Simple Tip: Transfer Dough With a Rolling Pin
While baking a tart this weekend, I found myself needing to transfer some extremely pliable, rolled-out dough from a floured workstation to a baking sheet. Since I didn't want the dough, which had been trimmed into a neat rectangle, to lose its shape, I rolled it loosely back onto my rolling pin, deftly transferred the rolling pin onto a baking sheet standing by, then slowly unrolled it back to its flat shape to bake. Voila!
Perfect Holiday Appetizer: Ham and Cheese Thumbprints
I love recipes that take simple, classic ingredients — in this case ham and cheese — and recreate them into something sophisticated and elegant. This recipe also uses a technique normally reserved for sweets (jam-filled thumbprint cookies) and applies it to savory components. The end result is an appetizer that is scrumptious, innovative, and delightfully balanced.
Roll Out Pie Dough the Easy Way
Last week, YumSugar gave me a super simple tip that saved my pumpkin meringue pie from being a disaster. Although I know the basics — to start in the center and move outwards and to rotate the dough a quarter turn after each roll — I was pretty nervous about it. She suggested rolling the dough between two pieces of parchment paper.

Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough Makes a Comeback

The Basics: Pie Crust
Years ago I was one of those people who thought making pie dough from scratch was difficult, a waste of time, and downright ridiculous. If the grocery store conveniently sold premade pie crusts, why on earth would I make one? Then I realized the reason I used store bought pie dough was because I was horribly afraid of being a pie-dough failure.
Dunkin' Drinks Join Beef, Cookie Dough Ranks in Food Recall
Yesterday, Dunkin' Donuts temporarily pulled its Dunkaccino and hot chocolate drinks off store menus after discovering that one of its suppliers' facilities may have been contaminated with salmonella. The doughnut chain's supplier, Plainview Milk Products Cooperative, voluntarily recalled several of its products, although no illnesses have been traced back to the contamination. Dunkin' Donuts is confident the drinks will be back in stores soon, but yesterday's recall is simply one more to add to a rapidly growing list of food contamination concerns.
This Thanksgiving, Make Triple-Chocolate Pumpkin Pie!
Although I can't deny the deliciousness of a slice of classic, cinnamon-laced pumpkin pie, in recent years, I've expanded my horizons to somewhat non-traditional Thanksgiving desserts. Pecan pie? Surprisingly easy, yet wildly delicious.
