I love to bake bread. I found a barbcue powder at Krogers that makes a really good barbcue bread. My neighbor and I were playing with bread dough and she put chicken bulion powder and a little barbcue powder in the middle and we rolled it up. She likes to play with spices in her bread.-

Found out I baked the tart @ 475º (I misheard Ina ... sorry Ina), well I had to reduce the temp, change pans and as a result, the bottom was burned. It should have been 450º (My oven is off), so, I decided to re-make it so it will turn out properly.
Now ... that little pie was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. -

When we would bake these at the hotel Chef told us to sprinkle the tops of the cookies with granulated sugar. She would allow us to eat imperfect cookies, and cut-off pieces of other baked goods. We soon learned that we grew tired of too many sweets. I was always ready for lunch, although the cafeteria food was pretty bad most of the time. Prep cooks prepared the employee meals and it was rare to enjoy these meals. It was free.

Classic Madeleine
I actually let these go about a minute too long in the oven because I was talking to a friend at the front door! Still, they were delicious and the only downside was that they were a tiny bit darker than I would have liked.-
0 votes
Their appearance is perfect. As long as they are not dry then they're fine. The French culinary school I attended suggested American bakers do not brown their baked goods enough.
A perfect example is the croissant. The majority of supermarkets intentionally underbake them so they will have a longer (softer) shelf life. They taste pasty to me now I understand what a real croissant should taste like. -

I actually enjoyed the slight crunch these had on the surface followed by the wonderful spongy interior. I might actually "overbake" them when I make them again.

Sawdust Pie
A really simple little recipe that is great (Michael swears this is his new favorite pie and he doesn't even like coconut!)
7 egg whites
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/8 tsp. kosher salt
1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk together sugar and egg whites. Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until pie is set and no longer shakes when lightly touched. Allow to cool slightly and serve warm with whipped cream and optional banana or strawberry slices.-

Ooooh my! I can almost hear the street band playing a Tarantella.

The chocolate pudding is ever so much of a better combination with them, than regular chocolate. The fluffy creaminess of the pudding against the sort of rough texture of the doughnut and cinnamon sugar it sensational. But then that is just my take on it.

Naan Bread
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001
Prep Time:20 minInactive Prep Time:1 minCook Time:15 min
Level:
Intermediate
Serves:
4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
1 teaspoon dried active yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed while kneading
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup clarified butter or vegetable oil, plus 1 teaspoon
Directions
In a glass-measuring cup, combine the yeast and sugar. Add the water and stir well. Let rest until foamy, about 5 minutes. Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast mixture and oil into the center. Mix together with your fingers until a smooth dough forms, working in a small amount of additional flour as needed. Knead for 3 minutes.
Oil a small bowl with the remaining butter or oil. Place the dough into the bowl, turning to coat, and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces and gently roll into 6 circles on a lightly floured surface. Bake on a baking stone, or a lightly greased baking sheet, until just golden brown and puffed, about 12 minutes.
Serve immediately. -

I can't remember if I included Mama's Hush Puppy recipe or not. But it's super simple to do. I actually like a variation of one Paula Deen uses for her restaurant as it's a little more "foolproof" than Mama's.
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees F.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the cooking process.
I actually use one of my cookie scoops to scoop the batter so I get nice even sized hush puppies. Paula calls for regular onion but I like to use green onion or finely chopped Vidalia onion for its sweet flavor.

I used to like to bake, though I never thought I was very good at it. I also don’t have a whole lot of time to devote to it. However, after seeing what’s out there, I’ve decided to take it up once again. They’re selling so-so one pound white artisan loaves at Wally-World for $3.50. I know that these things come off the truck frozen; $3.50 for that? They’re nuts!
I decided to dust off the old bread machine. Don’t knock them. At least I know what’s going into the stuff. Besides, I can pump out 5 loaves for under $3.00; electricity included.
I have another incentive, my new neighbors. For them I make hand thrown loaves. They love my breads. I love their “Chickn’ Squeezn’s:” (AKA: fresh eggs). I make them a loaf or two a week. I get a dozen or so fresh eggs; plus whatever's growing in the garden. Life is good. God is great.
God bless.-

This is great! So wise of you Mr. Owl, to share with your neighbors. Fresh eggs are a real blessing. Your bread machine is a good machine to have. Glad you are baking again!

Sounds wonderful! Wish I had neighbors with chickens to trade with! Good eggs are one of my biggest expenses in baking here in the city. Well, at least I can trade sweets for dog grooming services.

See Buck, She only wants to use us for a week, and then she'd toss us out into the cow pastures with those animals who make such good Wisconsin cheeses. I say we can bake her something and FEXEX it to her reverse charges. She won't be able to resist the aromas seeking through the cracks in the shipping containers. Ha! We won't have to leave home to fatten her up!

@Urbanideas Well, there's always a possibility of being in your neck of the woods. Michael's originally from Two Rivers (near Green Bay) and there's still family up there. We keep saying we're going to do a WI trip but haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe we could do a tasting by the shores of Lake Michigan. :)

Anyone has a GREAT recipe for Key Lime Pie? Sugarpies... You HVAE to have one, even though I went to your site searched and found nothing... Am 7 days away from going to Portugal and my Mother begged me for me to make her one as good as a restaurant in NC we used to go often when I lived there. I am SURE you are the MAN for such request!

Honestly, Key Lime Pie was never one of my favorites. I'm a lemon person. BUT... I do have a recipe for you.
Lime FIlling
4 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 cup Key lime juice (3-4 key limes)
4 egg yolks
14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
Crust
11 graham crackers, processed to fire crumbs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter
Whipped Cream Topping
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 lime, sliced thin and dipped in sugar
Directions
1. Whisk zest and yolks in medium bowl until tinted light green (aprox. 2 minutes). Beat in milk, then juice. Set aside at room temperature to thicken.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix crumbs and sugar. Add butter, stir with fork until blended. Press into pie pan. Bake 15 minutes, until lightly brown and fragrant. Cool to room temperature, aprox 20 minutes.
3. Pour filling into crust, bake 15-17 minutes, until center is set but wiggly. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate for 3 hours.
That's it. Key Lime Pie like good Lemon Meringue is really very simple. The biggest difference is that with Key Lime Pie you don't have to cook the filling to thicken it and form the custard or "curd". This recipe is about as classic as it comes. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE HEAVY CREAM! Don't sub condensed milk because it will cause an odd flavor in the pie. You can use regular limes but the actual Key Limes (the little tiny ones) are best for their flavor. -

Yeah, I'll be making this one just to see. It's one of my all-time favorites but the filling has to be right. I'm trusting you Buck!

Orange Dream Cookies
This is a recipe I threw together yesterday afternoon. I kept contemplating those delicious sounding Chocolate Chip Cookies from Tammygirl but didn't have quite everything I needed for them at hand. So, I pulled out some of this and some of that and came up with these.
These have a great orange flavor and scent. The interior of the cookie is almost cake like and releases the most wonderful scent of orange when you bite into them. I used milk chocolate because it's what I had on hand but I think using the Orange infused chocolate from Lindt would be heavenly!

FINALLY came up with a recipe for the Key lime pie that is as close I can make it to the one I fell in love with at the restaurant downtown Waxhaw, NC. Cannot believe me.... the non-baker actually made 3 pies in 2 days.... Have to take photos of it, wait to hear what my hubby says when he tries it as he HAD had the one from the restaurant and loves in general a good Key lime pie, then will also share the recipe. Am excited as I want so bad to make this for my Mother when we are back home. And SugarPies... THANK YOU for your help.

I'd love to do one that had photos and other "extras" but self-publishing creates cost concerns. By the time you get enough recipes to make it a decent book the cost of each copy is far too high to make it viable. So the only real option is doing a more "old-fashioned" text only version.

Yesterday, I heated a skillet with Pam Olive-Oil flavored spray. I added salt, pepper and a lot of fresh Rosemary. I got the skillet nice and hot, then I put in two beautiful bone-in chicken breasts from Whole Foods, face down. I seared them quickly, seasoned the bottoms and turned them over for a minute or two, then I added a small amount of water to the pan, just a couple of tablespoons or so, and moved the pan to the oven, which was on 425, and cooked it for ten minutes. Then I turned the oven down to 350 and cooked it for about another 30 minutes. I removed the Rosemary and made gravy from the drippings. It was delicious, and the leftovers went for chicken salad which I had for lunch. It was tasty in both incarnations!

Tonight feels like a perfect evening to bake. It has cooled down to a good temperature and although I'm praying the power stays on, with Irene coming up the coast, it'll be nice to have a quiche and pie on hand so we need only slice a piece to enjoy.
Some veggies are a good idea and sauce in the crock-pot. Better to think ahead instead of looking at cold food which must be brought up to temperature for safety reasons.

I have a smallish CuisineArt food processor and it is more trouble than it is worth. I need to get the seven cup size in order to grind the ingredients properly and not in stages. I can give away the small one to my neighbor if she can use it.

Had a CuisineArt and the noise drove me out of the kitchen. I now have a Wolfgang Puck Food Processor and surpasses CuisineArt by far! Quieter, drawer beneath unit to store everything and is compact. And it only took me 60 years of baking to find the right one - LOL.
