Monkey bread is always a favorite with groups, however, in some settings it is not practical or easy for everyone to literally pull apart from the same loaf of bread. Earlier this year I made my monkey bread in muffin tins for individual servings that turned out perfectly for a party.
Mix and match moist pumpkin bread, fudgy chocolate brownies and salted caramel sauce for an assortment of decadent autumn treats.
Cinnamon-sugar is a favorite comfort combo for me. It was a logical step to up the comfort and sandwich my cinnamon {snickerdoodle} ice cream between soft & chewy snickerdoodle cookies.
I don’t know about you, but with the soggy, windy weather this week we spent the last weekend holed up in the house. I admit that at moments we went a little stir crazy but deep down I think we enjoyed the excuse to pause and recover from our hectic summer schedule.
Pumpkins. Squash. Caramel…Ice cream. I know ice cream may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of fall. However, for me, ice cream is a year-round comfort food and I especially love making autumn-appropriate flavors. The sweet, saltiness of this caramel sauce paired with the creamy, refreshing French vanilla ice cream speaks autumn.
As we transition into fall, this ABC pasta doubles as a comfort food and a fairly mess-free rainy-day project for kids of all ages.
Strawberry picking is a summer tradition for my family, always followed by some form of strawberry shortcake. This year we churned our strawberry shortcake into ice cream. Homemade French vanilla ice cream marbled with strawberry puree and crumbled pound cake may be one of my new absolute favorites.
Feature the Castello Moments Alps Selection cheeses with build-your-own three cheese flat breads.
This time around, I skipped the step of making gyoza altogether and simply made the meat filling, forming it into mini patties for gyoza sliders. When dressed with sauteed mushrooms and red onions, wasabi, pickled ginger and gyoza dipping sauce, these fusion burgers are a unique twist on the classic American burger and they make a tasty appetizer or main course.
With our recent first marshmallow-making adventure the week before Easter it was a natural progression to transform some of them into Peeps. Even if you don’t make them look like the store-bought Peeps, you can cut them out in Easter shapes and decorate them with sprinkles, chocolate and more.
