I completely forgot about posting this. I made a TON of cream puffs for Thanksgiving over 2 weeks ago. I guess it was glossed over since it’s been crazy @ work and the photos are forgettable and this wasn’t a big deal; I’ve made these before. Ain’t nothin’ special. I was on a puff-making spree the morningContinue reading “Thankful for cream puffs”

Baking dump
Things have been quite hectic these past few weeks so I’m just posting a quick blurb. I’ve actually been doing a lot of baking, but a massive workload has been dumped upon my desk so I haven’t been able to take pics or write anything witty or creative about the goods. Here’s a rundown of the past 3Continue reading “Baking dump”
Pâte à Choux aka Cream Puffs
Little Miss Irene came and went this past weekend without leaving her mark on our property. There were some of us that said the storm would be overhyped in our area so we just stayed in and didn’t buy into the apocalyptic frenzy at the supermarkets, especially b/c we were fully stocked with liquids andContinue reading “Pâte à Choux aka Cream Puffs”
Citrus and cinnamon on Sunday
We had friends visiting this weekend and I had planned on making a nice breakfast and baking lemon rolls for them to wake up to on Sunday morning. They ended up just staying for the day on Saturday b/c of a high-maintenance pet back @ the apartment… boo. But I still wanted to make theContinue reading “Citrus and cinnamon on Sunday”
A no bake weekend
I promised my mixer and oven some time off this week since they were worked to the point of slave labor during most of July (my poor oven… it seriously needs a cleaning). But I felt like I still had to make SOMETHING and ended up using the stove and microwave instead. I had aboutContinue reading “A no bake weekend”
Obnoxious trendy deliciousness
A few weeks ago, my cousin and I were griping about how certain foods have become ridiculous fads. I was rolling my eyes about how Sriracha sauce was EVERYWHERE as a go-to ingredient and was seen in every other cooking show like it had JUST been discovered, and my cousin was disgusted with the bacon-everything craze and how it abuses the privilege of enjoying bacon. Continue reading “Obnoxious trendy deliciousness”
Joyeux Mardi Gras!
OK, this post is a day late, but that doesn’t mean the cake doesn’t taste good! I took a couple weeks off from baking because my butter and sugar supply had depleted to nothing and because this little project damned near wiped me out. We went to Costco over the weekend and I restocked onContinue reading “Joyeux Mardi Gras!”
Cheesecake cupcakes
This past weekend was a roller coaster ride of emotions. Up: Vin and I had our nice little romantic Valentine’s Day outing; Down: he got a migraine. Up: we both decided we wanted to move back to the city and had a realtor come to check out our house; Down: the housing market isContinue reading “Cheesecake cupcakes”
Holiday leftover bake-a-thon
Thank goodness Christmas is done and over with! I was on a baking binge for the past week. I just couldn’t stop making SOMETHING and I made almost one item a day. Insane! I feel like confectioner’s sugar, flour, and butter are seeping out of my pores. I think I need to detox now. Continue reading “Holiday leftover bake-a-thon”
Eggnog crème brûlée
I had planned to make crème brûlée @ some point this week but wasn’t sure when I would have the time. Of course inspiration randomly bit me in the @ss as I was staring out the window on the LIRR, on my way home from a late evening out with a girl friend. By “late”Continue reading “Eggnog crème brûlée”
