Fudge Frosting

A quick post today for a quick but delicious frosting recipe. This is easy to make in a single saucepan, simple to whip up, and delectable enough for company - or just for yourself and a spoon!

I'm going to go ahead and warn you right now: this is evil frosting. It's made with lots of butter and sugar and chocolate, and it practically begs to be eaten right out of the pot. That's okay with me. That's VERY okay with me. But if it's not okay with you, you might want to check out a different post. A healthy post. Like tofu. Or soup.

Bread Pudding with Vanilla Bourbon Sauce

 

Bread pudding is really not a summery sort of food. But today I was thinking about what I wanted to make for dessert, and the thought of rich, custardy bread pudding with sweet, creamy sauce just wouldn't get out of my head. Before I even realized it, I was surfing for recipes! And oh my, was I not sorry at all that I decided to make this.

The great thing about bread pudding is that if you have some stale bread, an egg or two, and some kind of dairy, you can make it easily. You don't need crazy ingredients or fancy tools to make a really comforting, delicious dessert. Just like Grandma used to make! 

Peachberry Tart

I have been absolutely dying to use my new tart pan for almost a month now, and yesterday I finally found an opportunity. It's a non-stick, removable bottom, lifetime warranty pan from Wilton, and if you don't have any of their spectacular products I suggest you get some, because they're wonderful. I'm planning to make tons of tarts over the next few weeks - sweet tarts, savory tarts, every tart I can think of!

We had a bowl of freshly-picked blackberries sitting in the fridge, and a flat of peaches, and they just screamed "make us into a delicious summer tart!" Well, when the fruit starts talking to you, I reckon you'd better listen to it! I decided to modify and combine several recipes into one, and the result, I must say, was scrumptious, and a perfect end to a summer meal.
