Cracking open those orange wrappers and then peeling back the black waxy paper from the perfectly formed Reese’s edges is one of life’s simple, but very joyous, pleasures. Sinking my teeth into the peanut butter cup and making teeth marks into that perfectly smooth chocolate is also high on my list. Banana Cream Eclair Pie. Thanksgiving wouldn’t quite be complete without a banana cream pie.
My grandma made one every year and I’m pretty sure I was the only person to ever eat it. But by the end of the day that pie was dang near gone. So I guess that’s why she continued to make one, year after year. This Banana Cream Eclair Pie isn’t the recipe she used. Hers were always made from scratch–the crust, the filling, the whipping cream, and this one, well it’s half-way home made. I used this Eclair Cake recipe to make an eclair pie crust. But instead, I filled it with lots of bananas. And thick and creamy pudding. Chocolate Cinnamon Brioche Rolls, An Easter Special And A Giveaway.
Some of my happiest childhood memories are of colouring Easter eggs.
I remember my mother, ever the perfectionist, arranging the table meticulously before we started - first with layers of newspaper, then a bowl for each colour, then a spoon for each bowl and kitchen paper under each spoon to dry the eggs on. Everything had to be just so. I don't think you understand dear readers, my mother took perfectionism to another level, one I have never seen in anyone before or since. Here's another example: for friends birthdays, my mother would wrap the presents. But we're not talking normal wrapping here, oh no. She then started by placing the gift in the middle of the wrapping paper, and traced out with a pencil exactly where to cut and fold each side of the wrapping paper. And please remember, she did this for 8-12 year olds - all that time, all that effort, ripped to shreds in 2 seconds without a care in the world for how the gift was wrapped.
Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Cupcakes. Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake. I swear buttermilk is magic.
I’ve dwelled on this before. Buttermilk seems to turn everything to gold. Super-moist, super-delicious gold. Anyway, I needed a simple, summery, breakfasty, cake-like-but-not-dessert-like recipe to make this morning. One of Ben’s friends had crashed here last night, and I thought it only appropriate to treat him to a proper breakfast. Nobody.

Every January for the last few years I have teamed up with the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board to share a new macaroni and cheese recipe with you in conjunction with their blog, 30 Days, 30 Ways with Macaroni and Cheese. Orange PushUp Smoothie. When I was growing up, one of my favorite things to do was ride my bike with my friends to the local gas station’s mini-mart and reach into their freezer case and pull out an Orange Push-Up.
If you like Orange PushUps, Orange Creamsicles, or Orange Julius this is the smoothie for you. I loved Push-Ups and seeing those brightly colored dots meant that creamy orange goodness was soon going to be mine. I love it when Push-Ups begin to melt because they taste even sweeter, creamier, and better. The same was true with this smoothie. As it began to melt, it got even better. Dairy Queen Blizzard. I originally shared this recipe for my column on Serious Eats.

The nature of a Copy Cat recipe is that it takes a lot of subtle factors to re-create a taste we all know and love; if you substitute or deviate from the recipe, it just won’t turn out the same.
