Shortbread is one of the easiest things to bake, because you only need a few ingredients (mainly butter :)) and it is a fairly neutral item so you can make all kinds of different variations by adding in other ingredients. This particular recipe features chocolate and orange, a combo I love. This recipe is superContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Orange Shortbread Bars”

Caramel Peach Pie
Making pies is so much fun! It might seem intimidating to make a pie from scratch, but it is one of the most satisfying baking activities in my opinion. There is nothing to be scared of, if you follow a few key rules. I have a pie crust tutorial here, on my method for makingContinueContinue reading “Caramel Peach Pie”
Milk Bread Crust Rusks
As I mentioned in my post yesterday for Japanese Egg Salad Sandwiches, a lot of milk bread sandwich recipes don’t use the crust. This recipe is a great way to use the wonderful crusts from this bread. It is super simple and you end up with a crispy, chewy, buttery, delicious treat that reminds meContinueContinue reading “Milk Bread Crust Rusks”
Mango Lime Tart
Tarts are so much fun to make, and this one was so summery and fruity and creamy. I could eat this for dessert for a week straight. This tart is easy to make because it has a graham cracker crust, and a mango custard filling that is baked in the crust, so no stove topContinueContinue reading “Mango Lime Tart”

The peach and blackberry filling with a hint of thyme wasn’t overly sweet and had amazing fresh fruit flavor. The crust was flaky and buttery and with the sanding sugarContinueContinue reading “Peach Blackberry Galette”

German Chocolate Cake Cookies
These cookies…..drooooool. These taste like an extra delicious, softer, homemade version of the Samoas GS cookies (which are our fav GS cookie for a reason). They have a slightly chewy, very chocolately cookie base that is topped with some drizzled milk chocolate and then this caramel coconut topping. YUM! I used my favorite Ghirardelli milkContinueContinue reading “German Chocolate Cake Cookies”

Things are a little busy around my house right now as my two college kids are back home for a bit and my daughter is finishing up at high school. I’m doing lots of cooking, but getting time to post what I’m making is a bit more of a challenge. I had to share thisContinueContinue reading “Strawberry Gelato”
The Easiest Chocolate Pudding Cake
This weekend I tried this recipe for easy chocolate pudding cake with whipped cream topping. My family (other than me :)) tends to prefer whipped cream or swiss meringue type frosting as compared to regular American buttercream so when I saw this recipe I knew I wanted to try it. To be honest, I wasContinueContinue reading “The Easiest Chocolate Pudding Cake”
