Let's Get Cookin': Delicious Recipes to Try at Home

[kam]

I got a chance to look at it at my Director's house this weekend. OMG - they did a wonderful job on this cookbook. I am so impressed.

I am SO excited that there are recipes in there for the torte pans. I don't use these pans nearly as much as I would like.

Now, I have to get off my butt and decide on the sample packs so I can place my order and get this cookbook ASAP!

I had my spring kickoff for past guests and hostesses this weekend and sold this cookbook to every guest! It's a winner

 

[floccies]

My 3 year old has claimed the cookbook. I had to hide it -- I am looking forward to making all of the recipes. (Maybe one per week? -- that will keep me busy for over a year)

 

[Pchefterza]

Would any one with the new cookbook be willing to post the smores and the lemon cookie recipe? I'm waiting for mine to arrive and have a show on saturday.
Thanks in advance

I think after introducing THIS cookbook, it would be hilarious if they come up with some incentive that included Home-Gym equipment or a fitness spa-retreat.

A reward for selling 100 cookbooks!

I made the cinnamon roll ice cream cake last weekend. It was so good ~ everyone loved it!

I made the Rocky Road Cookies for my meeting the other night & they were a HIT!
<3 this cookbook!!

I made the Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Bites last night and they are both wonderful and impressive. I brought them to the office for sampling and the consensus was that the two different levels of chocolate-y goodness from the filling and the little cookies were perfect together. One thing that I did that the recipe did not say to do -- I scraped the creme filling off the cookies that I used to line the muffin cups since I am not a big fan of the white stuff but I love the cookies.

I did not use the paper liners; I sprayed the cups with PAM and the cheesecakes came right out of the pan with just a tiny bit of encouragement from my citrus peeler. My biggest issue with making them was getting the four cookies to stand up while I scooped the filling in and even then only 2 of the 24 were real problems.​

Anyone who has made the Smore's cups...I have an open house on Saturday, could I make them Thursday night? Just wondering if you think they'd be as good. TIA!

I have a party scheduled for the 14th and I think the dessert cookbook fell off my trunk when I took off to the grocery store!!! Would anybody be willing to scan the phyllo cup with mascarpone cheese and chocolate and almonds on top??? I will re order the book, but won't get it by sunday!!!

I have tried the Black-Bottom Cherry Cheesecake and the Sweet Orange Mascarpone Tartlets. The cheesecake was good but the orange tartlets were TO DIE FOR! We made them twice in 1 week!! I did substitute cream cheese for the mascarpone and omitted the salt. The first time I added the salt and had to add additional sugar & whipped topping to make it taste ok.

 

[cookingwithdot]

yum! now I know what I want to make this weekend!!!

My 11 yo niece made the S'more Cups and she and her family loved them so much that at the show her mom is hosting next week, she will be making them for all of the guests! Maybe she'll follow in Auntie's footsteps.

I am not near the cookbook right now, but I made the Creamsicle Torte Cake (not even sure if this is the correct name) and many loved it. My headcook made the Crunchy Peanut Marshmallow things...loved them but I do not care for nuts. I also made the Strawberry Cream Cupcake Desserts...YUM!!!

I'm trying to figure out which recipe you meant... there is one for chocolate napoleons with sweet ricotta cream, or the sweet orange mascarpone tartlets that have been mentioned...

Wait a sec - you're talking about the picture - I got it now!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
8 sheets phyllo dough
1/4 cup sugar

1 orange
1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/3 cup semi-sweet choc chips, melted
toasted sliced almonds

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lay one sheet of phyllo on cutting board, spray with nonstick spray and sprinkle with sugar. Place 2nd sheet over first, matching edges and pressing to seal. Repeat to create a stack of 4 sheets, ending with phyllo and reserving half of the sugar for second stack.
2. Cut phyllo stack crosswise into four even strips, then lengthwise into 3rds, to make 12 squares. Press phyllo squares into cups of MMP. Bake 8-10 min until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.
3. Zest entire orange with m.a.g. Combine zest, cheese, powdered sugar, and salt. Fold in whipped topping. Fill EAD with filling and pipe into cooled shells (use open star tip). Microwave chocolate on high 1-2 min or until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. pour chocolate into resealable bag, trim corner, and drizzle chocolate over tartlets. Sprinkle with almonds.



Now that I've read through the entire recipe, it doesn't seem near as complicated as the picture makes it look! Yummy!

Enjoy...

I have the ingredients for the chocolate cupcakes with a truffle inside. Can't WAIT to make those. My kids want to try the smore cups. Eventually we will. I'm really enjoying the non desserts in the SBRC, so that's what I've focused on believe it or not. Oh, and the apple sprinkles. Love those, and have made the biscuit bites twice and once I made the bites with the lemon sprinkles.

I made the Firery Choc Tort at a show this week. HUGE hit. Very easy and YUMMY! I recommend this for an excellent Mexican dessert.

 

[heat123]

OMG, All of these recipes Sound Soooo YUMMY! Too bad I am in a Biggest loser competition! But that's ok... I still need to order the Cookbook!

I made the Fiery Chocolate Torte last nite and I thought the amount of cayenne in the frosting was overpowering (and I LOVE spicy things). The cake and filling were delicious, though, so I would redo this recipe but I would either leave the cayenne out of the frosting entirely or reduce it to the mearest pinch. Made with the amount called for, both hubby and I had a lingering afterburn on our tongues and down our throats that seemed very out of place with a dessert.
