Beautiful Brunch Table
Celebrations at Home Inspiration for Stylish Entertaining Beautiful Brunch Table April 25, 2011 by Chris 48 Comments I love a brunch party almost as much as I love a cocktail party, and this brunch table styled by Trish of Frilly Milly Events, for a recent baby shower, is so appetizing and pretty to look at.
Apple Pie with Brown Sugar Streusel Topping
I was talking with my brother about what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday (which was a while ago now), and he came to the conclusion that he wanted pie. An apple pie. I've never made an apple pie before but of course I was up for the challenge, and a bit worried that my apple pie would not be awesome. Actually for the 2 days before I made the pie, I kept trying to lower his expectations of it so he would be happy with it no matter what. But as I smelled it baking, I broke and said okay that smells really amazing.
Soft Ginger Cookies {filled with cream cheese frosting} - StumbleUpon
I have to say ginger cookies are were not one of my favorite cookies in the past until… my friend Maria introduced me to her delicious recipe. These are flavorful, soft and chewy cookies rolled in large crystal sugar and then to kick them up a notch, cream cheese frosting smothered in between them. These are the perfect cookies for gift giving during the holidays because of the warm spices. The recipe for these cookies is versatile, whole wheat flour can be substituted for half the flour still giving a wonderful texture and flavor to them. I also like to use flax meal in my baked goods to cut down on cholesterol, add healthy omega fats and fiber, if your like me then this would be a great recipe to tweak to your liking. Enjoy making, eating and or giving these delicious cookies to your family and friends.
Out of the Campfire, into the Oven: Smores Pie
There is just something about a s’more that brings out the kid in me. The toasted marshmallow, the melted chocolate, the crunch of the graham cracker. You put them together and it’s bliss. We love them so much, we eat them year round, we’ve even grilled marshmallows in our wood burning fireplace, over our gas stove, and made them in the microwave in a pinch.

Killer Peanut Butter Mousse Brownie Pie
I can think of worse ways to die... We’re eating a chilled “pie” made of layers of fudgy coffee brownies, rich airy peanut butter mousse, crumbled Reese’s peanut butter cups and finished with a drizzle of ganache. It’s a well-known fact that sweets are not really my cuppa beer. (I don’t really do “joe” either!) That being said, T-dog loves him some sweets so from time to time I give in and make him something decadent. This summer he’s been gobbling up cones of chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream from a local shop after we’ve had a hard day of boogie boarding and generally enjoying ourselves at the beach.
Coconut Butter Recipe - 3 Steps to Bliss
Forgive me, internet, for I have sinned. Today I was going to talk about the merits of making your own dishwasher detergent. Instead, I did that. That up there. That stuff that looks like homemade coconut butter. And it was pure, unadulterated, sinful bliss.
Apple Pies & Jo In the Kitchen
I know, I’ve made a few pies lately. But see how these are different? Look at how adorable these are! I mean, come on.
lollies - a little ART CANT HURT
a perfect rainy day thing to do! the colors make any day better! how to make LOLLIESyou will need: jolly ranchers, candy sticks, parchment paper, foil & a cookie sheet 1) lay a piece of foil on cookie sheet. cover foil with a piece of parchment paper.2) unwrap candies and place side by side on parchment paper in your choice of color & flavor combinations. use three candies together for extra large lollies, and only two candies together for regular lollies.3) heat candies in oven for about 5 minutes at 200 degrees. keep a close eye on the candies and take them out as soon as they've barely melted together. if you leave them in too long they will melt too much and you won't be able to put a stick into the lollie. alter the cook time accordingly.4) carefully take cookie sheet out of oven. immediately lay candy sticks into place on melted candies. slowly twirl in melted candy to coat the stick and so it will hold in the lollie. they're hot!
