If you’ve been following this blog, you would’ve seen the pictures of the recipes I’ve tried in the last twelve months.
Not all of them have turned out like they should’ve. But I’ve loved the excitement of trying new recipes. And of course, I have to thank all those who *willingly* ate my food experiments, even the not so yummy ones.
This one’s definitely going on the list again (:
You can check out my 20 recipes here!
I made this for dinner one of the evenings this past week…
And it turned out pretty yummy.
Simple and good, just my type (:
9 down, 11 to go.
Why, hello again!
I hope you had a super duper weekend. It seems as if the weekend flew by because it was so busy. Makes me wish for longer weekends! Haha.
I made these on Friday before the weekend. And they were so good!
But I was in a hurry, so these photos don’t do justice.
The cake was moist and the browned butter icing was delicious! Plus, the taste seems to get better with each passing day.
You can find the recipe here. I used a different sized pan and added more walnuts. But those are the only tweaks I made to the recipe. Although, I reckon I would probably cute down on the icing next time (unless you like yours really sweet) because the quantity yielded from the recipe would probably have been enough to cover two cakes.
In my opinion, I think they taste best chilled. But honestly, they’re good any way.

Today was completely unproductive from a to-do list standpoint.
BUT, I did accomplish quite a bit if you count in cello class, piano lessons, baking from two recipes, and making dinner.
I didn’t plan on accomplishing two of twenty recipes today. But I did.
We had this pasta for dinner, followed by nutella sandwich cookies for dessert.
I think the recipe I had from Rachael Ray’s book was slightly different from the one I found on her web. And I made several substitutions to the pasta recipe because I didn’t have all of the ingredients. But the siblings liked it anyway, so it’s all good.
(I used regular penne instead of wholewheat, vegetable instead of chicken stock, dried instead of fresh rosemary, parmesan instead of romano cheese, and left out the veggies. Okay, too many substitutions, I know.)
I also made a batch of marbled chocolate brownies for a friend’s birthday this weekend.
Then I made the nutella sandwich cookies. I’ll admit, I tried to be ambitious and make my cookies with butterfly cookie cutters. But then I ran out of time before dinner had to be on the table, so I changed my mind and made round cookies instead. Maybe I’ll try butterfly shaped cookies another day when I have the luxury of more time (:
6 down, 14 more to go.
I hope your weekend is a-ma-zingggg! I’m quite looking forward to mine (:
