burnt basque cheesecake
This is sort of the anti-cheesecake. You don’t need to make the parchment paper neat around it. In fact, put a lot of creases along the sides with the parchment paper, it adds character. You don’t need to bake it at a low temperature, you don’t need multiple temperatures, and you don’t need to put…

olive oil mascarpone cupcakes
If you don’t know whether you’ll enjoy the subtle flavor of olive oil in a sweet thing, give these a try! I was surprised how much I liked these! They are easy to make, too. I think what I enjoy most is that they are oh-so subtley different from plain ol’ vanilla cupcakes. I mean, these ARE…

Plus, the resulting cheesecake promised to be “unbelievably silky” from the steam…

Bacon, Chorizo, and Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
As I write this, the Seahawks are leading the Broncos 36-0! This was among our Super Bowl snacks. We also had nachos, a loaf of saffron bread, and yellow cake with chocolate sour cream frosting. Stay tuned for posts on those! The only thing different I did from the original recipe was to add about…
