Okay, so today I’m diving into some New England desserts. I’ve been meaning to try these for ages, and I finally got around to it. Let’s see how it went! First Up: Boston Cream Pie (More Like Cake!) Alright, first off, Boston Cream Pie. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s totally a cake. I started by making the cake layers. Mixed the usual suspects...

Alright, let me tell you about this thing I tried the other day – making cookies, well, more like a candy-cookie hybrid, using plain old soda crackers. Sounds weird, right? That’s what I thought too, but I saw someone mention it and figured, why not give it a whirl? Seemed easy enough, and I had a sleeve of crackers going stale anyway. Getting Started First...

My Attempt at Cultured Cream Dessert Alright, so I figured I’d give this cultured cream dessert a shot the other day. Heard about it, sounded interesting enough, kinda like homemade crème fraîche or something fancy, but maybe easier? Anyway, decided to just jump in and see what happened. First step was getting the stuff together. Didn’t need much, really. Heavy cream: Grabbed a carton of...

Alright folks, let me tell you about my adventure with a silicone pie pan. I saw one at the store the other day, super cheap, and thought, “Why not?”. I always have trouble getting my pies out of the metal pans, so I figured silicone might be the answer. First thing I did was grab my usual pie crust recipe. You know, the one with...

So, I was digging around in my pantry the other day. You know how it goes, searching for something specific, but then you find something else entirely. Tucked way in the back, I spotted this jar of apricot jam I’d totally forgotten about. Looked like it was still good, and it felt like a waste to just leave it there. I thought, “Okay, what can...

Alright folks, gather ’round! Let me tell you about my adventure tackling an extra-large pie pan. It all started innocently enough – a craving for pie, a serious, oversized, share-with-the-whole-block kind of pie. First things first, I had to find the right pan. Forget your standard nine-inch deals; I’m talking a behemoth. After a bit of hunting online, I scored a proper extra-large pie pan....

Alright, so I got this idea to make some whole wheat peanut butter crackers the other day. Been wanting something crunchy and kinda healthy-ish to snack on, you know? Decided to just dive in and see what happened. Getting Started & Mixing First thing, I pulled out the stuff I thought I’d need. It wasn’t much: Whole wheat flour – had a bag sitting in...

My Adventure with the Extra Large Pie Pan Alright, let’s talk about this extra large pie pan I got. It wasn’t exactly planned, you know? I saw it tucked away on a shelf at that kitchen supply place I sometimes wander into. Thing was massive. Seriously, looked like it could feed a small army. My first thought was, “When would I ever actually use this?”...

Okay, here’s my take on a blog post about cookie decorating piping bags, based on your instructions. Let’s do this! My Cookie Decorating Piping Bag Adventure! Alright, so, I decided to get fancy and try some real cookie decorating. I’ve seen all those perfect cookies online and thought, “Hey, I can totally do that!” Famous last words, right? But you gotta start somewhere! It’s always...

So, I decided I needed some large spatulas. You know how it is, flipping big pancakes or a piece of fish, and the darn thing just breaks apart with a regular small spatula? Yeah, happened to me all the time. Got pretty annoying, honestly. I was browsing online, just looking around, and saw these really big ones. Like, seriously oversized. Looked kinda professional, but also...
