Biscoff-Nutella Bars
Have you tried Biscoff yet? It kind of tastes like…peanut butter made out of graham crackers? I dunno, it’s fabulous. So when you combine that with Nutella, you get a pretty amazing combo. Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups packed light brown … Continue reading
Pineapple (or whatever) Danish
I think for me the standard danish flavor is usually lemon, but this time I decided to change it up a bit. I liked the result, but you’re more than welcome to try your own variations as well! I’m not … Continue reading
Lady Bug Puffs
It’s once again time for a Daring Bakers post! Kat of The Bobwhites was our August 2012 Daring Baker hostess who inspired us to have fun in creating pate a choux shapes, filled with crème patisserie or Chantilly cream. We … Continue reading
Squaw Bread
My former coworker Jeremy sent me this recipe last week, at the recommendation of his mother. (Well, I assume she recommended it for him to make, but… it got made, one way or another.) It’s got kind of a strange … Continue reading

Lemon-Filled Meringue Shells
Wasn’t really sure what to call this, as the Wikipedia leads me to believe pavlova isn’t quite accurate… whatever they are, they’re a bit rough, looks-wise, but spot on, taste-wise. Ingredients: a double batch of lemon curd 4 egg whites, … Continue reading
