18th-Jul-2009 09:42 pm - Recipe Request ; Apple pie filling!
Hey there!

I got a nice pie dish laying around, but I wasn't sure what to put in it until my boyfriend got me some apples!

Anyone has a recipe for some nice applepie-filling? ;3
Hi! I just discovered this community while googling for some baking goodies, and i'm so glad i did! <3 I love baking! So anyway I've been seeing these pink, green, blue, yellow etc cupcakes that look kinda like burgers all around the icon communities i frequent (so i can only provide icons and banners, sorry! ) and i really really want to learn how to make them!! Can anyone help?? here are some pics!

more ) I know it's hard to see the details because some of the images are so small, but if anyone does me and my tummy would be really grateful! :)

18th-Jul-2009 11:45 pm - Spinach Soup recipes?
 I posted about a week ago asking what to do with copious amounts of spinach....  My mother in law and I harvested 15lbs of the stuff.  We froze most of it (blanched and then froze) and I ate about 1lb raw (at one sitting....).  

Then, the other day, I had to harvest it AGAIN and got about 10lbs.  This time it is all raw, washed, and in a special refrigerator JUST FOR THE SPINACH.

One suggestion that stood out to me was spinach soup, but I do not have a recipe and was wondering if anyone had some tried-and-true recipes for it?  

Fortunately, my mother in law is going to use some of the spinach as well, since she didn't plant any.  But I have to havrvest this bed of spinach one more time and then plant more....  eek!  I'm going to have spinach coming out of my ears!  

So those soup recipes... ;-)  

Thanks!

19th-Jul-2009 04:02 am - Butterscotch Cookies

Butterscotch Chips are pretty pricey and I'm pretty cheap so we've never really met offficially. This union only happened because somehow the stars have aligned and they were going for half the usual price at a supermarket nearby so naturally I couldn't defy the gods! I originally wanted to make some sort of muffin with them but I couldn't find a suitable recipe so I settled on these cookies instead.

Best. Decision. Ever.

why is every decision i make wrong?! not only are they wrong or regretful BUT it is constantly rubbed in my face by cruel cruel fate that i screwed up again. granted they aren't important life changing things (or are they? i will never know!) but why can't i ever do anything and it have a positive outcome? probably because my decision is always to sit my ass at home and feel sorry for myself. i actually have stuff i need to finish by a certain day/time or constraints (no babysitter, for example) but feeling sorry for myself is how it always ends up. fucking stupid get me out of here.

Cake I made for my niece Chloe's 4th birthday party tomorrow. Two layer (top strawberry, bottom vanilla). I piped everything except the fish (swedish fish) and the topper. Sand is graham crackers. Shells are chocolate made by me. Birthday girl requested a "octamapus" and a crab... so she got them. Her candles spell out her name, so I left that off. Enjoy.

My friend's birthday is next Saturday and I'll be making the cupcakes. I was thinking of doing a luau/Hawaiian theme but that's not really my issue. I'm going to be using a mix and store bought frosting but is there any way to make the cake a little more vanilla/flavorful? I was thinking of putting vanilla bean in there but I'm afraid it might make it bitter.

Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated as well as any cute luau/Hawaiian ideas!

Thanks!
18th-Jul-2009 02:16 pm - chocolate pasta
Holy crap I just bought some CHOCOLATE PASTA from the farmer's market! Has anyone mastered this confection? What kind of "sauce" should I mix with it? (obviously chocolate derivative, but possibly some kind of raspberry variation?)
This was my very first wedding cake and the biggest cake I've ever had to make. Yikes. I was relatively pleased with it. The 10:30pm emergency egg run that had to be made after one tier collapsed and I had to start one of the cakes over made for a late night and the fondant is kind of pitted in places, but all in all, I think it's ok. The flowers are artificial. The ribbon, real.

It was definitely a learning experience. I know what NOT to do next time!

I have loads of left over roast beef and no idea what to do with it other than sandwiches but if I do that we'll be eating them for a week. Any ideas? It's done quite rare if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!

18th-Jul-2009 12:09 pm - Green onion yogurt bread
Okay, so I bought green onions to make this recipe )
Only it turns out I don't have plain yogurt--I have vanilla. So--will it taste awful if I use the vanilla (which I suspect it will)? should I sub sour cream? or should I just run back out and get some plain yogurt?
