Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Here's a good holiday gift idea for your tea loving friend...make them some earl grey tea cookies!
Poached Pears
Every Wednesday night I hang out with my gal pals and watch Glee! This week I volunteered to make dessert for the season finale (waah). Last week I made my sausage soup that ended up in my friend's driveway. Don't ever think you can put a pot of soup in a tote bag. It didn't work....and somehow I figured it wouldn't. Why did I insist on it anyways?
Give the gift of Treats!
Let's face it, this year giving presents will be a bit tough with the economy in the crapper. What better excuse to get into our kitchens and make stuff?!! It's fun, rewarding and it's a great way to show people that you care!!
I also find that baking late at night with a cocktail is VERY therapeutic. Agreed?
So I've compiled a little mash up of ideas for you!
If you want to treat your friends & family to some amazing candy, make:
Weekend Waffles with Joy!
Quick! There's still time!!! Make some batter tonight!
Make some weekend waffles with maple peppered bacon!! DO IT!!!
I got the recipe from of Joy the Baker!
Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies
Look what's currently sitting on my kitchen counter!
And there's a whole other group of them on the cooling rack...just chillin'
Pumpkin Parfaits
Look at this picture from Gourmet magazine's website and tell me you do not want this???!?!!!?
Did you click on it?
Spiced Bundt Cake
CHINESE. SPICE. POWDER. It's what pushed me over the edge to make this! I love the complex taste of it, but I've only had it in a few savory poultry dishes. So the thought of it being paired with sweet, ginger pieces had me.
Apple Cake
I volunteered to bring dessert to our weekly Girl's Night tonight. Last night I was furiously searching the internet for "apple dessert recipes."
Fortunately Deb at Smitten Kitchen seduced me with her pictures of her Mom's Apple Cake.
I knew I had to make it!
