As soon as apples hit the market in the autumn, our minds turn to apple pie and turnovers, preferably accompanied by large spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream. However, if you’re running short on time, or are inexplicably freaked out by pie dough (like me), you may be tempted to whip up a dessert that incorporates all of the flavors of apple pie, without the fuss. Instead of rolling out pie dough, just cut open a package of egg roll wrappers, which can be found in most supermarkets. The apple pie filling is classic and simple: apples, sugar, lemon and spices. Bundle up the filling in the egg roll wrappers and bake. Half an hour later, you’ll be digging into these crispy treats.View Post →

  I bought some blueberries at the store the other day, with the purpose of making something tasty with them. I love eating them fresh and have trouble stopping at just one, but I enjoy them even more when baked into a delicious, stick-to-your-hips kind of treat. This German coffee cake from Deborah of Country [...]View Post →

   So what if I told you this was my first go at blondies? It’s true! Not a day in my thirty-something years on earth have I ever had a blondie until the other day. Truly it was only a matter of time, and when my eyes locked on Sharon’s recipe for Brown Butter Chocolate [...]View Post →

I always like to try a few new cookie recipes every season. I was looking for a festive holiday cookie recipe on Tasty Kitchen and stumbled upon Monique's recipe for Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies. My search was over. I had to make these cookies. Snickerdoodles are a classic holiday cookie, but these are made with brown butter. Brown butter takes butter, an already glorious ingredient, to a new level of gloriousness. If you haven't tried brown butter, don't wait any longer---make these Brown Butter Snickerdoodles. View Post →

Oh my goodness. You know when you have one of those desserts that completely knocks your socks off? This is it. And it’s simple, too. It’s like the new Holy Grail of treats! After seeing this Cannoli Tart from The Seaside Baker, I knew I had to make it immediately. And immediately I did---like nearly one day later. Not only did it pass my sweet tooth test with flying colors, the ricotta-hater loved it too. You know what that means. You must must must try it! View Post →

  Combinations of chocolate and coconut hardly go unnoticed around here, so when I saw this recipe for Dark Chocolate Banana Bread (with Coconut) from Tasty Kitchen members Chrissy and Lauren, I just had to try it. I had to. The line between “need” and “want” gets kind of blurred when chocolate is involved. And [...]View Post →
