Ritz Pecan Pie Nov 5th 2011, 09:43 A while ago, we had friends over for dinner and a movie. They brought this pie. Aileen said that this Ritz Pecan Pie was the only Pecan Pie she knew growing-up. It wasn't until she moved to the south that she learned about a Southern Pecan Pie. Thanks Aileen for the great company and sharing your recipe for this very tasty Ritz Pecan Pie.

Desserts / Baking: What's Hot Now: Flirty Aprons

Desserts / Baking: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Flirty Aprons Nov 5th 2011, 10:06 The Bottom Line If you're looking for the perfect gift for the baker and dessert maker in your life, a Flirty Apron should be at the top of your list. Don't want to wait for someone to give you one? Pamper yourself, and buy your own. You're worth it. It makes working in the kitchen so much more fun. Pros Flirty Aprons make aprons for women, children and me. Flirty Aprons are aprons with Style, with a capital S. They are made of a double layer of strong fabric. Flirty Aprons are made to fit the real women of today. The ties are generous, and so are the fronts. They are wash and wear. Cons Although, I appreciate the generous ties, they are touch the floor when I hang my apron up. The worst part about Flirty Aprons is deciding which one to buy. Description Just a few of the aprons to choose from: Mint-a-liscious - A light green apron with 3 rows of ruffles at the bottom. Little Black Dress - A black apron pipped with a white polka dot trim complete with a string of pearls sewn to the front. Frosted Cupcake (pictured) - besides being make of the cupcake pattern, there's a large pocket in the front. Sugar and Spice - A black apron with small white polka dots. The pocket is off to the side embellished with a pink bow. There are over 50 other styles including those for children and men. Guide Review - Flirty Aprons The first time I put on my Flirty Apron, I feel like the glamor days of June Cleaver, of Leave it to Beaver, were back. All that was missing was the hose and heels. Not only can a Flirty Apron can make you feel special, but they are very useful, too. They are sturdy and help keep the spills and splatters off of your clothes. Also, they come out of the wash looking good wash after wash.

Edible Christmas Gifts Nov 4th 2011, 10:34 Each year it's a big deal trying to decide what to give my daughter's teachers as Christmas or end-of-year gifts. So far the biggest response we got the year we gave brownies. Teachers would come up to me in the hallways for months telling me how much they really loved the brownies. Packaging Homemade Gifts Tips for Mailing Homemade Goodies Step by Step Photo Instructions for Packing Those Goodies Here's a list of delicious baked goods to give you a few options for your Christmas holiday gift-giving. 1. Homemade Candy Like Chocolate-Peanut Clusters Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. My daughter's teachers just go "nuts" over these candies. To make it even better, for us anyway, is that they're very easy to make. These Chocolate-Peanut Clusters are made using the crockpot. My sister-in-law delivers tins and tins of Peanut Brittle to her friends and neighbors each Christmas season. She typically makes hers with dry roasted peanuts. The last time I made it with cashews. That was a nice change. I think salted almonds would work too. Try These Too - Nut Rocca Candy Rhonda's Butterscotch Heath Candy Recipe Spicy Sesame Peanut Candy Marble Bark 2. Brownies - The Ultimate Brownie Recipe is The Best Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. I can't say enough how much I love these Ultimate Brownies. They're a cross between a cakey-brownie and a fudgy-brownie. These are the brownies that the school coaches went nuts over. Boozy Brownies Chocolate Frosted Brownies Flavored Brownies Mrs. Quinn's Easy Brownies Royal Brownies Texas Brownies 3. Jar Mixes Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. If you've got some wannabe bakers on your gift list, then cookie ingredients in a jar is the perfect gift for them. Neatly layer the dry ingredients in a pretty jar, add the recipe and all they need to provide is the wet ingredients. Besides being tasty, these gifts can be decorative too. 4. Cookies Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. You just can't go wrong with giving cookies at this time of year. Either purchase one of those cute holiday-themed tins or a wicker basket lined with a Christmas napkin to hold the cookies. Some of the cookies I like to give (and get!) are: Butter Spritz Cookies (pictured),Thumbprints, Snickerdoodles (love all of that cinnamon), Macaroons and Neapolitans (using red and green food coloring.) Lintzer Cookies Rosette Cookies Pecan Tassies Sugar Cookies 5. Barcardi Rum Cake or Other Bundt Cakes Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. Speaking of different sized pans, the Nordic Ware Mini Cake Pans are perfect for dividing this recipe for Bacardi Rum Cake among your best friends. All Bundt Cakes can be made this way. Tunnel of Fudge Bundt Cake Hazelnut Bundt Cake Lemon Poke Cake Cinnamon Bundt Cake Limoncello Bundt Cake Brown Sugar Pound Cake Crème de Menthe Cake Black Russian Cake Fresh Lemon Pound Cake Sour Cream Chocolate Chip 6. Truffles Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. Making your own truffles can be a very personal gift. You may not want to give these to just anybody. Amaretto Truffles Easy Chocolate Truffles Chocolate Truffles Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles Low Fat Mint Truffles 7. Fudge Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. For me, Sweet and Salty Fudge is always a winner as a Christmas gift. I used to give this fudge to my landlord may years ago. Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge Russian Fudge Crunchy Fudge Walnut Fudge Marshmallow Creme Fudge 8. Sugared Nuts Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. This may be what we're giving this year. I'm sure I'll make these Sugared Nuts with either pecans or walnuts. It all depends on which ones look the best. Prefer Them Just Salty? More Sweet Snack Treats White Trash Popcorn TReats White Chocolate Covered Pretzels Peanut and Pretzel Bark 9. Muffins and Other Quick Breads Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. Don't you just love all of the different-sized pans they have these days for loaves and muffins. A small loaf of Irish Spice Bread or a basket full of Chocolate-Chocolate Chunk Mini-Muffins sound like great gifts to me. Zucchini Bread Sweet Potato Bread Coconut Bread World's Best Pumpkin Bread Spicy Ginger Pear Bread Fresh Peach Bread Chocolate Zucchini Muffins Maraschino Cherry Nut Bread Kumquat Nut Bread 10. Homemade Bread Along With Flavored Butters and/or Spreads Photo © Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc. Doesn't a freshly-baked loaf of bread just sound like a fantastic gift to you? Take it a step further and give them a small jar of homemade flavored butter along with the bread. It doesn't matter if the bread comes out of your oven or the bread machine. It's the thought that counts.
