Zippy Zesty Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
With the lovely weather of Summer, who wants to spend all day indoors baking? Not me! Thankfully, I came across this sweet and tart lemon confection that is quick and simple.
An Edible Floral Arrangement — Rose and Poppy Seed Cupcakes
Although rose and poppy seed was not my favorite of the 2008 flavor pairings, I couldn't help but think it would make for a great cupcake. So I set out to find a delicious poppy seed cake, and a nice rose-infused frosting. The result was a subtle floral flavor, that really took me by surprise.
Yummy Link: Poppy Seed Kolaches
I'd never heard of a kolache until yesterday, but from the look of things, I had better add them to my must bake list asap! — Simply Recipes
Kolaches Are a Taste of Central Europe in Texas
If you're not from Texas — or a few other choice towns across America — you may have never had the pleasure of eating a kolache. A Central European pastry iconic across the Lone Star State, the kolache is prized for its soft, pillowy dough and its versatility: kolache fillings range from the sweet (apricot, prunes, and poppy seeds) to the savory (sausages). And some fillings, like cheese, even possess qualities of both.
'Wich of the Week: The Ex-Boyfriend at Ike's Place
I love Ike's Place so much that I could start a 'Wich of the Week spinoff devoted solely to sandwiches from Ike's. I was hesitant to write about my new favorite sandwich place in San Francisco, since the lines are long enough already. But keeping the enormous, palate-entertaining creations to myself wouldn't be in the spirit of sandwich love.
Spring Cleaning - Clean Out the Kitchen and Spice Rack!
Boing!!!
In case you were wondering, that's the sound of a spring. Today, March 21, is the first day of spring and although I love spring, one of the things I don't enjoy 100% is spring cleaning.
Say Farewell to Old Spices
The other day reader Marni dropped a line asking whether or not her mostly unopened spice rack she received four years ago was still good. I started to respond to her, when I realized that she's probably not the only one wondering how long spices last.
First of all, spices don't necessarily "go bad."
Jazzed Up Cake Mix
Ok, so I know I've been posting guilt free desserts for the past two days, but it's Friday and I think we all deserve something a little more rich and in the form of a cake. Don't worry it's not loaded with chocolate or butter, it's a really simple recipe that jazzes up a normal cake mix with lemon flavorings and poppy seeds. My brother who doesn't cook had this cake at an office party and sent me the recipe because it was "one of the most moist cakes I've ever eaten".
