Blogwatch: Apple Cider Cake Doughnuts
I recently made apple cider doughnuts too! They're a little different from these as they have apples in the batter and have a a sweet tangy apple cider glaze in addition to the cinnamon and sugar coating! I go nuts for apple cider doughnuts every fall, and it's so nice to be able to make them at home too!

pumpkin squares with cream cheese frosting! But I'm going to be making pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin whoopie pies, and pumpkin scones this week, so maybe I'll have a new favorite!
Cook the Book: 'The Craft of Baking'
A molten flourless chocolate cake from Conundrum in Freeport, ME. It had to be the most amazing cake ever. Molten chocolate cake can pretty much be found anywhere nowadays, but this was a molten chocolate cake on a pedestal. It was fudgy and oozy .... like chocolate cake and brownie batter brought together.

Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
I made pumpkin whoopie pies with a cinnamon whipped cream filling. And then I made some with chocolate in them and a chocolate ganache filling. There are so many options!

Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Mine was the Joy of Cooking. My mother used it often, and when I moved out, she gave me a copy. I still look up some of the basics in it.
Cook the Book: 'Bite-Size Desserts'
I LOVE making bite-sized desserts. I added this book to my Amazon wishlist as soon as I heard about it. Really, anything can be made miniature, but I especially love mini tarts... any flavor... they just look adorable in mini form, and it's great to have such small portions because you can eat a bunch of different kinds without getting full!
Do You Have a Favorite Greek Yogurt?
I love Fage! Oikos is a very distant second. Chobani is chalky and not so good.
Weekend Cook and Tell Roundup: 'Julie & Julia'
I made her thon a la provencale recently

And also bisuit au buerre and filled layers of it with chantilly aux fraises
I don't know French, so I'm sorry if I mangled those names!
Dinner Tonight: Peach Caprese Salad
This looks delicious! I'm actually eating a traditional (tomato) caprese salad for lunch today.
Macarons should be the new cupcakes
That would be awesome! I wish it were easy to find macarons around here. I made them once, and they are difficult, but I don't think it's be too hard once you get it down. And flavor possibilities are endless. Wheels are turning...
@smallblondemom - They are macarons (French) to distinguish from the coconut macaroons, which would not make it far at all in a contest to be the new cupcake.
The 'United Plates': Food-Themed Prints of All 50 States
Why does CT get a TV dinner. That is sad. We are the nutmeg state... could have at least done nutmeg.
Cook the Book: Swiss Chard Flan
Given that I don't like swiss chard or flan, this sounds absolutely horrible. I'm contemplating making it just to see if it's better than it sounds. "[T]he lightest quiche filling imaginable" makes it sound delightful...
Kids Can Make Dumplings More Slowly with Bandai's Gyoza Maker
It looks like a ravioli maker. I guess kids might enjoy it because it looks like something that would come with a tub of Playdough.
Honestly, I think the pleats come out much nicer when done by hand. I made my first batch not too long ago, and I loved the pleating. This "machine" takes that aspect away.
Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'
Bacon, cheddar, grilled or fried onions, ketchup, and mustard.... and the burger must be pink and juicy!

Who Makes the Best Vanilla Ice Cream?
I think I would have listed them in the same order as you, without even doing the taste test. Although I would have thought Edy's would have taken 3rd place.
A Berry Balanced Breakfast
We've been making pre-gym smoothies with Greek yogurt, orange juice, and berries. Yum!!
All-Star Sandwich Bar in Cambridge, Mass.
That's my sandwich bar! :o) My boyfriend and I go there more times than I'd like to admit (close to once a week). The cheese and the funky are just specials and change on a daily basis (the monte cristo is available once a week). There's also a daily veggie and extra funky. I never run out of choices. But my standbys are the meatloaf minus the hot sauce and the BLT. Just last week I had an awesome sandwich with hummus and veggies. The menu is so creative and whimsical. They throw things together I would never think of pairing and make amazing sandwiches. And I've never tried it, but my boyfriend loves their chili (as does Bon Appetit).
French in a Flash: Pain au Chocolat Cinnamon Rolls with Crème Fraîche Icing and Walnuts
I made these this weekend, and they were delicious!! Thanks for the recipe! I think I'll be making these often!
http://megan-deliciousdishings.blogspot.com/2009/05/pain-au-chocolat-cinnamon-rolls.html
Healthy & Delicious: Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
I am always looking for new mayo-free pasta salads! I'll have to add this one to the list. (It's similar to one I've made with lemon zest and tomatoes... but then you also add dill and feta! Yum!)
Dinner Tonight: Asparagus and Rice Soup
I made a note to myself to make this soup as soon as I saw the recipe while flipping through the Zuni Cafe Cookbook! Haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'm happy to see it got your approval!
Shopping Like a Private Chef with Boston's Kenny Jervis

Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
These are incredible. I am throwing out my pumpkin roll recipe and bringing these to Thanksgiving! Husband, toddlers, and grandma all loved these mini whoopie pies. Wouldn't change a thing about the recipe (I used the small scoop).
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Made these tonight for the first time... absolutely delicious! But for me, the pumpkin purée makes them almost TOO moist (a better problem to have than not). Might try increasing the dry ingredients just a bit for the next go 'round.

Do You Have a Favorite Greek Yogurt?
Cabot's Plain Greek Style Yogurt is absolutely wonderful! The price is right, too....much less expensive that Fage. Trader Joe's brand yogurt is also very good....especially the Honey flavoured. I like plain yogurt with a dollop of lemon curd....YUMMY!
Fage is fine but way too expensive.....rather make it myself than pay that amount. Oixos and Chobani, not so much.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
PS - I think that my making these made my boyfriend want to marry me. also, they taste like donuts.
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
THESE ARE FREAKING DELICIOUS. I followed the recipe pretty much exactly and these turned out AMAZING. oh man. My boyfriend and I ate, like, 10 of them. YUMMMMMM. definitely going to make them for turkey day. a great alternative to pumpkin pie!
Cook the Book: Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Hi! I made these for our monthly Sunday Waffles (a standing invite to our friends and family to join us on the first Sunday of each month for delicious home-made waffles and bacon) and while the Whoopie Pies were yummy, they weren't quite "right." For starters, my sliders were more flat and lacked the texture and height of the pies in the photo above. Secondly, I used bakers sugar and attempted to sift it, per the instructions. The sugar was so fine, it fell through the sifter. Even so, there was still a slight gritty texture to the filling. Is that because I used a low fat cream cheese? I'm not sure how to rectify the structure of the pies (more flour?) and I think a different low(er) sugar cream cheese filling would really make the whole experience pop. People loved them (also said they were quite rich) and ate all but the last two.

Blogwatch: Apple Cider Cake Doughnuts
Last weekend I made my first batch of Aebleskivers, and I wasn't all that thrilled with them. This weekend I may give these donuts a try.

OMG just looking at that donut is making me salivate - and I don't even like donuts that much. HAVE to make these this weekend!

Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. A few years ago, we had a two pumpkin desserts at our Thanksgiving dinner -- a pumpkin pie a la Mom, and a pumpkin gooey butter cake made by my daughter. The Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake one hands down. It is decadent, but it is Holiday-worthy!
