday and while we were out there we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon visiting the local zoo. Lazy was the theme. All the animals were just lying around. Not very interested in people...but I wouldn't blame them, it was a nice day to lay low and chill.
Yesterday Emma and I shared a little peek into my new cookbook, Bakeless Sweets, and today I'm going to give you the goods: a recipe! I had a hard time choosing which one to share with you (Pistachio pudding? No-bake creme brûlée? Raspberry yogurt squares? Tiramisu?)
The Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache, Kahlua Whipped Cream and Oreo is the definition of indulgent baking! My friend Jocelyn has written a lovely book called Grandbaby Cakes and this cake is one of the masterpieces in it! Sharing it with you today is pure joy for me as I consider Jocelyn to be like a sister.
It's not a birthday without cake. I'd like to elaborate on that concept. I think birthday parties require multiple cakes. "Smash cakes" seems to be all the rage for children's first birthdays. Google "smash cake" and be prepared to see lots and lots of images of little babies destroying cakes with their bare hands.
Soft raspberry-swirled muffins stuffed with a cheesecake-like filling and topped with a generous sprinkling of coarse sugar! The perfect addition to your Mother's Day brunch! Can you believe it's May already?! Not to mention, Mother's Day is THIS Sunday, which means you only have 6 days left to plan/buy/make something super special for the woman who brought you into this world.
Everyone's mom or grandma has a saying that always ends up sticking with them. It may be a wise saying, a humorous one, or simply to scare a child from doing certain things. My grandma (savta), would always tell me, er, more like yell at me, "Not with your teeth!"
A cheesecake recipe is perfect for so many occasions. This mini New York cheesecake recipe is perfect to make as individual servings. I adore cheesecake. Year round, it is always a classic dessert recipe, but when the weather is warm it immediately tips the scale as a favorite.
Last week I went away to Cornwall for a few days to unwind and relax after a busy summer. This year seems to be going by so fast, and I definitely needed a little break. It feels like only yesterday I was waiting for Summer to begin!
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies I remember, as a kid, Crinkle Cookies were the pinnacle of my Christmas cookie season. Once my mom had made a batch of those, I felt like Christmas could officially happen, and I could survive another 11 months without Christmas treats.
