Chocolate Malt Whoopie Pies – #BakeTogether

January 24, 2013

In my humble opinion, there’s really nothing better than cake. Hmm… well, maybe the only thing better than cake is handheld cake. I’m talking about whoopie pies people! Some people think of these little delights more like cookies while others think they’re more like cake. I’m on the cake side of the fence but we [...]

Cinnamon Pecan Toffee Cookies – #BakeTogether

December 26, 2012

I almost didn’t make it this month. It was getting down to the wire here. I’ve been so busy with Christmas as well as some very sick little girls this week. So when all of a sudden I realized that December was nearly over I found myself in a mini-panic! I still had yet to [...]

Caramelized Pear & Walnut Goat Cheese Skillet Souffle – #BakeTogether

October 25, 2012

Oh my goodness, this month is just flying by! Honestly, it’s just getting away from me. I don’t think I normally wait this long to get around to doing BakeTogether. I just haven’t had the time. But this month’s BakeTogether is just too good not to make it happen. Abby posted a lovely Caramelized Pear [...]

Peach Melba Hand Tarts with Brown Butter Crust ~ #BakeTogether

September 24, 2012

Let’s start with a little history, shall we? You may recall, last year at the end of October a very pregnant me hopped a train to NYC to meet up with some fabulous people to celebrate glorious pie. Yes, pie! The dynamic foodie duo of Jackie and Ken threw a pie party. Everyone brought one [...]

Vanilla Bean Almond Panna Cotta with Fresh Cherries & Candied Toasted Almonds ~ #BakeTogether

August 20, 2012

This month for BakeTogether, Abby gave us all a “no bake” assignment which was a wonderful blessing considering the horrendously hot, humid weather we’ve been having here in New Jersey lately. I’ll take any excuse to keep my oven off these days. Abby felt the same way when she decided we would all make panna [...]

Blueberry Peach Shortcakes – #BakeTogether

July 26, 2012

When Abby posted this month’s BakeTogether recipe for shortcakes, I was tempted to make hers just as she originally wrote it. Chocolate shortcakes with chocolate bits topped off with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. But that isn’t the spirit of BakeTogether, we must make it our own although clearly, it’s hard to top that original. [...]

Pina Colada Angel Food Cake Roll ~ #BakeTogether

April 29, 2012

Maddy has been talking about swimming and the beach nonstop lately. I guess she’s yearning for summer although spring has barely even kicked off yet. She’s the type of child who just loves the water and when those warm, lazy days of summer do finally come around she’ll be in a pool or some body [...]

Cheddar Walnut Sables ~ #BakeTogether

March 22, 2012

This month for #BakeTogether Abby gave us a savory selection. The challenge was to make your own adaptation of her Spicy Parmesan Sables. Challenge accepted! I love sables although I’ve only ever had the sweet version, some of the best ever being made by the very talented hands of Dorie Greenspan herself. But I’ve never [...]

Apple Pumpkin Sour Cream Coffee Cake for #BakeTogether

October 24, 2011

This month for #BakeTogether, Abby decided to have us make a sour cream coffee cake. When I heard this, I was psyched. It’s such a classic cake yet somehow, over the years I’ve actually never made one. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever really even had a homemade coffee cake. Sure, I’ve had the [...]

September 17, 2011

During the last few days of August the East Coast had quite the visitor blow through. You may have heard about a little hurricane about 600 miles wide named Irene? She certainly wreaked havoc on all of us over on this side of the country, the fabulous Abby Dodge was no exception. She had no [...]

In June, I told you all about #baketogether and introduced two refreshingly vibrant sorbets for the occasion. After Abby Dodge gave us a “lazy days of summer” extension on the July posting, I’m back with the next installment of deliciousness! This month she challenged all of us to create a summer fruit cake. Abby’s original [...]

#BakeTogether with Abby Dodge & Sorbet “My Way”

June 20, 2011

In the vast world that is the internet, sometimes you connect with a group of people with shared interests and it’s magical. Since starting this blog that place for me has been Twitter. Before becoming a food blogger, I didn’t really “get” Twitter. However, it’s been a place that has put me in touch with [...]
