Tuesdays with Dorie: Peanut Butter Torte

I was one happy lady when I found out that Elizabeth of Ugg Smell Food chose the Peanut Butter torte for this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe. When it was my turn to choose the recipe, I kept going back and forth among this one and a few others, but eventually went with the Snickery [...]

Classic Brownies

No TWD for me this week, but I wanted to post on Tuesday anyway!  I’ve been experimenting with different brownie recipes lately. I’ve been trying a few of the fancier ones, but this time I just wanted a plain old classic brownie. I turned to Cook’s Illustrated for a good recipe because they [...]

April Daring Bakers: Cheesecake Pops

This month’s Daring Bakers Challenge was hosted by Elle of Feeding My Enthusiasms and Deborah of Taste & Tell. Thank you Deborah and Elle for hosting! They chose the Cheesecake Pops from Jill O’Connor’s book Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey. I’ve seen many bloggers make recipes from this book, and I think that I [...]

Ultimate Turtle Brownies

I love brownies, and I love experimenting with different types of brownies. One of my favorites is Dorie Greenspan’s Quintuple Chocolate Brownies, but this one just may be my new favorite. I’ve had my eye on these for a while since I first saw them in Cook’s Illustrated, and I decided that I [...]

Peanut Butter Brownies

I was craving something peanut butter last week. I thought about making peanut butter cookies, but I remembered this recipe for peanut butter brownies that I saw on Smitten Kitchen. I thought it would be perfect. I love peanut butter and chocolate, so this was the perfect combination. They turned out [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Gooey Chocolate Cakes

Thanks to Leigh of Lemon Tartlet for picking this week’s recipe. Leigh chose Dorie’s Gooey Chocolate Cakes, and I was very pleased with her choice. See, I am a true chocolate lover at heart. I usually eat something chocolate every day, and I think that the best desserts are chocolate. [...]

Tuesdays With Dorie: Snickery Squares

This week it was my turn to choose the recipe. I am glad that I joined so early, otherwise it would be forever before I would get my turn. Our group is really growing! I had a really hard time deciding because everything in Dorie’s book looks so good. I finally [...]

Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars

I have had my eye on these ever since I saw them in Jaime’s blog, Good Eats ‘n Sweet Treats a couple months ago. I love the chocolate and peanut butter combination, and when you add in marshmallows and a cake-like layer, how could you go wrong? These were so delicious and [...]

Blondies

Tomorrow I’m taking my Almost-Fudge Gateau (see post below) to our young adults group at church. Even though it’s delicious, I thought I should bring something that’s not quite so rich for those who can’t take as much chocolate as me =) There has been a recipe for blondies that has been going [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie Week 8: Almost-Fudge Gateau

This week Nikki of Crazy Delicious chose Dorie’s Almost-Fudge Gateau. Gateau is a French-style cake. I would describe this as a mix between cake and a brownie. It has a very dense texture, and the bittersweet chocolate gives it a very rich flavor. I really liked the way the glaze added [...]
