Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie | In addition to these Pumpkin Nut Belgian Waffles, my hubby requested this pie for his recent birthday. Since he was a self-proclaimed ‘cookie monster’, I didn’t even offer to bake him a birthday cake. Instead, I asked him if he’d like a cookie tart instead. Surprisingly, he requested this Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter pie. The title definitely says it all: Oreos, chocolate, peanut butter, frozen, and pie.
How can anything go wrong with that? Unfortunately, for this pie, I had to buy a jumbo-pack of Oreos and made sure that they didn’t get eaten before I got to make this pie :) And the second ingredient was the peanut butter. The super chunky is a favorite at our house, so I had to go buy the smooth type for the pie.

Sarah had finally stopped laughing. There was nothing remotely funny about staring down a dark, ancient tunnel as a flood of icy water came rushing toward your small, helpless, all-too-fragile body. The water surged toward them as if eager to snuff them out. Despite her agile laugh, Sarah had always been somewhat useful in a crisis. As the water came crashing and screaming toward them, she looked to her right and saw a small foothold and then another. Beside her, the professor had turned to run, though the tunnel they’d just traversed was long and winding and, she knew, held no refuge. She grabbed him. They scrambled up the rock face and Sarah ignored the professor’s moaning about having to leave the wall and his precious tools behind. They climbed blindly, Sarah’s heart going a mile a minute as her boots easily found the next foothold and the next.
Only when the cold hand dropped on her shoulder from behind did Sarah finally scream. Recognize these little nuggets? Ingredients Directions.

I noticed recently that National S’mores Day was August 10th and that among the many s’mores recipes floating around the net there were a couple of cocktails, including this article for a smores type martini. I planned this as a special treat for my daughter’s birthday but she’s at that age where birthdays and parents are two words that she finds hard to mesh.

Nothing compares to homemade ice cream in the freezer, no preservatives, no unpronouncable ingredients.
Not that it makes it healthy by any means, but at least there’s no artificial gunk in my ice cream. And when I got David Lebovitz’s Perfect Scoop as a gift (you rock Amelia!) My fascination with making ice cream has slowly progressed to an obsession. This is one of the first recipes I spotted when looking through the book for the first time.
And since I had plenty of Guinness in the fridge from making the last batches of chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream. Heck, I don’t even LIKE chocolate ice cream.

If you’ve been reading for a while, you’ll probably know that I am a little bit obsessed with rhubarb.
In Australia we’re very lucky that it’s available pretty much throughout the whole year, but it's at its best (and cheapest!) Right now. I’ve actually just planted some rhubarb, and I absolutely can’t wait until I’m able to harvest my own.

I’ve had dried lavender burning a hole in my pantry for ages, so I decided it was time to make something yummy. Once I started looking for ideas, I was amazed to discover that there’s an entire cookbook dedicated to lavender. This book is full of delicious sounding savory and sweet recipes, divided by seasons. I plan to start making my way through The Lavender Cookbook as soon as I get my hands on a copy. But for the moment, I’ve modified my current shortbread recipe to make these lavender shortbread cookies.

The Pastry Affair - Home - Grandma's Applesauce. My Grandma is one of the best cooks I know. Every time I visit my grandparents on their farm, my grandmother, without exception, prepares a beautiful feast. She always jokes that her food "isn't any good," but my family knows better, reassuring her once again that no one can cook like she can. She's a humble cook, but knows her way around the kitchen. She's never one to shy away from butter and cream, knowing that sometimes you need a little butter to get cubed potatoes perfectly browned. She knows how to cook a mean roast which falls apart at the mere sight of a fork. My Grandma encouraged me to experiment in the kitchen when I was younger. I remember one wintry, blustery day in particular. My sister, my grandma, and I each tackled a brand on our own.
This applesauce is one of her tried and true recipes. My Grandmother's Applesauce is chunky, soft, and tender, with just a hint of spice.

I've never seen the show Hoarders, but if A&E ever shows up at my door, I'll know exactly what they're here for. It's not the shoes, or the bangle bracelets, or even the drawer full of patterned dish towels that keeps getting stuck shut because I've stuffed it too full.
It's the cookbooks. Cookbooks from restaurants, cookbooks from trips, cookbooks I've received as gifts. Well-loved cookbooks with dog-eared pages and chocolate splattered covers that I pull down from the shelf at least once a week. New cookbooks with glossy photos and impressive sounding recipes that I daydream about but will probably never actually make. There's a stack on top of my refrigerator, another on the bar, and a third in the corner of my bedroom. I've enjoyed reliving the memories of my California adventure by recreating some of the foods that I ate there.

Bridget Lancaster knows her way around the kitchen. This summer, she posted a recipe for chewy sugar cookies. Normally, sugar cookies seem kind of ho-hummy, but if Bridget gave them the thumbs up, I was game.
Here's what I love about recipes from America's Test Kitchen: they're incredibly detailed. Baking is a science, so good instructions are a must. And you always get them from ATK. The secret to the chewiness? Mixed fats. So, the verdict? Want the recipe?

I don’t know why it insists on showing up as a new post… After the Margarita Cupcakes were such a hit, I knew I wanted to go the cupcake route again for the BBQ. I saw these cupcakes also on Confections of a Foodie Bride – she was right on with the Margarita Cupcakes, so I trusted my gut and tried them out, with a few adaptations. I was in the grocery store, reaching for the frozen pink lemonade concentrate when I spotted the raspberry lemonade.
Hmm. I also changed up the frosting. Oh, and all the boys had no problem eating pink cupcakes.

The great cookie off « read . cook . digest. Do I have your attention? If you’re thinking what the hell is bacon doing in Katie’s great cookie off post, then you and I are not cut from the same cloth my friend. In my world, bacon is always an honorary guest at any of my parties. For anyone who knows me personally, you’ll know that I cook to decompress. I’m also an accountant and it is now my busy season.

In the meantime, I preheated my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Last year at Halloween, we didn't get to pass out any candy because we went trick-or-treating at a friend's neighborhood and didn't get home until late. So we had this huge unopened bag of chocolate candy left over. Fortunately, I had just read an article on GOOP that had a recipe for cookies that are made with leftover Halloween candy.
It's a perfect way to use up your leftover candy! I've made different variations of this cookie, but my favorite combination of candy is Almond Joy, Milky Way, and Hershey Bars. The coconut in the Almond Joy, mixed with the caramel in the Milky Way, and the chocolaty goodness in the Hershey Bars makes a perfect combination! Just chop up the candies and mix them into the cookie dough like you would with chocolate chips.
Use a mini ice-cream scoop to make uniform cookie dough balls, and then bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cookie removal (and clean-up!). I'm planning on making these again this weekend with our leftover candy. Happy Friday!
