Sweet Chocolate Filled Raspberry Meringue Kisses

Thursday, January 27, 2011

I was recently asked by a blogging sister, Dee Dee, to do a guest post for her Blogger’s Recipe Roundup. I was thrilled to be a part of it, and I decided right away that I wanted to do something geared towards Valentine’s Day, since it’s right around the corner, but I wanted it to ...

Spiced Eclairs with Cinnamon Cream and Chocolate Glaze

Friday, January 21, 2011

Often, I talk about how easy things are. I’m sure that sometimes you might doubt me, and I honestly don’t blame you…baking can be daunting. I’m always honest, though. Everything I put on Bakingdom is either already easy to make, or can be made even easier (and I try to include the steps to do ...

Deep Dish Three Cheese Pesto Pizza

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

The hubster makes the best pizza. Every Saturday is Pizza Night in our house, and I’m never the pizza maker. Sometimes we’ll have nice, easy hand-tossed pizzas, sometimes calzones, but one of my favorites is when we have deep dish pizza. I love all that bread…no matter how unhealthy it is! Several weeks ago, we ...

Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brookies

Monday, January 17, 2011

Alright, well, I’ve never made brookies before. Brookies…you know, half classic chocolate chip cookie, half decadent fudge brownie. I’ve made chocolate chip cookies (love), and I’ve made lots (and lots) of delicious brownies (double love), but I’ve never combined the two into this inspired dessert. Until now. I didn’t stop at plain brookies, though, I ...

Easy Homemade Popovers

Friday, January 14, 2011

These are easily the easiest completely scratch recipe I’ve ever made. I’ve never made popovers before, but the hubster began a recent obsession with them. I’m not sure why…he just really wanted to make some. Bad. So, we bought a popover pan (you can use a muffin pan if you don’t have a popover pan), ...

Chocolate Malt Ice Cream

Monday, January 10, 2011

Seriously, I don’t know why I don’t make homemade ice cream more often. It’s so incredibly easy and always wonderful, yet I make it maybe three or four times a year. I even have two fantastic ice cream cookbooks: Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book and The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. ...
