Valentine’s Day brownie mini-cupcakes
(Jan. 18, 2013) Around 9am, Nico decided he wanted to bake something, so he ended up picking a box of brownie mix we had gotten at the Dollar Tree on one of our US shopping trips. I had what was needed on the box, so we went for it. I don’t have a square pan so I thought lets do mini-muffins and since I’m not a fan of cleaning those muffin tins (neither is Alex, … Read entire article »

Spritzgebaeck (German cookies)
Since my parents were coming from Germany to spend Christmas with us, we figured that we would also go for some good old German cookies, among them my childhood favourites of Spritzgebaeck. The recipe is easy, even with an impatient toddler helping left and right and does not take too much time either. It all started with whipping the butter into a fluffy consistency and then slowly adding the other ingredients… into a dough that is not … Read entire article »

Christmas Crescent Cookies
A few years ago we saw a recipe on the Pillsbury website for a really simple cookie recipe made out of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. We made them for the first time at Nico’s first Christmas, but we wanted him to help us with them and so far he had not been old enough to do so. Now of course can’t find the recipe anywhere anymore, so we figured to go by memory and other than … Read entire article »

No bake mini “cheesecakes”
(Oct. 17, 2012) Since I had Nico, I rarely make anything but muffins, I was going through a french magazine the other day and I came across this recipe. Now I don’t like cheese cake, but Alex loves them. He doesn’t buy them since he’s the only one eating them and it’s too expensive to waste. I hear it’s a lot of work to make them too, so when I saw this quick, no-bake, easy recipe, … Read entire article »

Boo-ffins & Muff-kins!
This morning I made french vanilla muffins with Nico, my mix was about to expire so I had to use it. Nico doesn’t like icing and is iffy on anything but chocolate flavor, but if add chocolate chips he’ll eat it. I measured and he poured everything, while mixing with Nico I thought about the season, Halloween and that I hadn’t made much for it. The white mix inspired me to make little ghost faces, we … Read entire article »

Australia – Lamingtons
If you’re familiar with our “Around the World in 12 Dishes” series, then you’ve probably noticed that we have a bunch of sweetteeth in our family and more than once we actually had the dessert recipe picked out way before figuring out the main dish, go figure… For Australia it was the same deal, when we researched I stumbled over a website called AllDownUnder.com and a couple of typically Australian recipes, one of which was … Read entire article »

Russia – Individual Apple Sharlotka
Apple Sharlotka So after having Alex’ Russian apple sharlotka for our Russian meal for “Around the World in 12 Dishes” I was thinking, “that was good, we should redo it”, but differently. I like how the whole cake looks but once you cut it, you loose the look. So I figured we could do the same but in individual portions! A week after the first one, I got our jumbo muffin tin out buttered it up (I … Read entire article »
