Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
If you saw my post last Friday, I don’t want to make matters worse by confusing the issue even more……
Banana-Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar-Pecan Swirl takes ordinary banana bread to the next level! I’m not really a shopper, at least not in the sense that most ladies are. I steer clear of the mall unless absolutely necessary (darn Apple Store with its only location in the mall…and double darn Cheesecake Factory with its fabulous cheesecake!). Anyway....
Among the many reasons I adore Wegmans is their soup bar. Their store-bought soups actually taste homemade. (For the most part anyway…the one soup I don’t like is their Chicken and Dumpling. The dumplings used to be really fluffy and tender, but they changed the recipe and now they’re heavy and mealy with a very potato-like taste and texture. I never get that soup anymore…Wegmans if you’re reading, please bring back the previous Chicken and Dumpling!). Back to the soups I do like. Shrimp Bisque, Spicy Tomato with Orzo, Broccoli Cheddar, and Italian Wedding (which is made with beef meatballs instead of pork!), to name […]...
Does anyone remember butter rum flavored Life Savers candy? (By the way, what happened to those? I haven’t seen them in years.) When I was a kid, my grandmother always used to have a roll (or two) tucked away in her purse, and they made an exceptional (albeit, very rare) treat when my sister and I could convince my mom to let my grandmother give us one! (I guess my mom ran a pretty tight ship, lol.)...
Before I made these muffins, I had in mind exactly what I wanted…a moist muffin with a soft crumb, slightly grainy cornmeal texture, vanilla-scented with a slightly caramel-y flavor, and pieces of fresh peach. Yes, that’s all, lol. (It’s a girl’s prerogative to want it all, right?)...
These pretty little morsels are perfect for a picnic or party. They’re portable and they taste amazing served straight out of the oven or at room temperature. This recipe makes 24 two-bite sized canapés, but you can adjust this number based on how large or small you make them. These were delicious as is, but next time I make them I think I’ll experiment and add a sprinkle of something on the top…maybe powdered sugar or basil chiffonade? Any other garnish suggestions?…I would love to hear them! I’m sending this recipe off to Kamran at The Sophisticated Gourmet for this week’s BSI…brown sugar! […]...
