Simple White Cake Recipe. NY Style Crumb Cake. Yesterday was Martha Monday and I’m a wee bit late with this post. But this awesome recipe will make up for me being tarty. Brette from Martha and Me picked this weeks choice, and a fine choice indeed! She picked Martha Stewart’s New York Style Crumb Cake that is in the March issue of Living Magazine This is such an easy coffeecake to make and the reviews were incredible.
My friend Donna said “This is the best coffee cake I have ever eaten. I wanted to bake the cake fresh in the morning, so I made the batter the night before. Then I put all the ingredients for the crumb topping, minus the butter, in a ziplock baggy. In the morning, all I had to do was pull out my cake, and spread a layer of jam on it. Martha suggested Blueberry, but I used my homemade Vanilla Pear Jam. Then I added my melted butter to the crumble mix, and sprinkled it on. There is a lot of crumble, hence the name Crumble Cake. It’s such an impressive coffeecake and really, it couldn’t be easier.

I love eating pie, I love making pie, I love nearly all vartities of pie! The only problem with pie is that the crust always seems to get soggy before we can eat it all — there are just 2 of us you know. So today — as I was contemplating whether or not I should make a pie (and knowing that my husband would definitly want me to make a pie) — I decided to try something new… … mini pies!
I figured that if I made mini pies, I could make as many as we needed and I could customize the filling so everyone got their favorite pie. Not sure why I didn’t think of this sooner? Anyway, mini pies are extremely easy and take less than 20 minutes to bake (half that of most full pies) Ingredients: Pie Crust Dough — I used store bought refrigerated crust but feel free to use homemadeFilling — choose your favorite pie fillings and make mini batches of each one (or use canned filling) Directions: Use a biscuit cutter to create mini pie crusts — cut as many or as few as you want What is your favorite pie?

My I-thought-I-had-an-original-idea ice cream cone cupcake pan. Don’t you hate it when you get all your ice cream cones filled with batter only to have them tip over and spill in the pan when you try to put them in the oven?
I decided to make a pan prototype to bake my cones in to stop the spills and mess! Yup, I made a prototype. And I was going to mass-produce it and sell it on HSN and become a billionaire, er, or at least a thousand-aire. But my dreams were crushed when I realized someone else already designed one. And it was better than mine. And they already mass-produce them. So much for my big break. BUT considering I wasted so much time making my pan, I’m going to show you it anyway. I bought this cheap tin pan from the 99 cent store. I took a sharpie and measured out a 3 x 4 square grid. Once my circles were cut out I just flipped it over and put it on a cookie sheet. Brilliant, right? And just for fun I took a picture of what it looks like from the underside. So there you have it.

Peanut Butter- S’Mores Turnovers I’m not much of a camper. My husband often takes my son on camping trips, and I happily stay behind and thank the gods for our bug-free house, cozy bed and well-stocked kitchen. I always send them off in comfort… marinate a little meat for them to throw on the grill, pack up some convenience foods and bake a few goodies too. When they return from their camping weekends, I hear mostly about the evenings sitting around the campfire. Story telling, snuggling in blankets, singing songs and roasting marshmallows for S’Mores seem to be recurring favorites.
It all sounds great and everything, but it’s just not for me. Here’s the How To: Thaw out a box of Puff Pastry, and cut along the fold lines to make 6 large rectangles. Layer 1/4 of a whole graham cracker, a piece of milk chocolate bar and a spoonful of peanut butter on one side of the Puff Pastry.

Creamy Homemade Peppermint Patties. My mother loves Peppermint Patties. My dad used to buy them for her every year and put them in her Christmas stocking. Big bags. Lots and lots of Peppermint Patties. For all I know, she has a stash of them somewhere, in a secret bunker hidden in that big house they have now. She may have had to have dad haul them all up here under the guise of night in his dump truck when they moved… really. But I doubt it. Because like I said, she loves Peppermint Patties. I succeeded. These creamy disks of chocolate and peppermint are the epitome of holiday goodness. Give them a shot!

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! Eddie, though, is very much his own man. 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.

Ok, easy easy. Take a little fork and crimp those edges, nice and firm. Next, you’ll brush with an egg white wash and sprinkle with sugar, mmmmm! Get a load of this!

Other recipes you may enjoy... Fudgey Brownie Cupcakes. As I stood over the stove this past weekend stirring a pot of creamy baked potato soup, I pondered brownies. I was craving them. There are chocolate cravings, and then there are chocolate cravings. You know the ones… so intense that the only cure is a dense brownie that hurts your teeth or a slice of cheesecake so rich that it takes 30 full minutes to eat.
That’s what my Saturday night was about. It was so wild. Wait until you hear about Sunday! And I knew I couldn’t go wrong with this recipe when I’d have so many utensils to lick. Do you know what these brownies don’t lack? Sugar. Two whole cups of sugar, that is. And they have a crackled, crunchy top. But don’t let that fool you. I know there are people out there who find some desserts to be too rich, and well, I must say that I… have no idea what you’re talking about. But in case that happens with these brownies, top them with some fluffy white frosting to cut the sweetness.
