I created this recipe when I was thinking about Valentine’s and creating unique flavours of food. I remembered hearing about using vanilla in a savoury dish many moons ago. I was eager to try it out, but could not find a recipe that would work for me. So I made this chicken dish using ingredients from my pantry, and it was amazing! It was exactly ( Read more... )

These tortillas are a little thicker than store bought ones. They make 6 inch rounds, but I rolled them even thinner than called for to get approximately 8 inch rounds. They roll up best when they are still warm, but not piping hot out of the pan. They are great for roll-ups, or even as a layered casserole. I made a beef roll-up type of dish with ( Read more... )

This ice cream is nice and light, closer to that "store bought" taste, but better. :) I've made vanilla ice cream before, but it started with a custard base which makes for a very rich and heavy ice cream. The custard based ice creams are good when you want something decadent, and in small portions. The ice cream is good at any time ( Read more... )

I got the urge to make doughnuts last night. I don't know what came over me. I've never made them before, but I just had to try. And OMG these were the BEST glazed doughnuts I've ever had. Ever. My husband thinks so too. I'm defintely filing this recipe away.

This is essentially a brownis that you can add different toppings to. I made the Mocha version. As with a regular brownie, nuts would be good in the batter or sprinkled on top of icing. These dry out in a couple of days, so you may want to cut the recipe in half (reduce pan size and cooking time) if you aren't feeding a large group.

This cheesecake is very rich and makes quite a few pieces. I individually wrapped each piece and put them in freezer so we can enjoy them for a couple of weeks.

This has to be our favourite holiday dessert. We make it year round too, but at Christmas time it's a must. If you like desserts like Key Lime Pie or Lemon Meringue Pie, you will love this. The bottom layer is a shortbread-like crust. The middle layer is a creamy, tangy, lemon custard. And the topping is a coconut meringue ( Read more... )

I saw this on my friends page (from the food_porn community - here) and ran off to make it right away. I misread the recipe and used twice the amount of syrup. Whoops! I diluted it to the proper ratio, but I think next time I will use slightly less than what the recipe actually calls for. I did not add any whipped cream, but instead I just topped ( Read more... )
