Let’s talk Whoopie Pies! The previous two versions I’ve blogged about were both from Baked: Red Velvet and Pumpkin, both with cream cheese filling. I was interested in trying these ones mostly because of the filling, a Swiss Vanilla Meringue Icing that I’ve always been too intimidated to try before....
I really have no frame of reference for these cookies. I’ve never flown with Delta, so I haven’t crossed paths with “the greatest snack in the sky“. And in the last year when Biscoff recipes started popping up on food blogs (in both spread and cookie form), I honestly had no idea what they were talking......
A few weeks ago I hosted my 2nd annual Champagne & Cookies Christmas Party! Nothing like a little hi-brow/lo-brow mixer to kick off the holidays! Just like last year, I spent the month of December in a cookie tizzy, with a list of 28 recipes I wanted to make. After some soul-searching and a serious conference......
Does anyone else have a problem with procrastination? This is a major theme in my life, but I’ve really been putting a focus on it the last six months or so. I tend to avoid annoying tasks (i.e. calling Rogers AGAIN about my bill, organizing the storage in my bathroom) until they are completely driving me......
Halloween usually finds me channelling my inner kindergarten teacher, making cutesy treats and lots of black and orangethings to eat. I made a few treats this year, and Kristine and Erin came over to hang and snack, and then I brought in the many leftovers to my co-workers (they love me)....
Happy Belated Thanksgiving you guys! I had a very relaxing long weekend, and my appetite returned just in time for me to feast. I wasn’t feeling so hot when I returned from my 48 hour anxiety attack, but I just took it easy last week and I was in fine form on Sunday night. My Mom’s turkey......
Yup, you know it, back with s’more s’mores! I’ve had these bookmarked since November and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make them, but I’m also glad I saved them for summer!...
Johnny Mac turned 6 last month, and although I tried to sway him one way (“Are you sure you don’t want Star Wars cookies again?”), he definitely had his own ideas about the treats he wanted (“Well, actually, Auntie Robyn, can’t you make some Marvel cookies?”). After learning my lesson with his sister’s magic wand......
My niece Amy turned three at the end of May, and of course as soon as Matthew’s school bus cake was done, I started thinking about which treats I wanted to make for her princess party. Every pretty princess needs some pretty pink princess cupcakes, and this recipe from Smitten Kitchen was perfect. I’m......
Howdy y’all! Welcome to my first Baked Sunday Morning! This is an online baking group that is working through Baked Explorations one recipe at a time. You guys have already seen and probably eaten a few things from this book: Sweet & Salty Brownies, Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, and Chocolate Mint Thumbprints. I thought jumping into the group would be......
