Baklava

Why did it take me so long to make this??

It’s really not all that difficult, but it is time-consuming, and phyllo dough requires a gentle touch.

Shall we proceed?

FFwD – Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Nuts

It was so nice to have something relatively quick and easy to throw together this week!

For today’s French Fridays with Dorie I give you Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Nuts. 

And then I take them back, because they’re so good, and so addictive.

Nutty Banana Bread

 
Ah, the perfume of overripe bananas...

TWD - Chockablock Cookies

This week's TWD monster cookie recipe was chosen by Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet, and you can find it on page 86 of Dorie's Baking:  From My Home to Yours.  You know, every now and then I feel like I should just bow out gracefully from the Tuesdays with Dorie gang, citing my lack of regular posting.  I don't think I've done more than 2 recipes per month in ages.  Lots of reasons, lots of excuses, good days, bad days, and so on.  But then I bake something and participate and feel a part of a community and I think okay, I can do this.  I really don't want to quit.

Especially when we get to bake fabulous cookies like these.
