(Bonus point for you if you read that in Ned Stark's voice. I mean, we should totally be besties) Which is like Winter is coming, only better, because this way you get to eat all the zoatmeal, grilled zucchini, zoodles, ratatouille AND better yet, zucchini chocolate cupcakes!
Once in a while, I find a really good blog that sucks me in for way too long. Just one more post, I tell myself. Then that post links to another great post and there I sit, lost in someone else's life. Why is it we are so intrigued by the lives of perfect strangers?
"I have visited Baumbach's. I have heard Milwaukee drinking its afternoon Kaffee. O Baumbach's, with your deliciously crumbling butter cookies and your kaffee kuchen, and your thick cream, and your thicker waitresses and your cockroaches, and your dinginess and your dowdy German ladies and your black, black Kaffee, where in this country is there another like you!"
I present you with a slice of Mango Royale. This is a variation on a popular Filipino dessert called Crema de Fruta. Traditionally, crema de fruta (which literally translates to" fruit cream") is an icebox cake made of brojas (Filipino equivalent to ladyfingers), whipped cream sweetened with condensed milk, and fruit cocktail.
Delicate white cake, sweet raspberry filling, creamy coconutty filling, and toasted flakes of coconut-the perfect way to welcome summer! Memorial Day is literally one week away, which means Summer is JUST around the corner, which means it's time to break out all those light, refreshing, berry-filled desserts we all can't get enough of!
Three ingredient carrot cake cookies with a smooth and delicious cream cheese frosting. These cookies are perfect for carrot cake lovers and Easter! My husband is the type of person that can pass up almost any kind of dessert with chocolate. There's a part of me that doesn't understand it at all.
Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes: These rich chocolate cupcakes are filled with an easy chocolate mousse and topped with a fresh raspberry buttercream! What are your thoughts on humidity? Because I hate it. We rarely have humidity here, so when it does come, I'm a total wimp about it.
My Hope is here today to share a lovely Key Lime Pie Recipe that we made together and then devoured. We need to have a bake shop just so we can have fun baking things, and have others devour it. I digress ... this pie, oh my!
I sang Disney's Pocahontas "Colors of the Wind" the entire time I baked these carrot cake cupcakes. Pocahontas came out when I was 9, and my expert critical opinion was that-even if Pocahontas can canoe down rivers, talk to trees, and be besties with a raccoon-she would never be as cool as Belle, the obviously superior Disney princess.
New favorite party game: eat all of the Cranberry Baked Brie Puff Pastry Bites before the other guests notice. Buttery, flakey, and filled with tangy cranberry + creamy Brie cheese, these addictive little nuggets are perfectly sized to disappear right into your waiting trap.
