The cherry season has been nice and long and they are still plentiful and cheap which is good because I recently came across the idea of using them to make roast cherry brownies on Foodie Bride which I just had to try!
I always enjoy roasting things because it tends to concentrate and strengthen their flavour and I really liked the sound of hitting the little nuggets of concentrated cherry flavour deep under the surface of chocolate brownies! Not only are the cherries for the brownies roasted but they are tossed in and roasted in port; how decadent! Once the cherries are roasted you just need to mix them into the brownie batter and bake them as you normally would. Speaking of the brownie batter, I went with a really easy, made from scratch recipe that uses melted dark chocolate for the chocolate flavour. Chocolate and cherries are a match made in heaven and these irresistible roasted cherry dark chocolate brownies show you just why! Roast Cherry Dark Chocolate Brownie Sundaes Ingredients. Galaktoboureko (γαλακτομπούρεκο) Can you believe I’m still tidying up after Easter Sunday? From all accounts, it was a pain in the ass but all was off-setted by the greattime my family and friends had for the whole day.
The day was capped off by my mom’s Galaktoboureko…uncracked from the cherished tome of her recipes. Galaktoboureko is as popular (if not more) than a Greek baklava. Essentially, it’s a dessert of custard made from semolina flour and a crispy phyllo shell and soaked in a lemon syrup. For those of you who might be having nightmares thinking I’m going to go through the whole phyllo-making process, relax!
As long as you allow the phyllo to defrost properly in the fridge overnight, ensure it’s bought from a store that sells fresh phyllo (high turn over) and you’ve ensured the phyllo stays moist and you’ve brushed melted butter on each sheet…you’ll do just fine! Galaktoboureko (γαλακτομπούρεκο) Syrup2 cups of sugar 1 cup of water juice & zest of 1/2 lemon © 2008 – 2015, Peter Minakis. Strawberry Greek Yogurt Banana Bread. During the summer I tend to make a lot of quick breads and that is because there are so many fruits and vegetables that are available that make really good quick breads.
One of my favourite summer quick breads has to be the strawberry sour cream bread which I tend to make pretty much every year! This year I was thinking that I might try lightening the recipe up a bit and the first step was to use some Greek yogurt, which is now everywhere in the grocery stores, instead of the sour cream. Next up was to try to reduce or eliminate the butter or oil and that was done by adding three over ripe bananas in addition to the yogurt to keep things nice and moist. Another great way to make quick breads a bit healthier is to use some whole wheat flour in place of regular flour and I normally replace about half of the flour with the whole wheat flour.
It goes great with melted butter for breakfast! Strawberry Greek Yogurt Banana Bread Servings: makes 1 loaf Printable Recipe Ingredients Directions. Pumpkin Pie with Gingersnap Crust. When I think of Halloween the first thing that I think about is pumpkins and when I think about pumpkins the first thing that comes to mind is pumpkin pie. A pumpkin pie is pretty simple; at its base it is pumpkin puree along with some eggs to bind it and help it set, some sugar to sweeten it and of course the pumpkin pie spice blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
From there you can play around with the recipe to make it your own. In my case I added some cream to make give it a nice creamy texture and I could not resist adding a hint of maple. For a crust you could go with a pastry crust or a graham cracker crumb crust but I have been enjoying gingersnap cookies lately and I thought that they would make for a perfect crust for a pumpkin pie.

This weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving and that means that it is time to make something special for breakfast and I knew just what I wanted to make. I have been wanting to try the cinnamon swirl pancakes from Recipe Girl ever since I saw them and Thanksgiving seemed like the perfect time to try the pumpkin pie version!
I mean you really cannot go wrong combining two amazing things like pancakes and cinnamon rolls and throw in a third, pumpkin pie, and you have something that is sure to have every one coming back for seconds or even thirds! (The recipe easily doubles or triples!) I know that Thanksgiving weekend, let alone Thanksgiving day, can be quite busy but these pumpkin pie cinnamon roll pancakes are as easy to make as making normal pancakes, and I used my favourite pumpkin pie pancake recipe, and swirling a mixture of cinnamon, butter and sugar onto the top of the pancake after pouring the batter into the pan. Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting. Apple mosaic tart with salted caramel. My husband likes to joke that every other comment on this site in the month of October is, “Help! I went apple picking and I brought home 20 pounds of apples and I don’t know how to use them up!” It’s not true, of course; it’s every five or six comments.
We mostly have a giggle about it because we didn’t know how one could go to an apple grove and not realize that 20 pounds of apples is an impossible amount to munch your way through, no matter how enthusiastic of an apple-eater you might be. Furthermore, seeing as quite often, only one apple type is ripe at a time, you’re not likely even bringing a mix home that might sustain your interest from apple to apple, ad inifinitum. So, you know where this is going. I am kidding, mostly. Are you taking submissions for your new favorite dead simple fall dessert? The result is a mosaic of fall apple bliss. Apple Mosaic Tart with Salted Caramel Puffed pastry is a wonderful thing to keep around in your freezer. Heat your oven to 400°F. Cinnamon toast french toast + cookbook preview. Guys, I wrote a cookbook. When I was 32 weeks pregnant in the summer of 2009 (in fact, this was overflowing on my kitchen counter during my first meeting across town) and should have been doing normal third trimester things like eating jars of Peanutella by the spoonful and repainting the baseboard trim (which still looks awful, not that this will surprise you), I instead decided that I really wanted to write a cookbook.
Because new mothers are swimming in free time (“new babies are always sleeping!”) , I thought I would finish the book in six months; nine, tops. Stop laughing. Quit it. Two and three-quarter years later, the “baby” is 2 1/2, I am the proud owner of 2 1/2 gray hairs and, oh, right: The book is done. First, this above? The book has a back cover too. There’s so much more. And as of today, the book is officially available for preorder from just about every online seller: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indiebound | Powell’sOther U.S. Meyer Lemon Doughnuts | Flour Child. I know that I’ve professed my love for Whole Foods here before, but really, once is not enough. I make an event out of my trips to Whole Foods. Sometimes I get dressed up. I usually wear lipstick. I may or may not have a crush on the produce department but nobody needs to know that. I’m talking about Whole Foods today because last week, in the citrus section, I finally found my first bag of Meyer Lemons.
According to my taste buds, lemon curd is king of the dessert kingdom. Bless you, Meyer Lemons. Meyer Lemon Doughnuts Adapted from Gourmet, December 1999 & December 2006 **If you can’t find Meyer lemons, regular lemons would do just fine. For the lemon curd: 1/2 cup Meyer lemon juice 2 teaspoons Meyer lemon zest 1/2 cup sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces Small pinch of kosher salt Place the zest, juice, sugar, salt, and eggs in a metal bowl.
For the doughnuts: Stir together yeast and warm water in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Life’s short. Jordana. Mixed Berry Tarts with Lemony Filling. User reviews made it? RATE IT! By lr_marie, 5/3/2013Great recipe - the lemon filling is especially good and I didn't find the shortbread base to be too difficult.
I didn't have pie weights and was too lazy to use beans :) Next time through I'll make sure I follow the instructions - my shortbread base did rise too much in the center without something to weigh it down. My only complaint - I haven't ever tried to whip heavy cream and I had to do some internet research when mine wouldn't thicken. I wish the recipe had a bit more instruction. I added a big pinch of sugar and it thickened right up into soft peaks. Yummy - will definitely make this again! By allisonfaye, 6/10/2012This was the first tart recipe I ever made. By Macaroni, 8/23/2009I didn't have enough tartlet pans so I used a 9-in tart pan with removeable bottom and followed the crust baking directions from the pie (from same article).
By Jason123, 3/27/2009These are very delicious and pretty to serve. Meyer Lemon Bars. Not to long ago I got the chance to use key limes for the first time and I used them to make a key lime pie. This weekend I stumbled across meyer lemons for the first time and I grabbed some right away. I had been hearing about meyer lemons for a long time and I had been wanting to try them. A meyer lemon is a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange which sounded like a great combination.
I really like using lemons in desserts and one of my favorites is the simple lemon bar. A lemon bar is a bar with a shortbread crust and a layer of lemon custard topped with icing sugar. I was thinking that meyer lemon bars be would be the perfect place to start enjoying my meyer lemons. Get 5 Closet Cooking cookbooks in a bundle for a 30% discount over buying them individually.

Creamy Lemon Fudge. Fudge. Real, homemade, use a candy thermometer fudge. I finally did it! Usually I end up cheating and let the ingredients make the fudge (otherwise known as easy fudge), but this time, I finally conquered the technique.
Looks like I checked one off of my bucket list for 2013 already. What’s on your culinary bucket list? Today, the #SundaySupper team is posting recipes that we’ve been wanting to do but never did, no matter if it was fear, time, or resources stopping us. Fudge has always been a huge enemy of mine. I was so nervous in making lemon fudge. I toyed with the idea of making rocky road fudge because it is my mom’s favorite, but with the dreary weather and chilly days ahead, I wanted to brighten it up a bit with some citrus (too bad I couldn’t lighten it up too).
Because candy making is very precise, I suggest leaving the Creamy Lemon Fudge recipe as is and buying lemon extract. Creamy Lemon Fudge Author: Carla Cardello (www.chocolatemoosey.com) Serves: 16 squares Ingredients. Banana Cream Pie Recipe. Thick, chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. I woke up Sunday morning craving oatmeal raisin cookies something fierce, so I tried to make myself eat oatmeal with raisins and brown sugar in it for breakfast but that didn’t work, and so there was nothing left to do but to bake cookies. My life is so hard, innit? I have very specific tastes in oatmeal raisin cookies. A crisp edge is always welcome, but the rest of it must be thick and chewy. Just to confuse, this is unlike other oatmeal cookie recipes on this site, the crunchier chocolate chip pecan version and the thick but shattery, salty white chocolate version. I start with the standard recipe on every can of Quaker oats and then start making it better.
And then I try not to eat them for breakfast. Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies The last trick to getting a really thick, chewy cookie is to chill the dough before you bake it.
