So here we are again, it´s Daring Baker time, but for this challenge, you´ll only need a handful of ingredients, one of them being patience of course, because this month we are making French bread!
I was very glad when I saw what Sara and Mary had chosen for us this month… though I have to [...]
…well, using lemon of course. Even though this isn´t really the best season for lemon desserts here, I have always been a sucker for lemon meringue pie, so when Jen chose it for our January challenge I was delighted. Yes, the lemons wouldn´t be the most lemony they can be, but it was the first [...]
Oh yeah, here we go again, it´s Daring Bakers time… you are thinking butter and sugar by the pound, right? But no, no, no, never assume we are going to do the same old thing.
This time, we are using no sugar and just a spoonful of butter, which as you know, in Daring Baker terms, [...]
Just when you thought you had seen all there was to be seen in terms of cinnamon rolls, Lis comes to the rescue with a knock-off of the famous Cinnabon rolls.
You know, just in case we needed an extra bit of butter and sugar… and of course I was ready, summer just around the corner [...]
Tarts are definitely one of my favorite dishes. They are just so versatile! And they marry two of my biggest food loves: doughs and veggies, oh and cheese, so that makes 3.
So when I heard this moth´s Waiter, there´s something in my… was going to be about topless tarts, I was good to go, [...]
Some people are a very bad influence on me… like food bloggers leading me to hell in a path of gulletry, and my younger brother, who does just that but in person, which is even more dangerous.
Case in point, his genius idea of making a pizza stuffed (yes, stuffed) with milanesas, which happen to be [...]
In another chapter of voyeuristic blogging, I´m about to show the world… my aprons! But, before you start thinking I have a strong exhibitionist streak, this one is Ilva´s fault, since she was curious about people´s aprons and the story behind them, so she created an event around them.
I have to confess that I rarely [...]
It seems that most of us are constantly struggling against our bodies… for some reason, hips and tighs refuse to support our cooking endeavours properly, those rebelious bastards! But, not to panick, Lisa and Kelly devised a foodie event to help us all called Salad Stravaganza.
Basically, any sort of salad would do, so the possibilities [...]
Being the procrastinator that I am, I am pretty late for this event, but I want to post my contribution anyway because this event isn´t just about cooking something fun… it´s about cancer, and unfortunately, I´ve come to know the disease since I was little. As I mentioned in my previous entry, I lost 2 [...]
I have a shocking confession to make: I don´t like beer. In fact, not only do I not like it, I really can´t stand that bitterness.
But I never throw away things… well, I might ocassionally, but only if there´s no other possible solution. So when friends come over and leave leftover beer behind, I hate throwing it [...]
