A couple of weeks ago it popped up in conversation with my friend Emily that National Pie Day was coming up soon. It has since passed, but from that conversation I learned that Emily’s favorite pie is Blueberry Custard. Before making these pies, I had never made or eaten Blueberry Custard pie. In fact, eating…
Sweet of the Week #4, Choco-Toffee-Craisin Cookies with Tina
Many years ago, maybe 1999 or so, I saw Martha Stewart on TV with guest Torie Hallock making cookies that sounded divine. They included chunks of chocolate, toffee and dried cherries. I went to the store to find the ingredients and couldn’t find the cherries. I substituted Craisins, added a bit more flour, used chocolate…
Sweet of the Week #3, Bake Sale Cupcakes with Ginger
The devastation from the recent earthquake and the seemingly non-stop aftershocks in Haiti saddens me. I wanted to do something to help. Vegan bake sales began popping up all over the country and I decided to join in the fun. A Vegan, Gluten-Free Cupcake sale in Kansas City? Well, why not? Last year I participated…
More Free Donuts…
On a recent excursion to Quiktrip, John got a coupon for a free donut. A fella was inside Quiktrip handing out the coupons, presumably in an attempt to help people break their New Year’s Resolutions as soon as possible. Being a good donut samaritan, John brought the coupon home so I could see it instead…
A New Lamar’s…
Lamar’s isn’t one of my favorites*, but free donuts are always good. The newest location of Lamar’s in Overland Park, Kansas is offering free glazed donuts and coffee the 21st-23rd. Here’s a blog post about it. *As I’ve said before, I feel guilty that I am not particularly fond of Lamar’s, as they are the…
Sweet of the Week #2, Chocolate Snowball Cupcakes with Richard
I’m not a baking purist. I sometimes take shortcuts in the kitchen. So here goes…This week’s sweet uses a mix. Gasp! In the last post, I mentioned my dislike of many gluten-free mixes. They smell funny, they taste funny and the consistency is often not at all like the gluten-filled counterpart. The following creation is…
Sweet of the Week #1.5, Bittersweet Bakery
As I mentioned in my Sweet of the Week #1 post, my friend Mary and her hubby went to Bittersweet Bakery in Eagen, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. The treats they brought back were too good not to share with you! I should mention that I am not a fan of many gluten-free sweets. Many…
Sweet of the Week #1, Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies with Mary
With no break between the 52 Donuts adventure ending and the 52 Sweets project’s start, I had to get moving quickly. I had to select a recipe, acquire the ingredients and choose a friend with whom to share the very first sweet… Instead of doing these things as planned, I had oral surgery, hence my…
Me…On the Radio
As I mentioned in the last post, I was on the Walt Bodine Show to talk about the 52 Donuts Project and this blog, the 52 Sweets project. You can read my full report over at 52 Donuts. And now, back to the kitchen. I must find something yummy to bake for the first installment…
Sublime? Ridiculous? ODD?
On Monday, January 4th, I will be one of the guests on the Walt Bodine show on KCUR, Kansas City’s NPR affiliate. You can catch the show live from 10 to 11 a.m. or download the podcast. Here’s a blurb about the show: With an almost infinite number of blogs available, what are local Metro…
