“My apple crumble is by far the most crumble-est.”
Do you know how long I’ve been waiting to say that in a blog post??? AWHILE. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, head here to be educated on the awesomeness of The Lonely Island’s “I'm So Humble.”
For those of you already in the know: *high five*
Let’s move on to our book-inspired recipe for Hour of the Witch. Boiled apples are pretty pivotal in main character Mary...
I hate Anisette Cookies with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns.
Yeah, I said it. A food blogger started off her own blog post by saying "I hate these cookies." However, my husband adores them. He loves whenever I make them.
#TheThingsWeDoForLove
He can't get enough of all things anisette, anise, or licorice. If you're anything like him, then YOU'RE WELCOME for this recipe. I’m gonna be frank with you – if you don’t like the...
Full disclosure: these Totally Different Chocolate Chip Cookies are unlike any other chocolate chip cookie you've tasted.
So different, in fact, that I debated posting this recipe. I even debated calling them "chocolate chip cookies."
In the end, though, these cookies were just SO. FREAKIN'. GOOD. that I decided it'd be selfish to keep them to myself.
(You're welcome. Manners cost nothing.) Even though I've already paid homage to my...
I swore that I'd never make a carrot cake for the blog.
But I've broken that promise to bring you the book-inspired recipe for Love Like That. Because just look at this book cover. How could I not bake a carrot cake for this post?? For years, I've disliked carrot cake. Loathed it, in fact. Every version I've tried has been dry and tasteless.
A few years ago, at the insistence of some co-workers at an office party (oh, the things we do under...
Tartlets, you’re looking at the Official Blueberry Buckle Baking Dish of Tartlet Cottage. Didn’t realize that was a thing, did you? The buckle or its official baking dish. I bet a good 75% of you out there are wondering what the heck a Blueberry Buckle is. Before we talk about that, let’s talk about what a Blueberry Buckle isn't. A buckle is not a cobbler. It's not a crisp. It’s also not a crumble, though it does have a crumble-type...
Listen up, Tartlets! I'm bringing you summertime vibes in cookie form with Miami Vice Cookies. Before we go any further, let me clear one thing up: when I say "Miami Vice," I am not talking about the TV show. I'm talking about a DRINK. You all know that I don't love alcohol; I don't care for wine or beer or cocktails or anything like that. A Shirley Temple is my I'm-At-A-Bar beverage of choice. The exception to my hatred of alcohol is a Miami...
A new door into the World of Desserts has opened for me, thanks to Chocolate Orange Truffles. Say it with me: "Homemade chocolate." Sounds daunting, right? Like, sure, maybe you could do it, but only if you had way more time on your hands. Or, if you were a character in a Hallmark movie fleeing to Europe after a bad breakup. WRONG. Get ready to be amazed, Tartlets. Making Chocolate Orange Truffles is way easier than I ever thought candy-making...
How did I go all these years of my life without ever tasting Bara Brith? This Welsh tea bread is a little like a scone, a little like a fruitcake, and a LOT like something I want to eat everyday for the rest of my life. The Bone Houses is steeped in Welsh folklore, and one of the first foods mentioned in the book is Bara Brith, a traditional Welsh teatime treat. Bara Brith is literally a tea cake – you steep dried fruit in tea and mix it into...
Making Raspberry Rose Profiteroles is back-breaking work. Wait, no, I’m totally kidding! These profiteroles are my first book-inspired recipe since my back surgery, so let’s just say that easing back into food blogger life is…interesting. I actually picked Raspberry Rose Profiteroles to launch my comeback because they are so super easy to make. There was a time I made profiteroles on the regular because they were one of the few...
It's just not Christmas if Jam Thumbprint Cookies aren't on my dessert table. Even though I didn't grow up baking these little cookies filled with fruity goodness, they've become a Christmas cookie staple in my home over the years. Which is why I think they're the perfect book-inspired recipe for Christmas Joy. Main character Joy spends hours baking dozens and dozens of cookies for her Aunt Ruby’s holiday house tour and annual Christmas Cookie...
