CK’s co-workers called them “Re-dunk-u-lous.” http://www.grouprecipes.com/62662/fresh-peach-and-oat-muffins.html These are by far my favorite pops from our "Popsicle Week" adventures. How can you possibly not love anything that looks like a rocket ship?! And they're green to boot, although I'm quite sure that real aliens probably don't taste like pistachios. http://www.grouprecipes.com/61122/pistachio-pudding-rocket-pops.html My first batch of Root Beer Float pops bubbled up and created a sticky lava flow all over the frozen broccoli and chicken breasts in my freezer. So you'd think that the second time I made them I'd manage to not repeat the same mistake twice, right? ... http://www.grouprecipes.com/61121/root-beer-float-pops.html Thankfully these pops are awesome because I think I gave myself temporary carpal tunnel syndrome after juicing eight limes by hand with a ridiculously flimsy plastic juicer. http://www.grouprecipes.com/60699/mojito-pops.html Elinor Klivans, the author of The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook, or perhaps her production team, had the good sense to include a heavenly reproduction of the Chocolate Chip Filled Melting Moment cookies. I couldn’t possibly resist the airy qualities of these treats. Even full of sugar and butter they retain a light and delicate texture that screams Victorian tea party. So invite over Mrs. Havisham, Pip, and company and dig in. These cookies go quickly. Note: I actually doubled the filling in the below recipe. I’m a bit of a glutton when it comes to cookie filling. You can follow my example or not, but I’m definitely of the “more is best” camp when it comes to buttery icings. http://www.grouprecipes.com/57996/chocolate-chip-filled-melting-moments.html This dish is a perfect example of why everyone has urged and pleaded with us our whole lives to read through a recipe in its entirety before starting to recreate it. It’s really not just something your mother says to wind you up or question your cooking abilities. Case in point, these ricotta pancakes that almost made me quit cooking for good. No sympathy please. It was my own fault. http://www.grouprecipes.com/56633/ricotta-lemon-pancakes.html After examining the CakeLove cookbook I decided to attempt the decidedly Summer appropriate Mojito Pound Cake. To answer your burning question, yes, it really does taste like a Mojito! Actually it tastes like a great Mojito, not one of those ghastly drinks you get from a hurried bartender because they think you’re a jerk for ordering one in the middle of a rush, but a carefully made, simple syrup, and seriously muddled Mojito that makes you sit back and say, “Ahhhhh…” http://www.grouprecipes.com/55032/mojito-pound-cake.html Over the last five weeks I’ve thrown out five avocados. How horrible is that! I feel guilty every time I have to toss the poor guys into the trash, but I just haven’t been able to think of a anything to do with them other than possibly make guacamole... http://www.grouprecipes.com/53767/avocado-toast.html These marshmallow treats complete with ragged edges and a slightly indecipherable shape are my virtual gift to my Mom today. I hope that she appreciates the fact that I’m not actually going to make her eat them, and that she enjoys the real gifts that are currently hurtling their way to her in a big brown UPS truck. I cross my heart and promise that the box does not contain a dead plant! Happy Mother’s Day Wummy! Thanks for always cleaning up after those crazy messes I made in the kitchen and for not yelling at me too much when I’d get into the spice cupboard and make “potions” with the oregano, mustard, and bouillon cubes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/53504/fruity-butterfly-treats.html A perfect breakfast dish for a lazy Sunday morning. http://www.grouprecipes.com/53496/french-toast-with-rum-bananas.html
