Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
Here is another item scratched off my kitchen bucket list– Donuts.
I’m not a huge fan of donuts. In fact, if I’m honest with myself (and you guys), I give a donut a 4.5 in my scale of favorite things to eat. And that is saying a lot, because donuts are basically fried dough, and seriously who does not like FRIED dough?
Anyone? Anyone? I thought so.
This month’s Avid Bakers Challenge is a quick one. I love quick recipes. The ones that utilize one bowl come together pretty quickly and end up being a delicious treat.
In this recipe, these cupcakes are made in the blender.
Yep, you read it right - in.the.blender. The one you use to make smoothies in. But, in this case, we will use it to make cupcake batter.
And these cupcakes fit all of the above and more. They also fit my desire to send a happy birthday to three of my favorite people today with virtual cupcakes!
Happy Birthday NYBoy 1!
Happy Birthday (belated) NYBoy 2!
Happy Birthday son to be brother-in-Law!
I have had the croissants on my kitchen bucket list for a bit now. It’s one of those recipes that scared me; mostly because it seems like it is so hard to do, but, when you do get to them, you realize that is not that they are hard, it’s that they are TIME CONSUMING. Two totally different things.
Two days for these to be done.
TWO.DAYS!
And believe me; I looked all over the Internet for a short cut.
No dice. Nada, Zip. Croissant making HAS NO short cut. They take time, period.
A lot of time. And a lot of waiting.
Oh.my.god – THE.WAITING!
