I am finally getting my bake on...again! I have been making a lot of simple, delicious dinners lately, but have been craving more! I definitely think that is the baby talking. Finally my sweet tooth has kicked in, but it is different this time around. This time I crave pastry and cake along with fruit. In that sense it is not overly sweet per say as it is just crumbly goodness.
So, Here are a few recipes I have found while perusing over the last few weeks. I hope to get to all of these within the next 2 weeks.
1. Blueberries. Since blueberries are in season here...I have been stocking up. It is one of the few fruits my son will eat, plus I LOVE blueberries. I have already made a homemade blueberry sauce that is dying for a nice cheesecake. Yet, in the meantime it is smothering every waffle and pancake I can get my grubby little hands on. So, to mix it up I found Bree. She has this delectable Blueberry muffin recipe on her blog Baked Bree. I can't wait to bake these like delights!
Here is her beautiful picture of the Blueberry Muffin.
2. Apple. What is more American the Apple Pie...right! When 4th of July came and went I was so disappointed not to have this classic American treat on hand. I can see those glorious gooey apples smothered with with melting frozen goodness! MMmmm....excuse me while I drool! Thus, while at the market the other day Apples topped my list. I found two delicious recipes I can't wait to dip into!
The first is a classic apple crips...I grew up on apple crisp with its scrumptious little oatmeal crispies...Cory over at Culinary Cory has recipe I can't wait to dive into! The vanilla ice cream is already in the freeze waiting...
Here is his picture of this simple American dessert.
Yet, one apple dessert is never enough. Remember that I said I was also craving cake. Well, I couldn't resist this recipe the moment I saw this picture.
See what I mean! It just screams crumbly gloriousness. Ohhh...I want some now. So, thank you to the mother and daughter cooking combo over at Russian Season. I can't wait to bake my own!
3. Pineapple. Usually this is not a fruit high on my list of delights, but recently I had some fresh pineapple at a playdate. It was so juicy and delicious, I gorged! So, since I love pineapple on my pizza I knew I would love this recipe. (I will just have to make a separate pizza for the boys! LOL!
Thank you Barry at Rock Recipes for posting this sensation pizza-pie!
I can't wait to dive into these treats...Not to decide which ones to start first!
So far, I have made the pizza and blueberry muffins! The muffins tasted like they had too much baking powder. This is my second attempt and I think My pregnancy is effecting my taste buds...so, I am going to have to come up with another blueberry recipe.
ReplyDeleteThe pizza was OUTSTANDING!!! I used a walnut basil pesto with grilled zucchini, yellow squash, vidalia onion, asparagus, pineapple, and roasted red peppers. Delcious is an under statement.
