Cast Sugar: French Bread

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2008/02/french-bread.html

8220;The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a 'What the hell? This one's for my dad. Suddenly my dad said, “Julia Child died! Ethnic foods and fancy meringue and yeast breads from scratch? No, oh no no no. Too intimidating. I'd screw it up, I just knew it. So I left them alone. And she trained at the Cordon Bleu! She brought French cooking to the masses! Get over it, move on, and try again. What a great philosophy on cooking, such a remarkable woman. It was actual...

Cast Sugar: Tart Lime Bars

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2009/06/tart-lime-bars.html

This one is on honor of the Hubs, whose insatiable lime addiction overtook me during this pregnancy thing. Along with key lime pie, this was one of the rare recipes that was able to tame my cravings. At least for a little while. Originally an Ina Garten recipe, Deb upped the salt and concentrated the filling, making for a more even crust:filling ratio. Of course, on top of this I wanted a much more tart filling, so I changed the flavor to lime (yummy! Adapted from Smitten Kitchen. 1/2 c granulated sugar.

Cast Sugar: Ambrosia Macaroons

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2008/12/ambrosia-macaroons.html

Recently I had a few long-ish flights to a 4-day business meeting that I was attending. I did my usual, stocked up on a few magazines and grabbed a book. This time, I picked up. Because I was hearing about this "Twilight Phenomenon" and how it was "the New. For our time" from practically everyplace I went. It was on sale for like 3 bucks, so why not. So have you read this yet? Yeah, it was insanely awesome.). Oh, and easy. Did I mention the easy? They totally are. So give them a shot. 1/8 tsp. salt.

Cast Sugar: Fresh Strawberry Bars

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2009/06/fresh-strawberry-bars.html

More strawberry goodness, this time on top of a lovely, soft-yet-hefty peanut butter base. From. Better Homes and Gardens. Now, some people thought it was funny that I get. Better Homes and Gardens. Magazine, but to them I just want to say: dudes, you're missing out. Yeah, it has a faint whiff of 90s outdated dork-fest, but I seriously would not have the faintest idea how to take care of a yard/garden without it. Great magazine for beginners! Like a really fresh-tasting PB&J sandwich :). 1/4 tsp. salt.

Cast Sugar: Mango Muffins

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2009/06/mango-muffins.html

So, the Tuesdays with Dorie folks made Dorie's mango bread a few weeks ago. It looked totally good, but when I saw that Caitlin. Made muffins instead, I was sold. I am always up for a good muffin recipe! And mangoes were super-cheap at the market that week, a sign of fate that I needed to try these out. Yummy nonetheless, though! But these were just delicious and not too heavy, which I loved. Plump raisins, juicy mango, fantastic mix of spices. Once again, Dorie's recipe is a winner. 1 tsp baking powder.

Cast Sugar: Mini Lime Pavlovas

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2009/05/mini-lime-pavlovas.html

Yeah, you wanna talk about where I've been? Here's the best part, the total kicker - um, I haven't had a baby. Nope, not yet. Just got a terrible case of the "Busy Bee! S and haven't had time to type anything up and post to the beloved blog. Yeah, I know - I pretty much suck at this blogging thing these days. But! I've been able to spend a lot of quality-time with friends and family galore before this Robot of ours shows up, so I won't let the blog make me feel too terribly guilty. Zest of 1/2 of a lime.

Cast Sugar: Carrot Cake

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2008/03/carrot-cake.html

Happy Easter Wishes to everyone! Thought perhaps this cake would be an appropriate post today, given bunnies and carrots and all that :). I made this cake for a coworker's birthday. Never attempted carrot cake before, and now I'm wondering why not! I've always loved the frosting (cream cheese, mmmm). The cake, though? This cake was very good. The shredded carrot was soft and only detectable in that it gave the cake a sweet, mellow "carrot" flavor (sorry, how else does one describe that? The frosting, I w...

Cast Sugar: Tinnie Cheesecake

http://castsugar.blogspot.com/2009/04/tinnie-cheesecake.html

I made my last trip (for awhile, anyway) down to see family this past weekend - and they were kind enough to make me a lovely lunch and shower the baby Robot with gifts :) I am spoiled and so is this child, I've decided. I'm spoiled mostly because my sister Miss Tinnie brought out the big guns, and made her awesome cheesecake. 1/2 c Bisquick biscuit mix. 1 c pecans, chopped. 3/4 c dark brown sugar. 1 stick unsalted butter. 5 pkgs. (40 oz.) cream cheese, softened to room temperature. 16 oz whipped topping.
