Ah, yes, what can it be? For, you see, this month’s theme is Masquerade Pie, chosen by Mary at Alpineberry and Jeanette at Jeanette’s Mommy Musings.
“Make a pie that has a secret.”
Well, here you go. What’s green and white and encased in golden filo? What is masquerading behind that plain exterior?
I had my eye on [...]

Some time last year, I ran across Smitten Kitchen’s post for Chocolate Babka, and I’ve had it bookmarked ever since. Last week, before I went out of town, I had the opportunity to make it, and use up over two pounds of chocolate.
Two and a quarter pounds, to be precise.

Also known as “Da Bug.” Guarding her loot – a pair of my husband’s socks!
I’m out of town checking in on my auntie, and didn’t get a chance to make the cherry-fudge brownie torte, but take a look at the TWD blogroll to see the results other bakers had with it. And be sure pop [...]

This week, Kayte of Grandma’s Kitchen Table chose Allspice Crumb Muffins, pages 16-17 of Baking: From My Home to Yours.
I got 11 muffins out of the recipe. And used 13 Tablespoons of butter. That’s over a tablespoon of butter per muffin. When my husband bit into one, his first comment was, “There’s a lot of [...]

I confess: in some ways, my palate has the sophistication of a five year old. And macaroni and cheese is one of those ways. I didn’t grow up with the Kraft “blue box,” but on the rare occasions that my folks would go out, my brother and I would get to eat Stouffer’s frozen mac [...]

This month for Recipes to Rival, Heather chose Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon, in honor of the new movie, Julie and Julia.
Now, I took a bunch of photos, but the only one that came out was the one above. And it doesn’t do justice to this tasty dish. I’ve made it before, but I have found [...]
