These amazing chocolate glazed cake donuts from Seattle arrived on my doorstep this week. They look good, right? Well, they were amazing! You know when you eat a really high quality chocolate and the flavor lingers in your mouth, reminding you of the goodness you consumed, making you want more? Yeah, that was these donuts….
Sweet of the Week #6i, Mango Mocha Muffins with dried mango
Feeling really stretched for time this week, I started with a recipe from a trusted source, Jenn at The Whole Kitchen. I modified her Chocolate Ginger Muffins just a bit and came up with these Mango Mocha Muffins. I love the original recipe, chocolate and ginger are two of my favorites, and really appreciate that…
Sweet of the Week #5i, Gluten-Free Compost Cookies with Potato Chips
This week’s Ingredient is potato chips. I like potato chips as a casserole topping, but can’t recall ever using them in a Sweet before, although they seem like a natural fit for those of us who like the salty and sweet combination. I started with the original Compost Cookie recipe by Christina Tosi of Momofuku…
Chocolate Ale Cupcakes, A Valentine’s Sweet
Living in Kansas City, surrounded by local food products rivaling those created in cities more noted for their food scene, makes me feel spoiled. While we will probably always be known for our BBQ, there’s so much more here….like beer and chocolate. The cupcakes below were created with Boulevard Chocolate Ale, a limited edition member…
World Nutella Day, Gluten-Free
Nutella is a staple in our cupboard. My husband eats Nutella with everything and with nothing, meaning he will eat it off of a spoon. Today was his version of a High Holy Day, World Nutella Day. Our plan was to include Nutella in every meal today and we succeeded! I should be honest and…
Sweet of the Week #4i, Chocolate Macarons with Prune Filling
This week’s Ingredient is prunes. Yuck. That was my initial reaction to using prunes in a Sweet. I did not think I was a fan of prunes. I think of prune juice as a high fiber natural remedy to keep things moving, something that is served along side breakfast to senior citizens in a Florida…
Sweet of the Week #3i, Pineapple Anise Pop Tarts
Anise is the ingredient from -the list- that I am using this week. I first tried the combination of pineapple and anise in dessert tamales from La Tienda Chiquita for Christmas dinner. I made a note to use pineapple and anise in something, then Jacob’s ingredient suggestion rolled in. Perfect timing! I chose to use…
Donuts in 2011
Happy New Year! It’s almost February and I have not had any donuts in the New Year worth writing about. Soon I will but in the meantime… Here’s an article from the NY Times about Boozy Donuts, an off-the menu item at Flex Mussels. If you have tried them, I would love to hear from…
Sweet of the Week #2i, Root Beer Float Cupcakes
This week’s Ingredient is Root Beer. I used two variations on Root Beer, both local to the Kansas City area. In the frosting and the ice cream, I used Shatto Dairy’s Root Beer Milk.* A glass bottle of this milk is always in my refrigerator. A favorite of my husband, it tastes like a melted…
Snowy Pirouettes
Surprise! It’s an extra Sweet this week. It doesn’t feature one of the 52 Ingredients chosen for the year, just a bonus treat on a snowy day. This afternoon two of my neighbors were having a duel with their snowblowers, battling to see who could clear all of the sidewalks and driveways on our street…
