The search is over! Crispy waffles.
Posted By holly On Thursday, 29 March 2012When I was little my mother had this ancient waffle iron. It made very thin waffles with tons of holes in them. I’m not sure how she made them, for all I know she used a pre canned mix, it was the 80’s after all! I loved those waffles and now that I’m older I wish I had that waffle iron. It would have needed a lot of help as it only cooked on the bottom and you had to flip them half way through the cooking time when I was a preteen. I don’t think it was ever replaced at my mothers. She doesn’t cook anymore.

Cannoli – Daring Bakers November.
Posted By holly On Monday, 30 November 2009Fee Fie Pho!
Posted By holly On Thursday, 15 October 2009I love Pho. It’s one of my favorite meals. Honestly I could eat it every day and still like it just as much. I think it’s the combination of the warmly spiced broth and the bean sprouts that do it for me. I was away from home for this challenge but it turned out quite well and I think that my brother and sister-in-law enjoyed it.

Mmmmm, I love Indian food. I haven’t had the chance to experience a lot of it as I live in Hill Billy Central (I say that endearingly, I love where I love don’t be sending any hate mail this way!) but what I have been able to experience has be sup

Daring Bakers – Cookies!
Posted By holly On Thursday, 30 July 2009I’m here, I’m here!!! Don’t forget me!!! Ok, so I really fucked up and missed the deadline by about almost 5 days. Whoops is all I can say. I could tell you my excuses (ranging from my children needing a lot of attention to it’s been way to hot here to cook cookies) but I won’t. I missed the deadline my fellow daring bakers… is there any way you can forgive me? I’ll stop rambling now and save that for another post, on to the cookies!
The July Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network.

Daring Bakers – Bakewell Tart!
Posted By holly On Saturday, 27 June 2009The June Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart... er... pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800's in England.
I’d never made a bakewell tart before. I had heard of it from Heston Blumenthal and Jamie Oliver but never made one or really even thought about making one. I’d have to say though it was a great success! I made it for Father’s day dinner and boy did my Father in-law-love it! He was thrilled with it and even continued to finish it off when he came over to help Tim with the garage fir the next two days! I’d make this again although I think I would try different jams. Nothing wrong with homemade strawberry but just to jazz it up a little I might try marmalade or blueberry just for something different. Great challenge!
