Cake!

So I made a praline cake for Dh's Birthday. I swiped the recipe from here. Instead of using a chocolate cake though I used butter pecan. It came out so good. It's positively evil. I also got to use a cake plate that I got for my wedding shower which makes me even happier. Oh and let me add healthy eating went out the window with it. :/

Anybody else bake/cook anything over the weekend.

Re: Cake!

  • I really shouldn't have looked at that link! Yum.

    I cooked a stuffed cornish game hen rubbed with fresh herbs from my garden for dinner last night. DH and I love these little hens, they're perfect for us. I didn't plan a side very well, so on the fly I made the most amazingly creamy mashed potatoes.

    I also boiled asparagus for the first time. I was surprised how tender they were. We eat them at least once a week, but always baked.

  • Yum.  That looks so good!

    I had a major baking fail last night.  I was completely craving chocolate chip cookies, and I just happened to have some homemade dough sitting in the freezer.  Since DH is out of town for the week, I knew that if I made the whole batch, I would just end up eating every single cookie.  In order to restrain myself, I cut off enough dough to make three cookies.  Simple right?  Not so much. Not sure what happened, but I guess I set the timer wrong and they ended up absolutely crisped Crying

    How bad is it that I still ate them though Embarrassed

  • Oh man, that looks killer! I made some two bite hazelnut-chocolate brownies yesterday. They're super addictive. I think I've had 5 today. Embarrassed
  • That looks amazing!

    I'm thinking about making either some brownies or chocolate chip cookies right now. Smile

  • Wow that looks great! DH and I did some cooking over the weekend for our families who both came over to our new house for a Mother's Day dinner. I made ham with maple syrup, orange juice, brown sugar, and honey glaze along with rosemary oven-baked potatoes, broccoli salad, and mac & cheese casserole with cheesecake brownies for dessert. I was feeling pretty domestic this weekend...can ya tell?

    I hope you found time to make them tonight, but if not, make sure to freeze the bananas! I swear my best banana bread comes from frozen bananas.
