I love America’s Test kitchen, but at times I get frustrated because over time they’ll remake recipes, saying, “no, THIS is now the best pie crust”. I’m like, wasn’t it your whole job to ensure that the recipe you put out is the best version of each dish? How can there be another one...
An ice cream pie with a chocolate cookie crust, a creamy cream-cheesy vanilla layer, and lots of strawberry ice cream. The chocolate sauce on top makes it look pretty and envelopes the whole she-bang with chocolate. This was super easy to put together and would make a wonderful dessert as the weather gets warmer....
August calls for frozen desserts – especially ones that can be made ahead. I was tempted to put the word “healthy” in the title but “healthier” is the one that makes more sense. I mean, it’s still pie.
Never heard of ’em. Apple dumplings. So Liz sent me three family recipes, one of which was the Deviled Eggs. Next up, apple dumplings. Liz requested pictures for her dumplings because she couldn’t quite make sense of the recipe her great aunt had left behind. Truth be told, it was a bit of a...
As I write this post there is a quarter of this pie in my fridge and its all but shouting my name. I can almost hear it through the door. I’ve texted my neighbor to tell me the second they get home so I can bring them what’s left of the goodness before I...
It doesn’t get more “fall” for me than a pumpkin pie. I’m classic that way – you can keep your pumpkin spice latte and I’ll keep my pie. Making pies with my mom before Thanksgiving is one of my favorite traditions but this pie is too good to save. It serves 8, can be served...
Alternate title could be “I didn’t know key lime pie was so easy to make”. And also, “I didn’t know that I am obsessed with key lime pie”. True, this is a rather tropical dessert, but my taste buds didn’t care as I dug into a second slice.
I’ve said this before but the recipes I make have probably been getting more simple and less time consuming than the other way around. All of my food sentimentalities are still there but I just have less time to play in the kitchen. That being said, when it’s your father-in-law’s birthday and he requests...
The winter blues are affecting my cooking. Everything seems hard. My friend sent me a link for a pie that had at least five different parts. I told her I was tired just looking at it. And yet here I am, sharing a recipe with you that has multiple parts. The thing is, only...
If you like peanut butter and chocolate together, you WILL like this dessert. It’s very rich, very peanut-buttery, and seriously easy to make. It is, however, bad for your health. I’d serve this in 10-12 slices instead of 8. Very occasionally you can have too much of a good thing, and the flavor here is...
