TWD: French Pear Tart

I’ve haven’t been diligently following the assigned recipes over at Tuesdays with Dorie, like I’ve mentioned I have been cooking or baking anything since Christmas and only in the last few days has the itch returned. So without further ado, the french pear tart assigned a few weeks back that I wanted so badly to [...]

TWD: Buttery Jam Cookies

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Buttery Jam Cookies as chosen by Randomosity and the Girl.

These cookies were quite simple to make, didn’t require refrigerating the dough and was fun in that a friend and I got to roll them between our hands to make that cute little button ball shape. I used Sarabeth’s [...]

TWD swap: Chocolate Chip Cookies

This week’s TWD choice was Kugelhopf and I couldn’t have been less interested. Not only that, but I’ve never baked cookies from scratch and have been itchin’ to make some. So I did.

Caramel Peanut Topped Brownie Cake and Debate

Combine excessive heavy thick dessert-as-dinner with gloom doom sober presidential town hall debate and you will concoct a devil of a poison resulting in indigestion and mental constipation. I baked this recipe chosen by Wee Treats by Tammy for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie (join before closing membership availability 10/31) and prior to baking was [...]
