So this seemed like a good idea and the non-baker's way to offer up super fast dessert. Adding chocolate chips makes bread pudding Valentine's Day friendly too! More to the point, I scored some major household points. As this was a first timer for me, I admit I may make adjustments. That said, baking eggsContinue reading “When Life Gives You Leftover Challah Pudding”

It’s a Bundt
When you don't have butter, make this cake. Thank you @Hersheys.com for keeping this classic for us. Hot water and veg oil make for a super moist cake. I sacrificed snow day cocoa for this confection and it was worth it. The online version calls for frosting. My number 1 son doesn't care for it,Continue reading “It’s a Bundt”
EZ As…Well, Frankly, Easier Than Pie
This crust is from one of my all time fave fruit based dessert cookbooks. I've filled it with fruit from just about every season. It is not hard to roll out. Just remember to flour your surface and rolling pin. Mistakes can be patched with extra dough. No judgement. Galette Dough Rustic Fruit Desserts byContinue reading “EZ As…Well, Frankly, Easier Than Pie”
Meat free and Monday Pudding
I'm not advocating for weeknight dessert after reading the latest in the NYT's from noted food and health doctor Robert Lustig regarding sugar consumption. BUT as a treat, this “Best-Ever Vanilla Pudding” from Better Homes and Gardens works just fine. Hands down it eclipses powdered pudding! A couple of notes, the first step can takeContinue reading “Meat free and Monday Pudding”
Venetian Apple Cake
We call this the devil made me do it cake as I've been known to double down around Halloween. As Gina De Palma describes in her book “Dolce Italiano” it's an easy, make it in an afternoon cake. Try to get the eggs, butter & milk to the same temp. (I lifted the ingredients &Continue reading “Venetian Apple Cake”
710 WOR JAM TIME
I’m back! And just in time to guest host on 710 WOR, 6-10 am east. I will keep it short and sweet so you have time to download the FREE app to listen anywhere in the country (you can call too!) http://www.iheart.com/mobile/ I had a bowl of overripe peaches and load of guilt for wastingContinue reading “710 WOR JAM TIME”
Not Key Lime Pie
Or…a great no bake citrus dessert As my guy pointed out this holiday weekend, we've come a long way. As in, I was trusting him to shop for the groceries, even when company's coming! By coming a long way, I'm pretty sure he meant I've given up a touch of control. I prefer to lookContinue reading “Not Key Lime Pie”
Watermelon Pops
It's here, ice pop season (well it was here, yesterday. I presume it will come back). Ice pops, aguas frescas, granitas, smoothies etc. are all great ways to use up fruit. I think pops are the easiest. Feel free to doll up the watermelon with lime zest or mint simple syrup. Or just make theContinue reading “Watermelon Pops”
On Cake
That’s right, no free ride in my kitchen! If you want a Monday night dessert, I don’t care how quick it is, you have to work for it (although I am strongly reconsidering the “teach them to do laundry” policy after the gum and pen incident in the dryer.) Separately, isn’t it amazing when geneticsContinue reading “On Cake”
Cookies…By Popular Demand!
For goodness sake, I tried to give you greens (see previous post) y'all only want cookies. Fine! I celebrated the March snowstorm making agave oatmeal chocolate chip. Mostly I wanted to use the agave that was sitting in the pantry for a while. The best way to get inspiration is to try to use upContinue reading “Cookies…By Popular Demand!”
