The first holiday Brandy and I are celebrating for our All Through the Year Cheer Event is Halloween! To Brandy and I, Halloween says apples and pumpkins, so this month we’ll feature several recipes with those ingredients. (For some reason, Halloween always puts me in the mood to watch the first Harry Potter movie…I think because of the scene where they show the dining hall of Hogwarts all decked out with pumpkins!) The first recipe I’m featuring is a Pumpkin Yogurt Pound Cake. This recipe is actually a 2-for-1, since I used the same batter to make two completely different cakes. The first cake […]...
Eid Mubarak & Date Bar Cookies
At the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan comes a three-day holiday, called Eid al-Fitr (which means “The Festival of Fast-Breaking”). During this time charity is given to needy families, gifts are given to children, and people get dressed up and visit their family and friends. People greet each other by saying Eid Mubarak (“Blessed Festival”). When visitors arrive they’re usually served Turkish coffee and the traditional holiday date cookies of Ramadan. Unfortunately, these sweets are not something that I make well (to be completely honest, when I last made these sweets they weren’t even fit for human consumption). I need to actually […]...
A Sad Story & Some Double Crusted Chocolate Covered Sweet Surprise Cheesecake to Cheer You Up
I have a very sad story for you (you’re probably wondering how sad a story it can be if cheesecake is involved, and I suppose to that you’re right). Anyway, Delish is hosting a chocolate recipe contest that ends today, with a chance to win a $500 Williams-Sonoma gift card (and I do love Williams-Sonoma!). I just happened to have two blocks of Neufchatel cheese in my fridge and an idea for double crusted chocolate covered cheesecake. So I made this fabulous potentially-would-be-award-winning-recipe and I tried to submit it to the contest. I got an error message saying something like Your recipe can’t be […]...
Cherry Almond Shortbread Tartlets
I made these for a small birthday tea party for my niece who just turned six (I guess girls of all ages love tea parties!). I love the combination of cherries and almonds, but you can use any combination you like…I think peach and pecan would also be amazing. These elegant little tarts are sweet, but not overpoweringly sweet. They’re perfect to enjoy with a cup of fruity herbal tea. Cherry Almond Shortbread Tartlets (Yield: 36 tartlets) ½ c (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened ½ c extra virgin coconut oil (if you don’t have this, just use unsalted butter) ½ c powdered […]...
Classic Yellow Cupcakes with Vanilla Cream (A.k.a. Inside-Out Twinkies)
Be careful, these cupcakes are dangerous. And I don’t just mean because they’re addictive. The other day my husband tried to convince me that it’s been a “really long time” since I had made sweets of any kind. I reminded him of the wonderful giant Hoho birthday cake a few weeks ago, but he had a point, it wasn’t his birthday cake. Anyway, I caved and these cupcakes ensued. Mike loved these cupcakes so much he wanted to share them with his coworkers. I arranged the cupcakes on a plate and sent my husband off to work. Mike put the plate of cupcakes on the […]...
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Vegan Buttercream Frosting (A.k.a. The Giant Birthday HoHo)
This is my mom’s recipe for chocolate cake…actually my mom said she got it from her mom who got it from her mom (I think every family has their own variation of this cake). It’s called “crazy chocolate cake” and for me and my siblings growing up, this was the cake at every birthday party, graduation, and other occasion that required the presence of a cake. This cake was vegan back in the day before veganism was common (or at least before it was as common as it is today). The original frosting wasn’t completely vegan since it had regular milk, but soy/rice/almond milk is […]...
