Today we have another installment in my 2-for-1 peanut butter recipe saga. For someone who´s just starting to cook with peanut butter, I´m certainly making up for the lost time lately.
But it couldn´t be helped. You see, I checked the peanut butter jar I had bought a few months ago, and its best by date [...]
To keep the birthday theme going for yet another post, this month Daring Baker challenge chosen by Morven was Dorie Greenspan´s Perfect Party Cake, which made the perfect choice for one of my birthday cakes.
Yet even though it turned out delicious, it was one of those near disaster stories. As wise people know, it´s not… [...]
So the birthday parties were a blast, but did leave this birthday girl a bit exhausted (I guess I am getting old!). Luckily, my gym gave me a free massage for my bday, so I´m all better now, and ready for a quick recap of the menus.
On Friday, I made a simple meal that didn´t [...]
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 [...]
It´s not that I´m feeling uninspired in general at all. Daydreaming about new apartments and my trip has been my favorite pass-time lately. But it might be that food and I are trying to find some middle ground (like still loving each other but going easy on sweets and stuff like that,) and when that [...]
…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 [...]
If there´s one thing the holidays leave behind, besides enlarged bodies and resolutions no one is going to stick to, is leftovers.
And unless you freeze them, you end up getting tired of eating the same old thing for days. Which is why I try to at least use the same old thing to create something [...]
Phew! That was close! I´m barely managing to get my Yule log (also known as Buche de Noel in French and Brazo Gitano in Spanish) done in time for posting… in fact, at this point, I haven´t even tried it, I just know it looks pretty, I´ll tell you if it tastes good later tonight.
I´m [...]
Oh yeah, I have been caught amidst the craze that is Christmas and the approach of the new year as well. But the good news is that I´ve been receiving plenty of work lately, which being a freelancer means more money for my pockets and for the trip I´m making to the US in April [...]
Do you guys remember Strawberry Shortcake? Well, she was Frutillitas in Argentina, which would be something like Fresita in most of the Spanish-speaking world (Frutilla meaning strawberry, the shortcake part was eliminated, because, believe it or not, there´s no tradition of eating something like strawberry shortcakes here.)
Yes, I do know that´s terrible, but what can [...]
