Midnight Black Chocolate Pudding

October 17, 2011

So there’s this thing about me. I really really don’t like making Halloween treats.  Tombstone cupcakes.  Spider web cookies.  Witch finger snacks.  Please… just please.  I can’t get into it.  I don’t want things to look dead, or bugged, or dismembered. I want things to look sweet and chocolatey and dripping with caramel… and not [...]

Butterscotch Pudding with Caramelized Bananas and Cream

March 18, 2011

Fancy smelling dish soap and a fresh sponge are a luxury. Lotion next to the kitchen sink is a luxury. Fresh dish towels are a necessity. Not-so-fancy olive oil is a necessity . Fancy olive oil is a luxury. Homemade pudding is a luxury… sometimes a necessity… depends on the day. A full bottle of [...]

Deb’s Caramel Pudding

April 22, 2010

I love when my kitchen is full of hot sugar and warm milk that turns into caramel pudding. I love when my kitchen is full of new friends (see Jill, above) who aren’t shy about going in for a giant dollop of whipped cream on their caramel pudding.

Mocha Hot Fudge Sauce

January 8, 2010

I figured it out! I finally figured out the answer to all of those desert island questions!  You know… if you were stranded on a desert island blah blah blah…  It turns out the answer is always always always hot fudge. Watch.  I’m sure you’ll agree. Q:  If you were trapped on a desert island, [...]

Persimmon Pudding

October 18, 2009

Persimmon Pudding, from tree to table. Step One:  Find a neighbor with a gorgeous, almost cartoon like persimmon tree.  Ask your Mom to help you pick persimmons… Mom always likes to help. Step Two:  Entice neighbor and Mamabear with the promise of fresh baked persimmon pudding if you’re granted access to their persimmon tree. Step [...]

Milk Chocolate Pudding with Cream and Raspberry Sauce

May 4, 2009

I was notorious in my family for being the child that could only be comforted by my mother. Most playful family weekends, the scene went something like this:  I’d be in the backyard playing with my little sister, my dad and Scamper, the family dog on our creaky, rusted and awesomely fun swing set.  My [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

February 18, 2009

Pie takes time.  Pie requires attentions.  Pie demands love and care.  Pie, even for an everyday baker like me, is a lost art. I needed a good, old fashioned, pie contest to help me slow down, take a breath, and dream up the most delicious pie I could. The most delicious thing I could dream [...]

Lemon Souffle Pudding

January 21, 2009

I’m going to need a day to digest the Fancy Food Show. In the meantime, I thought I’d present you with this Lemon Souffle Pudding. I often think of myself as a mash up of the time I’ve spent in the world so far. In essence I feel like a messy concoction of parents, siblings, [...]

Vanilla Bean Rice Pudding

January 5, 2009

Something happened last night- It involved me, my space heater, a few comforters, season one of Pushing Daisies, a spoon, and an entire container of chilled rice pudding. I realized two things last night. One: while Pushing Daisies is beautiful and charming, it’s almost too sweet. It is still, however, an effective way to wish [...]

Butterscotch Pudding with Bourbon Whipped Cream and Toffee

October 6, 2008

I was trying to come up with some charming childhood anecdote to accompany these butterscotch puddings, when I came to the blunt realization that I didn’t like pudding as a child. In fact, I may have purely despised the stuff. My only exposure to pudding came in the occasional lunch time trade with a friend [...]

Down to my last Egg

July 6, 2008

What do you do when you’re down to your last egg?  Either cry about it or make Chocolate Pudding with Almond Whipped Cream.  In my case, I did both. I know this is only a food blog, but I’m sure you all won’t mind if I get something off my chest.  I’m sad.  I’m puffy [...]

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

June 29, 2008

I love comfort.  Ok.. I know that’s a stupid thing to say.  Who doesn’t like comfort?  That’s like saying that kittens are cute.  Not so controversial right? Well, this Banana Pudding Ice Cream is an exploration in comfort.  I absolutely love banana pudding.  It not just the pudding, it’s the fresh whipped cream and vanilla [...]

Old Fashioned Chocolate Pudding

April 7, 2008

Sometimes I just need the comfort of pudding to make things right in my world.  There is something about the smooth texture, slight chill and sweet chocolate goodness that can ease anything from extracted wisdom teeth to a broken heart.  It can even ease the pain of a crazy concoction your Mom may have tried [...]
