Berry Crisp

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Fruit, Gruntworthy for Guys, Vegetarian

I feel as though I've committed a serious crime. A foodie crime, if you will. Oh, there is such a thing. In fact, this may be my third strike. First, I used Velveeta, and admitted to loving it. Then, I made macaroons instead of macarons. Strike two. And now… a fruit crisp made with frozen [...]

Dark Chocolate Macaroons

Monday, February 22, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Vegetarian

Is it weird that I love the Bob's Red Mill aisle at my local grocery store? Bags and bags of flours, oatmeal, seeds, grains… so many possibilities, I could browse for a long, long time. (Yes, I totally know it's weird. I don't even know why I asked.) Recently I picked up a bag of [...]

A Fancy Spin on Baklava

Sunday, January 31, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Vegetarian

In the immortal (and slightly bastardized) words of Britney: "Oops, I made baklava again."  The last time I made it, my guy took a few squares into the office. Janice, a fellow co-worker and all around cool gal, celebrated her birthday yesterday – and she informed my guy that she was going to work on [...]

Pistachio and Walnut Baklava

Friday, January 22, 2010 in Chicks Dig It, Dessert, Food, Vegetarian

Baklava may be the best dessert I've ever known. And, well, let's just say I'm a dessert slut. I have a sweet tooth and my willpower is sometimes, shall we say, a little lacking. Besides, it's important for the integrity of The Hazel Bloom that I try most every dessert so that I have a [...]

Pine Bark

Monday, December 21, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian

This easy, delicious, candy slash cookie is made with… you ready? Saltine crackers! Yup. With the whole salted caramel mania these past couple of years, it's sort of understandable. Pine Bark is basically caramel over saltine crackers, slathered with chocolate. The crackers add a crazy good texture and a perfect hit of salt. I know, [...]

Angel Bars

I'm so new to this blog thing, that a month or so ago, I was thinking "12 Days of Christmas Cookies" would be a terrific, and, yes, novel idea. I was all gung ho about posting 12 of my very favorite cookie recipes all in a row. One of those recipes was going to be [...]

As I’m sure most people do, I have a set list of must-bake cookies I have to make at Christmastime every year. Along with the Dolly Parton’s Sugar Cookies I blogged about last week, there's pine bark, peppermint bark, and angel bars. And most definitely, a big bunch of secret kiss cookies are an absolute [...]

Dolly Parton’s Sugar Cookie Recipe

Thursday, December 10, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian

I have no idea if this recipe truly originates from Dolly, but if it did, thank you Dolly! Not only are you a super cool chick, but you gave me my go-to recipe for sugar cookies for going on probably 10 years now. I happened across this fab recipe while googling – heck, maybe I [...]

Butterscotch Pie

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Vegetarian

Not long after I posted the recipe for the sinfully delicious Butterscotch Pudding, I received a comment from the lovely jnine. “I’d like to try this in a pie for Thanksgiving!” she said and I paraphrase. She wondered about the adjustments needed to make that happen. And then, so did I. I couldn’t just let [...]

Lemon Bars

Monday, November 23, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Vegetarian

While searching for a great lemon bar recipe, I found that people are very, very, very particular about theirs. "Can't be too sweet!" "Can't be too tart!" "How in tarnation can a lemon bar recipe have so much flour in the lemon curd?! Blasphemy!" Stuff like that. Me, I just like a good lemon bar. [...]

Butterscotch Pudding

Sunday, November 15, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Vegetarian

Ever come across a food so divine, so scrumptious, so utterly sinful that, even while you're savoring every last bite, you're wishing you'd never discovered it? Because you know – you know – that this thing will be the subject of many low-willpower life moments to come? Psh. Not me. Nuh uh. Never. Okay, fine, [...]

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sunday, November 8, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian

Sometimes I just don't know what to do to express a sentiment, other than bake someone something. In this case, a friend and coworker of mine is moving out of the state. I think it's going to be such a great thing for her and her family, but doggone it, I'm going to miss her! [...]
