Another Yellow Cake….

October 26, 2008

It was time for my last wedding cake class yesterday, which meant I needed to bake. We were to do a 3 layer cake, but only required to have one of those layers real cake. I planned on the 9 and 6 inch layers being real. But, as I did not feel my best last […]

October 25, 2008

in viaggio/on the road I carpooled with two of my colleagues Friday to a meeting we in Macon, 2 hours away. A couple of weeks ago these same two ladies and I had a laugh when one of them was eating store bought granola. I mentioned how easy granola is to make and have stored […]

Cece Pomodoro

October 23, 2008

magra consolazione/cold comfort The weather is finally cooling off and fall is here. Yeah! Unfortunately, I have been feeling crappy all week. It seems as though my body is fighting whatever ickiness is going around and, with body aches, I can’t seem to get enough sleep. With the gym completely taking a back burner this […]

Grilled Chicken Patties

October 23, 2008

pollo/chicken What do I hate more than a leaving my camera in my office? A blurry camera phone picture. Oh well! Sorry for the eye flutter. I recently made some Asian Turkey Burgers. They were tasty, but preparing them in my grill pan led me to feel they were a lot like flat top, diner […]

Pear, Prune, and Almond Purses

October 22, 2008

lacci della borsa/purse strings Part of my mini-Sunday brunch this weekend, the same that produced the Prosciutto & Pepper Egg Souffle, also included a dessert. While I would never deny some sort of sweet to cross my plate, I prefer something lighter for an early afternoon meal. This was peeerfect! I didn’t make the crepes. […]

Prosciutto & Pepper Egg Souffle

October 21, 2008

piccolo morso/little bite You know how I do enjoy my baked eggs. Egg souffle’s are also my favorite to make for Sunday brunch, especially individual servings. When I was in Pier 1 last week and saw cute little scalloped ramekins in the clearance aisle for $1, my mind immediately went to brunchy foods. So, I […]

Orzo with Tuna & Capers

October 20, 2008

tonno/tuna I made an exerted effort to bake this weekend. Unfortunately, the kitchen gremlins decided to visit. Their stay resulted in a jacked up Cookie Monster, gummy pumpkin spice muffins, and horrible chocolate mini loaves. I wanted to make more, since my plan was to prepare trays for some state department people coming to our […]

October 19, 2008

incasinato/messed up Remember when Elmo visited Atlanta? Well, his visit lead to my neighbor asking about Cookie Monster. Make a Cookie Monster? uhhhhh…..dunno? Oh…my….I feel that internal competition thing again…. Even with the large 3-D bear mold, simple? No. The fur was finger wrenching. Mouth? I made it too small and tried to back track […]

Asian Turkey Burgers

October 16, 2008

Asiatico/Asian The picture that accompanied the original Asian Turkey Burger recipe looked so tasty. Excited to try it, I knew my limiting bread from my diet would render my final patties naked. No problem! Naked burgers and a veggie…yum. Working with what I had, mine was ever so slightly different. I began with getting it […]

Ghostly Mini Cupcakes

October 15, 2008

spettrale/ghostly The Halloween Cupcakes I made last week were so much fun, I wanted to do it again! However, I decided to try a different recipe, one from Joy of Baking, and make minis. These little guys were perfect companions to my mini fondant figures. I went with orange icing and brown icing – simply […]
