Summer and coconut go together like peas and carrots, like bacon and eggs, like babies and boobies, like… I think you get the concept :P Coconut is something that gives me the feeling of summer, beach and a good time. Mostly because I get my cocktails served in coconuts at a beach bar… just kidding! I’m not an alcoholic! Even though there is some coconut liquor in this delicious Buttermilk Coconut Pound Cake… don’t judge me ;P
A month passed by already since Andrea and I made our last “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”. Fascinating how time flies. Especially in summer. Seems those get shorter every year :P Anyway. The month passed and it’s time for a new topic – you know the drill. This time we agreed on making “a tart with fruits or something like that”. Not very specific :P I guess this time we won’t have very similar recipes. Well… I made a gluten-free Coconut Pudding Tart with Fruits and Berries. Delicious!
Are you ready for Easter? It’s about time to decide what to cook and bake and what kind of decorations you might want to use for the festivities. Is there something you always have for Easter? Like a traditional bake or dish? For us it’s definitely a braided yeast loaf/challah – with or without filling, doesn’t matter. And Carrot Cake Cupcakes. Easter would not be perfect without them. These little fellas are soo good, you should definitely try someday!
Happy Cookie Friday! Are you ready for a new batch of delicious cookies? Do you know how I sometimes decide what kind of cookies I want to bake? Very easy process. I take a look at my cabinets and used the stuff that falls into my arms first: cranberries, coconut flakes, and white chocolate this time. Could have been worse. A can of tuna was very close to the edge and almost fell out as well ;P
How about a little break from all things Christmas?! I mean Christmas Eve is basically around the corner, but I think a little break from the Christmas madness could be nice. No Christmas cookies today, no cinnamon, gingerbread spices, nothing like that. I think we should go for something tropical. It’s cold outside, let’s make something that would fit for a nice summer day. Maybe something with coconuts and a little bit of liquor? What do you think? May I serve you a slice of this delicious no-bake coconut cheesecake? ;)
Red beets are a good source in fall to get an extra portion of vitamins and minerals. Red beets are full of that! To include all of this in your diet, you can cook the beets and serve it as a side dish or make a nice salad with it… oooooor you use them to bake a nice Red Beet Cake! Probably something new for some of you out there, but it’s definitely something you should try!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
