I will make this quiche if it kills me
So it's a sunday, which means I have to bake something or be disappointed with myself. I settled on quiche at like 10:30 this morning, but was then PLAGUED by mistakes of my own making (aka, not having the right ingredients). Still, this quiche came out pretty effing good ( Read more... ) -
Cake Batter of the Buttery Gods
For narie, who is craving cake :)
This is the batter I used to make red velvet cupcakes for a going away party at work last week. They got rave reviews.
Make sure that whenever you make a cake, all your ingredients are room temperature.

Sunday Morning Strawberry Shortcake
So, I feel like strawberry shortcake gets a bad rap sometimes. When most people think of strawberry shortcake, they're thinking of spongy, overly-sweet cakes with strawberries and cool whip. Or at least this is my experience with other people's strawberry shortcake ( Read more... ) -
A day or 5 late...
The recipe for the best frosting you will ever eat. I recommend putting it on devil's food cupcakes filled with ganache. To quote my coworker Kirsten, "Those cupcakes were sinful. SinfulThis is a rather time consuming recipe, but OMG so worth it. I promise. It's also a very fluffy, whipped frosting, so the consistency is very light and melt-in ( Read more... ) -
Holiday Bakebition
Aka, when I get too ambitious with cookies. I tried turning two different icebox cookie doughs into drop cookies, one which turned out fantastically, and the other which would not cooperate - wayyyyyy too dry (I think my butter melted on me). Anyway, here's the kind that worked out well. Base "vanilla icebox cookie" recipe taken from the ever ( Read more... ) -
Since you've all been waiting with bated breath
Ok, so I made a REALLY big batch of this recipe because I was taking it to a party, so I've halved the amounts here. Feel free to scale up down or sideways. And I know it looks a hodgepodge of ingredients, but seriously it's good.

No coast like no coast
So apparently, "white" chili exists only in the midwest? I dunno. I've only ever had it at my grandma's house, and she was raised in Wichita, KS. Anyway, whenever I mention how delicious it is to anyone who wasn't raised in the great plains, they just give me blank stares. Either way, IT'S TOTALLY DELICIOUS AND YOU SHOULD EAT IT.

It's Banana Bread, bitch
Dude, so, I made the most badass banana bread last night you don't even know. Like, this banana bread would go medieval on any banana bread that tried to step to it. It's my dad's recipe (that I think he cut out of a news paper) but I doctored it a bit to have more banana and less actual sugar because, well, that's yummier.

The best coleslaw ever
So, I realize, there are many differing opinions on the Brassica family. Most of them lean to the "all of these vegetables are fucking disgusting and why are you eating them?" Brassicas include broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cabbage ( Read more... )
