I had a potluck 2 weeks ago. It’s theme is International Food. So yeah. I’m in Germany… which means technically American cuisine would be considered “international”, right? HAHA
So brownies it is. BUT! Not your traditional brownie… it’s a cookies n’ creme brownie! This delicious thing has oreos baked inside of the brownie as well as a creamy oreo buttercream slathered on top.
Madagascar Vanilla Bean Sugar & Cream for baking
January 21, 2012 by · 3 Comments
Beanilla was having a HUGE sale on their vanilla beans, so I snatched up a 1/2lb of Madagascar beans this week. Seriously, the BEST investment I’ve made for my baking in a long time.
These beans are so fresh, so moist, and so full of great vanilla flavor… I really can’t wait to use them in EVERYTHING for the next few months. I just hope that 1/2lb was enough!

I have these gorgeous bananas sitting on my counter right now. Long, bright yellow, soft but still a bit firm, not too over ripe… perfect for baking. I’ve also got about 10 strips of bacon. Oh and I’m craving peanut butter buttercream.
So yeah… I made a cupcake… with all those things in it.

If you love a chewy, yet crispy cookie… then this is for you! I got the inspiration from Joy the Baker for these cookies, but of course had to put my own spin on them.
I used my homemade peanut butter, added some vanilla and a bit of flour. They taste YUMMMMM… but to be 100% honest with you, I’m not in love with how they look.

Valentine’s Day is just a few short weeks away… and you know what that means? LOTS AND LOTS of delicious baked yummies all colored in pink and red for this holiday full of LOVE!
Actually, it’s just another reason for me to bake. Haha. My hubby and I don’t usually celebrate Valentine’s Day because he’s either been in the field training or deployed to war. This year, he’s home…. but we’re still not celebrating.
