You might recall that not too long ago I posted about the Pepperidge Farm “Puffection” Holiday Entertaining Challenge. Now for the second part of the challenge: my own “Puffection” creation using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. Golden, caramelized sugar coats these puff pastry palmiers. Enjoy them plain, with cinnamon and sugar, or dipped in chocolate for a special holiday treat.
Fortune cookies have been on my list for a while now so when DailyBuzz Moms announced the Thanksgiving Kids Table 9×9 I thought that it was the perfect opportunity to make “I am Thankful for…” Fortune cookies.
This dessert is simply my favorite Hawaiian breakfast in pound cake form. By substituting low-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, I can have my tropical cake and eat it, too!
These banana macadamia nut pancakes are yummy plain or with conventional pancake dressings but when drizzled with coconut syrup they will leave you dreaming of the land of aloha. Just one bite will transport you to the Hawaiian islands.
A little bit of this coconut syrup goes a long way. It is rich and sweet and will transport you to the islands in just one bite. I use the syrup for breakfast on banana macadamia nut pancakes and I also like to incorporate it into desserts.
Shave ice is commonly thought of as a Hawaiian specialty, and though this is now true, its origins actually trace back to Japan where it is known as kakigori. Now variations of shaved ice can be found all around the world.
Angel food cake is light and airy and will melt in your mouth, especially when served with fluffy whipped cream frosting. Its sweet, rich almond flavor goes well with fruits and berries and paired with its overall light texture makes it the perfect cake for summer.
Want to take your burgers up a notch? Making restaurant-quality (or better) hamburgers at home is easy. Simply grind your own meat, or have the butcher do it for you, for the best burgers you’ve ever had!
Parfait, French for “perfect,” is traditionally a French dessert. In the United States it has transitioned into a healthy and filling breakfast or snack, typically made with yogurt, granola and berries. In the spirit of the 4th of July I layered strawberry, vanilla and blueberry yogurts with homemade granola to create a festive red, white and blue breakfast.
Being from the Pacific Northwest, I am a novice at Barbecue. To be exact, I have hosted and been to countless BBQs and my family would grill just about anything on the BBQ. But as for Barbecue as it is known in the American South {and other parts of the world} I have been completely in the dark.
