Adventures in cooking and baking.
While these tasty Argentine-style burgers with chimichurri sauce might be a little more work than making a standard burger, they are worth the extra effort.
The beef for these burgers includes a few mix-ins, including onions, garlic, jalapeño, as well as cumin, oregano, and cilantro. After cooking, they are topped with a tasty chimichurri sauce that takes just a few minutes to make.
These maple pecan oatmeal scones are a wonderful way to start your day. You get all of the goodness of oatmeal in a tender scone.
These oatmail scones are fabulous for breakfast. While they contain maple in the scone and the glaze, they aren't overly sweet at all. They also have a wonderful toasted oats flavor and also include toasted pecans. After totally enjoying oat-filled gingerbread scones earlier this fall, I definitely needed to give another oatmeal scone recipe a try.
These cardamom cinnamon muffins, with warming spices and a sweet topping, are a tasty way to start your day.
These muffins take just a few minutes to assemble before baking too, so you can have fresh muffins on your table in less than an hour. Your kitchen will be filled with the aroma of freshly baked treats.
This tomato and Boursin bruschetta is a super easy to pull together when you need a tasty appetizer in a flash.
This appetizer is wonderful for this time of year, especially with New Year's Eve coming and with football season going strong. Plus, sometimes you just need a quick snack for when friends drop by or for bringing to a get together.
These extra big bakery-style sprinkle cookies have a wonderfully distinct vanilla flavor with just a touch of almond... and they're filled with jimmies for a bit of fun color and additional sweetness.
These cookies are wonderful for a holiday cookie exchange or for gift giving. They can be adapted for any holiday or special occasion. Just change the color of the sprinkles.
This Zacatecas-style beef stew is a quick and hearty dish you can have on the table in less than an hour.
This stew is based on picadillo Zacatecano, a mixture of ground beef and potatoes in a tomato sauce. Most regions of Latin America have their own picadillo, from simple to complicated. This one, from the central/north state of Zacatecas, Mexico, is fairly simple but still flavorful.
Soboro Ppang (소보로빵) is a Korean roll that is topped with a tasty peanut butter streusel. It can be baked with just the streusel or it can be stuffed with a filling such as red bean paste, pastry cream, jam, or even more peanut streusel.
This soboro ppang is the recipe the Bread Baking Babes are baking this month, as introduced by the blog My Diverse Kitchen. This is my first go at making this bread and, although my streusel turned out a little too sparse after the rolls rose in the oven, I was still super happy with the results.
