Have you ever accidentally purchased “white bark” at the grocery store? It looks like white chocolate. It vaguely smells of white chocolate. But, the taste is pure oil and artifical flavor chemicals. The synthetic chemical taste is absolutely and utterly disgusting. You must use white chocolate in this […]
Eat me.
Just make & bake…. Then, you’re 25 minutes away from one delicious (and satisfyingly hearty) treat. Oat Bars with Peanut Butter, Cranberry and Chocolate Makes 1 – 9×13 inch baking dish 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1 […]
Now that the spring colors light the air, we don’t mind the cool fronts that whisper in and out of our lives. I for one look forward to these last reminders of winter. They offer a last chance to use that chill as an excuse for a soothing cup of […]
Trader Joe’s Sunflower Butter… love it. But, it’s a little intense and overpowering. So, these bars are perfect. The white chocolate mellows out the nutty bitterness. It’s ok to eat what is essentially candy if you throw some oatmeal in there? …Right? No? La […]
Shouldn’t the cook get first dibs? Nope, not in this house. What you see pictured (above) is the very last chunk of cake. That little scrap was all that remained after a day in the fridge. Disappearing faster than the speed of light, why was this piece spared? […]
In an attempt to keep the sugar content to a minimum, I might have used a wee too little sugar. This coupled with the fact that my polenta was excruciatingly fresh, the flavor of corn was stronger than I’d prefer. This strong corn flavor almost overpowered the dish. Next time, […]
I added coconut, pecans, ritz crackers and chocolate chips to my cookies. To compensate for the oily coconut, I reduced the butter by about 4-5 tablespoons. And, I think I’ll do the same next time. (Even if I choose different snacks and sweets.) Momofuku Milk Bar’s Compost Cookie […]
With a taste reminiscent of upscale Hershey’s syrup, this wasn’t exactly my goal. But, the smooth consistency made lovely drizzles. This is a perfect chocolate sauce to use as a garnish. And, it makes a near-perfect chocolate milk, as an added bonus! Chocolate Sauce makes over 2 cups […]
The peel of three grapefruits provides more candied grapefruit than you can use in a year. After setting aside enough candied peel for easter (most to be used in easter bread and wheatberry pie), I still had two full sheet trays of candied peel. So, I decided to turn the […]
A shocking amount of chocolate is needed to give this mug of hot chocolate the flavor you would expect, even using 82% extra-dark chocolate. But, I’ll happily give up dessert for this mug of liquid chocolate. It’s worth every sip. To gild the lily, I’ve added a super-sized jumbo marshmallow. […] |
