Strawberry Mirror Cake

I joined the Daring Bakers in September 2007 with my inaugural recipe being Cinnamon Rolls & Sticky Buns, but prior to my joining, the group had already made 10 fabulous, daring recipes. It is my goal to eventually tackle all of them, as well as the few that I had some trouble making since I [...]

Beef Wellington

July 25, 2008 | 16 Comments | Email | Print

I know, I know,  I said that this blog didn’t have “fancy” recipes, but consider this one of my exceptions. I was first introduced to Beef Wellington when I went to Fleming’s Steakhouse a few years ago. While browsing the menu, it jumped out at me: Filet mignon? Check! Mushrooms? Check! Wrapped in flaky puff [...]

American Sandwich Bread

Otherwise known as, white bread. I know, you’re probably wondering to yourself, isn’t this the umpteenth “classic white bread” recipe this chick has posted? Well yes, admittedly, I think this is now the third different loaf that I have blogged (there was the Better Homes & Garden version, then the Peter Reinhart recipe, and now [...]

Pasta Fagioli

Well, after not really getting sick for two years, I’ve been hit with a whopper of a cold, in the middle of a July heat and humidity wave, no less. Regardless of the heat, what do most people crave when they’re buried under blankets on the couch all day (assuming there is central A/C involved)? [...]

Hearty Whole Wheat Bread

| 2 Comments | Email | Print

The journey to a great loaf of whole wheat bread took a bit longer than I had originally anticipated. After having great success with classic white bread and bagels from Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, I naturally turned to the same book when looking for homemade wheat bread instead of buying another loaf at [...]

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

This installment of the Barefoot Bloggers comes courtesy of Sabrina and Alexander of Cooking with the Kids, who have chose Ina’s Jalepeño Cheddar Cornbread, which is featured in the Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook. I was really excited to make this, as it came from a cookbook I already own, and cornbread sounded so good, [...]

Bagels

July 9, 2008 | 8 Comments | Email | Print

Look out Panera, there’s a new bagel maker in town! I do love Panera bagels and usually always get one whether I’m there for lunch or dinner, and I’ve really wanted to try my hand at making them from scratch. I put it off for a couple of months until I found myself with an [...]

Fresh Blueberry Pie

July 7, 2008 | 11 Comments | Email | Print

Everyone seems to go crazy for blueberries and strawberries around the 4th of July holiday, so it seemed like the perfect weekend to whip up a blueberry pie with one of my favorite people, Annie. Annie, by the way, appears to be superhuman – she gave birth only a little over 2 weeks ago and [...]
