I kind of have a thing for mint and oreo. If you don't believe me, check out my post for Grasshopper Pie and I'll tell you all about it. Mmm, it's like a dream!
Imagine what would happen if gooey chocolate chip cookies and crunchy Cracker Jack had a love child. Caramel corn blondies are born! These are best served the day they are made for the crunchiest texture, but they are still yummy as the popcorn softens.
First off, I'd like to say that it has been an incredibly busy and exciting month, hence the lack of updates. It all ended a few days ago, when I finally graduated from high school (that was pretty exciting...)! Now that it's summer break, I'm free to bake as much as I want and I am...
Cook's Note: It's important that the cream cheese is at room temperature. If needed, soften it in the microwave for just a few seconds. Combine pudding mix, sweetener, vanilla extract, and milk in a bowl. Stir vigorously until it's smooth and slightly thickened. Mix in whipped topping and cream cheese.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and transfer to the preheated oven to melt. Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, lavender and salt in a bowl. Stir in the milk, 1 cup sugar, the lemon juice, zest and vanilla to combine.
Icebox cakes are delicious in every flavor and shape, but this s'mores version (inspired by the blog Completely Delicious) is perfect for summer. No oven required, and you get the nostalgic toasted flavor of s'mores in cake form.
I would contend that strawberry shortcake is not only the best summer dessert, but also the best dessert for a summer party. Why? Well, beyond the obvious - juicy ripe berries, cool whipped cream, and tender biscuits are basically a love note in the form of dessert, complete with hearts dotting every "i" - all the components can be made well ahead of party time, and even packed up to go.
Cookbook author Dorie Greenspan has an unusual dessert in her repertoire that's perfect for the holidays -- a gateau Basque from southwestern France. The cake is sturdy, easy to transport and can be eaten any time of day. What makes it so intriguing is that it has a clue as to what's baked inside, Greenspan says.
It's been a while since I've taken a 7-day break from blogging. And you know what it's clarified? It clarified that I obsess-a lot and I suffer from a little bad faith (and I don't mean in the religious sense). That's right, I had a week long battle with my annoying self.
