For Valentine’s Day, I made a really nice lunch for Mamma Cream Puff and Brother Cream Puff and instead of ending with a chocolate dessert, I ended with a coconut one.
I’d had my eye on this pretty little thing for awhile and decided to finally try it: Coconut Rice Puddings with Crispy Coconut.
Needless to [...]
The 2010 February Daring Cook’s challenge was hosted by Michele of Veggie Num Nums. Michele chose to challenge everyone to make mezze based on various recipes from Claudia Roden, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Dugid.
Well I’m a few days late posting my February 2010 DC challenge but it’s not my fault. Between posting about how [...]
You know Cream Puff loves you!
Just to be sure, I’m saying it with sweet crepes covered in Nutella.
And a few candied hearts, too!
Happy Love Day!
Ciao!
Crepes with Nutella

And Magazine Mondays is back!
I missed last week’s edition and I have a lot of entries this week so I’m anxious to get at it!

Seriously.
I will threaten anyone, even those I love dearly, with infinite pain if I catch them even eyeing my Nutella supply.
Generally, an early warning system kicks in whereby I will give the [...]
I am a four-season child.
By that I mean I have to live somewhere that has four distinct seasons. I can appreciate the allure of a place that is sunny and warm all year long, perhaps I might even visit said place for some rest or relaxation, but to live there permanently?
Don’t think so.

For the first time in Magazine Mondays history, I got nothin’ for ya! The cupcakes pictured above are actually a variation on a recipe that I presented in an older MM post.
It’s been pretty busy since the new year and I haven’t had a lot of time to hit that magazine pile.
