Individual Monkey Breads. Biscuits, butter, sugar, cinnamon. I think that’s all I need to say about this one. This stuff is astoundingly good. I grew up with monkey bread, but have never made it with this method - it works wonderfully. I think we’re planning on selling these mini ones at the farmers market. Be careful if you use jumbo muffin cups like i did, the butter mixture spillled out a lot and got in the bottom of the oven. Put aluminum foil under the pan.

I’ve been in a mini-mood lately when it comes to baking and these bite-sized pies met my big craving. They are really, really easy. Let me show ya. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I used ready to roll refrigerated pie crust. It comes two to a box and if you roll each round pie crust a little bit thinner with a rolling pin, you can get 24 mini pumpkin-shaped pie crusts out of them. Make sure you use all the dough scraps and re-roll to maximize quantities.
Then, stuff each one in a mini muffin baking pan. Press the dough down, in and around the edge of each muffin cup. Fill each pie crust with pumpkin filling all the way to the top. When they come out of the oven, they’ll be puffed up like this. But no, after they cool for a few, they’ll fall and be flush with the pie crust. See… easy mini pumpkin pie bites. You can even drizzle them with melted chocolate to jazz them up a bit. But wait… you say you don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving. I don’t blame you. Cute! And I’ll say it again… easy! Enjoy! Single Serving Pie in a Jar.
These are individual-sized pies made in little glass jars that can go straight from your freezer to your oven to your mouth. SO cute.

These are just about the best little gift from the kitchen you could share with someone! Pie in Jar This is the type of jar you’ll need. They’re half-pint jars, but short and squatty instead of tall and skinny (Ya know, like me as opposed to my mother. Step 1: Pie Dough The first thing you’ll need is dough. Step 2: Make a topper and line the jar Roll out a small handful of dough. Use the rest of the dough to line the jars. Step 3: Fill ‘er up You’ll need about 1/2 C filling for each jar. Play around with it and come up with something yummy! When your filling is all combined, divide it between the jars and dot a pat of butter on top (about 1/4 T) Ready for this?
Blueberry Crumb Cake. I had approximately one million blueberries in my refrigerator yesterday. They were left over from the Fourth of July and after making blueberry pancakes and blueberry muffins over the weekend, I’d barely made a dent in the stash. I considered making blueberry jam, but I wasn’t sure I was psychologically equipped to sterilize jars and go scuba diving in our pond in search of my jar lifter, which I’m certain my boys had used as a frog catcher earlier this year…but that’s another story for another time.
This is a yummy, moist coffee cake bursting with scrumptious berries. Nothing fancy about it, and that’s exactly what makes it so delicious. In a mixer, combine butter and sugar. All good things come from this combination. Well, most good things. Add egg and vanilla and mix it till it’s combined. Then combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl and add it to the mix… Adding alternately with some whole milk. That’s my add-more-fat-to-your-diet tip for the day! Isn’t that sad? Jam Crumb Cake. Does anyone watch The Shield? Kramer and I have breezed through the first four seasons in a very short period of time.
I’m not sure what’s so addicting about it, but I really like the show! I’m surprised, too, because I’m usually not a fan of cop dramas. FX does it again! We also found out today that LOST starts on February 2, 2010. The countdown begins! I needed to bake something quickly the other day, and I have had this jam cake recipe in my bookmarks for years, but for some reason, I had never gotten around to making it. Your ingredients. Combine your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Beat together your melted butter, milk, and egg. Beat in the flour and make sure to scrape down the side of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined. Pour the cake into a greased cake pan (if you can line the pan with a circular cut-out of parchment paper, then spray that with Pam, that’s the best way to do it because you can just plop the cake right out of the pan).
Cook time: Salted Chocolate “Twix” Bars. We’re watching our friend’s cat right now, and it’s a lot of fun. Kramer and I want to get a pet so badly, but I just don’t think that I have the time, energy, or, frankly, money, to take care of an animal the way I would like to. For now, though, it’s just fun to pretend to have a pet for a week. His name is Eddie and he’s pretty funny. I’ve never had a cat before, but Kramer grew up with them so he’s more accustomed to their behavior than I am. My dog at home, Tessa, is always so interested in what you’re up to and even sleeps under the covers at the foot of the bed, which I love and miss so much! These bars really do taste like Twix, and I’m not even exaggerating. Your ingredients.
Combine your flour, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cut your cold butter into cubes and add to the flour. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until a course mixture forms. Mix in the water and the egg yolk until combined. Spread the caramel over the baked shortbread crust.
