Sweet Treats: Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cheesecake

February 5, 2010 – 5:24 pm | by admin

4e23b69e08secake 150x100 Sweet Treats: Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cheesecake

If you are anything like me, this is the perfect dessert for this time of year. It’s the first week of February and every time I step outside I shiver with delight at the winter wonderland of sparkling snow and am thrilled anew by my frosty puffs of breath as I sit in my car in my pjs waiting for my children. All the holiday bills were paid before the first toy broke and I am five pounds below my goal weight. OK this is actually the perfect dessert to snarf after waking up from that dream. And what a dream it is. Because February is just the worst: it’s cold, I’m crabby, I’m fat and I’m broke (and fat) and as a bonus, the kids get the last week of the month off. Yaaaay! So seriously, if you are anything like me, this is the perfect dessert. Put on your yoga pants, grab a fork and turn on Bravo. Spring will be here in just 3 months. Julie’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cheesecake adapted from The Whimsical Bakehouse by Kaye Hanson and Liv Hanson because I’m not crazy…

Sweet Treats Double Chocolate Tart

December 18, 2009 – 3:08 am | by admin

11292751f1nnesig 150x75 Sweet Treats Double Chocolate Tart

A dessert that is simple and elegant. Not to mention easy. And it can be completely assembled and ready to serve in about an hour and a half. Perfect if you’ve completely forgotten that you promised to bring dessert to a dinner party until the morning of… and if you’ve forgotten until 45 minutes before, just make the mousse. Plop it into martini glasses with a few fresh raspberries and call it a night. Double Chocolate Tart makes 10 servings For the Crust: 1 package Famous Wafers. 1/2 cup sugar 1 stick butter, melted Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Blitz the famous wafers in a food processor until uniformly ground, maybe 20 seconds. Add the sugar and the melted butter and blitz again to combine. Dump the mixture into a 10 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Or use a shallow pie plate. It won’t look as cute, but it will be just as delicious. Use a short,straight-sided glass to mash the crust into an even layer across the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Use the flat of your hand to create a flat top even with the top of the tart pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Crust should be firm and fragrant but not any darker than when you started. Cool to room …

That’s Nuts: As American as Peanut Butter and Apple Pie

October 21, 2009 – 4:30 pm | by admin

d02a0975c3nutpie 150x112 Thats Nuts: As American as Peanut Butter and Apple Pie

Note: Lee Zalben, a.k.a. “the Peanut Butter Guy” is the creator of the Peanut Butter & Co., a New York sandwich shop with a national line of nut butters. Every week he’ll chime in with some nuttiness. [Photograph: Lee Zalben] Peanut Butter Apple Pie recipe » More from That’s Nuts » It’s apple season. Go to any farmer’s market and you’ll see them—bushels and bushels of Braeburns, McIntoshes, and Macouns. I’ve created many tasty recipes using apples and peanut butter over the years but was never able to perfect an apple pie recipe using peanut butter. So with all these apples in season right now, I thought this was a good time to get that peanut butter and apple pie recipe going again. The inspiration for this recipe was my favorite after school snack when I was a kid— apple wedges with peanut butter. There’s something about the cool, crisp, tart apples paired with the rich, creamy, salty-sweet taste of peanut butter. [ Flickr: Deborah Fitchett ] But there are so many variables to consider when creating an apple pie recipe from the ground up. The first issue is the apples of course. Jonagolds and Cortlands are known for being good …

Home-made Thin Crust Pizza

September 28, 2009 – 8:11 pm | by admin

6dfee5c4fahn 150x106 Home made Thin Crust Pizza

This is my version of a thin crust pizza. I made it for lunch last weekend. Yeah, I made my own crust, and it’s whole wheat. It was not as hard to make as I first thought it was. It was really easy actually because the crust is made from my left-over foccacia dough. I was really happy at how it turned out. Here’s my recipe. It was really easy, I just tossed everything together and it turned out nicely. 1 portion of prepared dough, room temperature 5 cherry tomatoes quartered 3 tbsp prepared pesto salt and pepper 4 whole tinned tomatoes 1 zucchini, sliced 1 small fennel, trimmed and sliced 1 red or any colour of sweet pepper, sliced sprigs of rosemary and thyme a pinch of dried oregano and pepper flakes 3 tbsp shaved parmesan cheese First, I put the tinned tomatoes in a food processor and whirled it until it’s liquid. Then, I added the dried oregano, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Next, I rolled the dough really really thinly and didn’t let it rise. I spread pesto evenly on top of the dough and topped it with the tomato sauce and spread it all over the top of …

Chocolate Pudding Hand Pies. Healthy Makeover.

August 28, 2009 – 9:34 pm | by admin

6375ac2844pie 11 150x135 Chocolate Pudding Hand Pies. Healthy Makeover.

Remember those hand-held fruit pies that you ate as a kid? There was a chocolate flavor too. Well despite the pleasant childhood nostalgia , there’s not much nice to say about those artificially flavored and colored pies. The Hostess ‘Cherry Pie’ ingredients tell it all: Red 40. 50% your RDA of saturated fat per pie. Yuck. So I decided to test out my own recipe for Vegan Chocolate Pudding Hand Pies . First I made some soy chocolate pudding. Then I made some hearty-grained biscuit-style dough. Put them together and my pies were born. The flavors were dreamy , although I do have a few tips for making them even better next time. Check out my recipe and what I’d do differently… The Good. I love my crust. It had more of a biscuit flavor than a pie crust flavor, but I …

My Tofu Pot Pie with Homestyle Veggies. Vegan.

August 7, 2009 – 11:58 pm | by admin

75dea3d39epie 11 150x135 My Tofu Pot Pie with Homestyle Veggies. Vegan.

Pot pie. It’s one of those strange comfort foods that warms you up from the inside out. Perfect in winter, but just as fun in summer with a side of iced lemon tea and a cool summer salad. I have been anxious to experiment with a pot pie recipe for a while now, so I finally gave it a whirl. I wanted this recipe to be traditional with peas, carrots, creamy gravy-esque filling and a thick biscuit style crust. But my two innovative ‘pot pie’ features: tofu instead of chicken and all vegan ingredients. Organic when possible. I call it my Homestyle Tofu Pot Pie . Making a pot pie from scratch is a lot easier than I thought. The hardest part is the labor-intensive crust. It was another flour-all-over-the-kitchen event, but it was worth it! Try my recipe and see my how-to images… Pot Pie Memories. I have been a fan of pot…

Espresso Cream Pie

July 19, 2009 – 9:13 pm | by admin

40430da368final 150x99 Espresso Cream Pie

Not the best picture of the final product. I wanted to get a shot up as soon as possible and it wasn’t quite set enough to cut. I’ll try and get a replacement tomorrow… My Pancake Bars were such a hit that I thought I’d try another dessert. Although I didn’t plan it that way, this one is almost a vegan dessert, except for the half and half and probably the chocolate wafers have butter in them – oh right and the eggs. In any case I used soy milk and plant oil-based butter instead of the real stuff and adjusted down on the bad ingredients by using half and half instead of cream. But don’t worry, this Espresso Cream Pie comes out chill, silky and heavenly. Unfortunately this is a recipe that uses both the oven and stove, so plan to make this earlier in the morning or late at night. Oh and don’t…

transitional rhubarb-apple pie

July 13, 2009 – 1:34 am | by admin

Organic rhubarb stalks, fresh from the market The transition period from Winter to Spring is a tricky time to get dressed. It’s often chilly in the morning, but downright summer-like by mid-afternoon. So you have to introduce your lighter clothes gingerly and dress in layers. The same goes for the transition between winter and spring produce. Rhubarb makes only a fleeting appearance in the markets this time of year. Like seeing the robin redbreast, spying the cheerful magenta stalks in the produce aisle is a sure a sign that spring has firmly taken hold. I couldn’t resist buying a large organic bunch at the Fair Food Farmstand . The only problem is that several winter apples were sulking in my produce bin, waiting to be consumed. Frankly, after a winter spent eating one or two apples a day, I had had enough. So…
