Have I mentioned that I adore Udi’s products? Their sliced bread is the only gluten-free sliced bread I regularly buy. Their bagels are amazing (another item on the list of things I thought I would never eat again) and their pizza crust is used in my dinner several nights a week. When I heard they…
Sweet of the Week #18, Cake Pops/Balls/Truffles with Deanne
I adore Bakerella. I spend more time than I should admit admiring the beautiful photos on her website. When my friend Deanne suggested we get together and try our hand at making Cake Pops, I quickly agreed. Really, how hard could it be? Bakerella has amazing step-by-step instructions, the ingredients are all easy plus Deanne…
Sweet of the Week #17, Gooey Butter Cake with Thad
This week’s Sweet is another creation I had never baked before: Gooey Butter Cake. I wanted to share this week’s treat with a friend in St. Louis and was looking for something St. Louis is known for. Toasted Ravioli wouldn’t work. Neither would a concrete or an Imo’s pizza. Nope, it had to be Gooey…
Sweet of the Week #16, Hamantaschen with Celeste
This week’s sweet was chosen for a couple of reasons: it would be delivered on Earth Day so I wanted to include something representing the four seasons and I would share it with a friend who is Jewish so I wanted to make a traditional Jewish recipe. Hamantaschen worked on both accounts! I started with…
Duck Funkin’ Donuts, May 19th
In my donut journey last year, my absolute favorite donut shop in the KC area was John’s Space Age Donuts. I was hesitant to visit it so early in the year, because I knew it was a sure thing. Nearly everyone I asked in the Johnson County area said I HAD to visit John’s. They…
Paradise Donuts, Lenexa, KS
I know, I know…my 52 weeks is up. I’ve visited more than 52 unique donut shops in 11 states but still can’t get rid of the Donut Bug. On April 3rd Jasper Mirabile talked about coffee and donuts on his radio show and I realized I was seriously missing donut adventures! (I also think I…
Sweet of the Week #15, What’s New Cupcake? Cupcakes and Sugar Cookies
(This post grew quite long. It contains 3 recipes that are related to each other, the story of my first food competition and meeting two of my cupcakes heroes. So much for brevity!) While at the Giada De Laurentiis book signing hosted by Rainy Day Books (more on this later), I received a flyer about…
Sweet of the Week #14.5, My Birthday!
There is not an actual recipe to share with you in this entry. It was my birthday and I made my own cupcakes. Perhaps this was more than a little self-indulgent, as I rather enjoyed making them. I did share them with friends, I just didn’t bake them for a specific friend. It was a…
Donuts vs. Cereal
It seems when people mention a bad food, one that is nutritionally defunct or that we should simply avoid, donuts are at the top of the list. While I am not in agreement with this, I’ve not spent much time arguing the point. I’m too busy eating donuts. Here’s an article about the sugar content…
Sweet of the Week #14, Caribbean Cowboy Cookies with Samara
Recipes for Cowboy Cookies were numerous across the net. I chose to start with one from Martha Stewart, since “my” cookie recipe is a modification of one I found on her site years ago. I trust her and have never had a total failure from one of her recipes. This is the recipe I started…
