Ganache Filled Pecan Cookies. Several years ago my husband and I worked in the kitchen at the Seminary.

Ganache Filled Pecan Cookies

While the food in the regular cafeteria at the Seminary was always pretty good, it was fun to work the fancy catered meals and see what delicious things the chef would come up with. One thing that was often served at the fancy meals that wasn’t made in house was an assortment of petit fours and cookies. Elegant assortments of tiny cookies, tarts, cream puffs and mousses that were served with coffee. They were all beautiful to look at, but to be perfectly honest most of them didn’t taste all that great.

The one exception was the almond florentines. So what do those cookies have to do with these cookies? The cookies do get soggy fairly quickly once they are filled so they need to be filled not too long before serving. Ganache Filled Pecan Cookies Makes approximatly 20 cookies For Cookies 1 cup pecan butter 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon Preheat the oven to 350.

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. I am too… and I already ate half of this warm bread. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul.

I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. Baking & Dessert Recipes & Pictures - Joyofbaking.com *Fully Tested Recipes*

Sparkling Cardamom Cocoa Drops (A Review of Desserts 4 Today) Today I am doing something a bit different… I want to share a new cookbook with you, one that I have fallen in love with!

Sparkling Cardamom Cocoa Drops (A Review of Desserts 4 Today)

The book I’m referring to is Desserts 4 Today by Abigail Johnson Dodge, a lovely collection of desserts that can be made with only four ingredients! I first met Abby at the Big Summer Potluck last month. She was preparing one of the recipes in the book during a cooking demonstration. While introducing the book, Abby began mentioning all of the great things that come in fours, including the Beatles. From that moment, I knew we would be fast friends. So, when given the opportunity to review the cookbook, I jumped at the chance. Let’s talk about the format of Desserts 4 Today, shall we? Approachable, Yet Elegant Recipes - Desserts 4 Today caters to cooks of all skill levels. Now, you don’t think I just formed those opinions without making a few of the recipes, do you?

For this recipe, I layered the bananas with peanut butter before dipping and freezing.

Frozen banana bites

If you have a food allergy, an alternative nut-butter would work just fine, or plain old bananas dipped in chocolate alone taste just as good. Have fun using a variety of chocolates. Ingredients: 4 bananas10 ounces baking chocolate1/4 cup peanut butter Directions: Start by slicing bananas into 1/2-inch rounds. Next, apply about a 1/2-teaspoon of peanut butter on each banana slice. Top one with another banana slice, making a small banana-peanut butter sandwich.

Place in the freezer for about 1 hour. Right before you remove the bananas from the freezer, melt your baking chocolate in the microwave. Remove bananas from the freezer and quickly dip each one in the melted chocolate. Return to the freezer and chill for another 2 hours, or until chocolate is firm.
