TWD: Swedish Visiting Cake

I loved this cake from start to finish.  I loved using my wrought iron corn bread skillet, I loved how easy it was to make, I loved how fast  it was whipped up and I loved the taste! What else can I say? You should try it!

Ready to go in the baking pans!

Hello Folks.  I am posting this at the last minute for the Tuesday's With Dorie Group.  It is due on Tuesday and I am just barely getting this done before Tuesday is over.  I replaced the Walnuts with Ground Almonds.   I made two cakes, a regular sized one and a small one.  The regular sized one is for a March of Dimes Charity Auction tomorrow at Ocean Springs Hospital in Ocean Springs Mississippi.  I found this recipe fairly easy to follow, and I am typing this while it cooks and it smells so good.  I hope it tastes as good as it smells.  I recently bought some new lights for my photographing, but since this was put off u til the last minute, I was not able to use them.  Although I did do a couple of other things that I learned in the class, and I can already see a difference.  I can't wait to utilitze my new lights.

TWD: Thumbprints For Us Big Guys & Happy Birthday Pam

Ta Da!!!!

I enjoyed this weeks project very much. The recipe was easy and the cookies were pretty.  I had to use Almonds instead of Hazelnuts. I really wante to use the hazelnuts, but couldn't find them at any of the local grocery stores.  The only thing I would have done different is to use Strawberry Jam instead of Raspberry.  Maybe Iwould have liked the Raspberry better f I had been able to use the Hazelnuts.  Regardless, they were still very good.  I took them to9 work for my friend, Pams Birthday.  I hope that she had a great one and Knows that I was thinking about her.  I could not post on the day of her Birthday, due to a computer problem.  She is such a fun lady and I love her dearly!

TWD: My Best Chocolate Chip Cookie

This is the second time for me to participate in the Tuesdays with Dorie challenge.  I was more than happy to make this recipe as I am always looking for the perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie.  I thought this cookie was very very good.  I used 6 ounces chopped Ghiradelli Chocolate(bittersweet) and 6 ounces of Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips.  Also, I melted the butter prior to mixing in the sugar.  I find this method the easiest and quickest way to make cookies because doing it this way you don't even have to bring out the mixer.  I will definitely make these again.  But I will also continue to be on the look out for great Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes.  As I try new ones, I will share them here.

TWD: Rick Katz's Brownies For Julia

This is my first post for the Tuesday's with Dorie challenge.  Though I have made several of the recipes from the book, this is the first official one.  Actually this task has produced several first's for me.  Besides it being my first TWD challenge, it is the first time I have used my new Corning Ware Lite  casserole dish ( which I love).  The dish comes with an airtight lid to keep the food fresh.  It was also a first to make brownies like this.  I don't think I have ever had a brownie recipe that called for you to whip the eggs before adding them to the batter.  How does it taste?  Well,  My husband said it tastes like it has pudding in the middle and he loved it.  It is very rich and moist, just like a brownie should be. My original plan was to add an icing recipe that I usually use when I make brownies, but once I tasted them, I realized that they were perfect without the icing.
