Triple Chocolate Scones

It was a long week - I decided to make something chocolate for Emily. I made Triple Chocolate Scones (chocolate scones with chocolate chips and Nutella chocolate icing...)

Baklawa Bites

Here is the other Lebanese inspired snacks I made today. This is my version of Lebanese Baklawa - in a bite size format. (These are going to social hour for church.)

Chocolate Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bars

I modified a recipe a smidge to use up leftover Halloween candy and excess sour cream (mistaken for cottage cheese at Costco). It is Chocolate Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bars, and is not recommended for diabetics.

Brigadeiros

I saw the term Brigadeiros on a FaceBook quiz, and had to research them. They are very sweet Brazilian Chocolate Fudge Balls.

Silken Pumpkin Pie

I volunteered to make something for for Wendy's dinner. Dessert seemed like a good choice - it can be round! And I learned that Anne is gluten and dairy intolerant. Hmm, what to make? How about a vegan pumpkin pie?

Peach and Cherry Shortbread Bars

I wanted a dessert for Sunday that would use peaches. I found an interesting recipe at Smitten Kitchen, and made Peach and Cherry Shortbread Bars.

Cherry Hand Pies

I wanted to bake something for Doug and Alex to have at the start of their camping trip to the Grand Tetons. I also had been thinking about last month's BakeAlong at King Arthur, so I made Cherry Hand Pies.

Fresh Peach Ice Cream

We were having Alex and Amanda over, so we decided to make fresh peach ice cream. This is the recipe Doug made.

Chocolate Pecan Caramel Kringle

It's Jennifer's birthday today, so I made my first Kringle. Actually, it's King Arthur's #bakealong version of Kringle, with a Chocolate Pecan Caramel topping. (I made 4, and will take 3 to social hour tomorrow.)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Black Bean Brownies

I wanted a healthy-ish dessert, so I decided to try Chocolate Peanut Butter (Black Bean) Brownies.

Mini Lemon Bundtlettes

I got a new mini bundtlette pan! I had to try it, so I made some Mini Lemon Bundtlettes!

Mom’s Brownies

I'm visiting my mom, so we are baking. Today we are making brownies to go with dinner.

Chocolate Cake with Lemon Buttercream Frosting

Happy Birthday, Doug!

(He asked for chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, and decided that Lemon Buttercream frosting might be tasty...  It was!)

Mini Chocolate Sourdough Muffins

I decided to make some Chocolate Sourdough Muffins - mini of course!



Last night I made up a sponge that I decided this morning to split between these mini muffins and an Overnight Sourdough Bread.
   

Cherry Lattice Pie

Since my mom was visiting, Ben and Brandi were coming to up as well, my mom and I wanted to make a cherry pie since  I decided to try a new recipe and also make a lattice top.

Nectarine Sorbet

We bought nectarines at Costco today. We did not have any half and half, so I decided to try a sorbet recipe.

 

Black Bean Brownies

I felt like baking tonight. After reading a bunch of recipe ideas, I decided I wanted brownies. After reading several brownie recipes, I decided to make my riff on Chocolate Covered Katie's Black Bean Brownies. I've made them a couple of times before, and they are good!

Fresh Strawberry Mini Pie

Alex's favorite pie is fresh strawberries in a chocolate cookie crust. I've made this for years, since I went strawberry picking with Libby years ago. This is a mini pie version suitable for potlucks and parties. (I made it for Ben and Brandi's open house.)

Chocolate Cherry Focaccia

Time for a potluck dessert -- I decided to make another sweet sourdough flatbread. This one is a Chocolate Cherry Focaccia. It uses the about same base dough as my recent Apple Cinnamon Flatbread, but I did not make up the dough the night before.

Coconut Kreme Mini Pies

Ever since I made coconut custard mini pies with Brandi, I have had ideas about how to make a tofu-based version. I tried them out today, and they are great!
