Sticky toffee pudding is something I’d heard rumblings about before and sort of put it in the back of my mind to maybe try one day. I had never eaten it and really knew nothing about it, but I figured… Sticky? Good. Toffee? Good. Pudding? Goooood. I most likely couldn’t go wrong with this, but [...]

This kugel is the follow-up post to the Honey Cake from yesterday, the two recipes that I contributed to our little Rosh Hashanah dinner celebration (non-Jewish folk that we are). The first time I had ever seen or heard of noodle kugel was while watching an episode of Barefoot Contessa. I don’t remember what else [...]

Back in the day before I thought about food 24/7 and I was relatively new to the kitchen, I made this dessert to take somewhere. Only I made it with boxed pudding and Cool Whip. Which isn’t terrible, but I love making as much from scratch as possible, so quite a many years later, this [...]

Three years ago today, Brown Eyed Baker was born with a short little write-up and small picture about my favorite Italian Wedding Soup. My, how we’ve grown! I wanted to celebrate three years of fabulous food and fun with a favorite dessert that has yet to make its way to the site. While I usually [...]

Today is my Grandma’s 90th birthday, and I wanted to commemorate the occasion here on Brown Eyed Baker by sharing one of her recipes. My first inclination was to feature Pepperoni Bread, but that has already graced the screen here, plus I really wanted to share a dessert. (But please don’t overlook the pepperoni bread – [...]

I have a rather brief history with bread pudding, having tried it for the first time only this past New Year’s Eve. But oh, I was in love. Perhaps it was the chocolate, the Grand Marnier, the freshly whipped cream, the raspberry coulis, or the combination of all those flavors in bite after sweet bite, [...]

Confession #1: Before this week’s recipe, I had never had flan. Confession #2: After this week’s recipe, I officially do not like flan. Perhaps it is an acquired taste? I had heard rumors that there existed a love/hate relationship between most people and flan. I thought for sure I would love it. I love pudding, [...]

Having successfully completed my first Daring Bakers challenge in September, I was eagerly awaiting my next; however, when the new challenge was announced for October, I was afraid… very afraid. Custard. The dreaded custard. I fear baked goods with eggs and have never attempted anything like a custard or pastry cream because I always feared [...]
