Fig & Dark Chocolate Dessert Focaccia
Recently, I had done a post on a dessert focaccia that tasted just like cinnamon roll, and since it went over so well, I was inspired to make another one. This time, I decided to make a dessert focaccia that included some homemade fig jam and some really good Guittard dark chocolate. If you haven’t…

Sweet & Salty Three Cheese Tart With Caramelized Figs
Sometimes you want something different in a dessert. I don’t know about you but I love a sweet, salty and delicately spicy combination in desserts…and when it comes together as it should it’s true nirvana. I often have cheese and fruit for dessert, so I wanted to combine some of my favorite cheese items into…

Homemade Kings Hawaiian Bread
King’s Hawaiian bread is one of those products that is so delicious that I remember the first time I tried it. I was a college freshman living in the Chesapeake Hall Dorm at UMBC and my roommate’s name was Jackie. Jackie and I were High School friends and we were hoping to continue on together…

Liege Waffles
There are a million types of waffles…literally…they are eaten throughout the world particularly in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Hong Kong, Vietnam and of course the USA.

Kitchen Sink Focaccia
I’ve been in a focaccia state of mind lately. My last post for Caramel Pecan Focaccia made me crave a savory version and this one just hit the spot. Many years ago I was lucky enough to enjoy the best focaccia I have ever had in a place in Baltimore called Stonemill Bakery. The flavor…

Those delicious and spicy aromas combined with that addictive scent of baking bread thrills me with anticipation. Yes, I said thrills me…but then again, baking always did. I remember…

Light & Fluffy French Crullers
Who doesn’t just love a great donut. I must admit that I simply adore them. We’ve made lots of them here which have included my Greek loukoumades, bacon honey donuts, Berliner donuts and even bomboloni donuts we recently made for Easter. I may not eat them exclusively for breakfast as others do, but I would…

Spicy Churros with Cajeta Caramel Sauce & Chocolate Drizzle
Finding a good churro recipe is challenging…trust me on this because it has taken me a while to develop a good one. I had found a recipe which was authentically Spanish and tried it as it was written, but it wasn’t very good. I attempted it a few more times and finally got it to…

Savory BLT Sopapillas with Beer Cheese Sauce
Cinco de Mayo went off on Saturday with a bang, but I was still very much in a Mexican state of mind… A few lingering bottles of Dos Equis beer had me thinking of a beer cheese sauce with some garlic, mustard and a bit of cayenne pepper for spice….but what kind of sandwich should…

Dessert Sopapillas For Your Cinco de Mayo Celebration
If you visit a Mexican restaurant in North America, then more than likely you are going to find sopapillas (pronounced so-pa-pee-yas) on the dessert menu. Sopapilla means bread soaked in oil, and although we are trying to avoid a greasy result, it is basically a fried, sweet dough that is then paired with a…
