Saturday Recipe Round-up

Bakers Anonymous, it’s Cinco de Mayo!

And to me, that means absolutely nothing except recovering from the crazy time I had last night (huzzah for besties and “family” reunions!) and looking at wonderful recipes. Let’s see what’s happened this week, shall we?

Breakfast on a Stick – fact or fiction? Rather, I think it to be the most ingenious idea ever. Babble’s Family Kitchen has hit upon a brilliant idea with this sweet and simple breakfast. I love waffles, I love fruit and I love Cool Whip.

How don’t know how she does it, but Alaska Mom has come up with yet another wonderful recipe – Skillet Cream Puff Pie. Not only does this pie look delicious, but it’s also tres, tres simple. Hopefully, I’ll be brave enough to tackle this treat soon!

Blueberries. Cream cheese. Coffee Cake. What could be better than combining all three of these things? Confessions of a Cookbook Queen came up with this delectable breakfast? lunch? dinner? dessert? (who cares?) recipe; I really think it’s the cream cheese that puts it over the edge.

So, Lemon Curd is something I’ve never really thought about doing, but this simple, six-ingredient recipe from Satisfy My Sweet Tooth actually inspires me to go into the great culinary unknown. I can do this! I can do this?

And to wrap it all up, this wouldn’t be Bakers Anonymous without a tad more cream cheese? These cream cheese chocolate chip cookies from Bake or Break could quite possibly become my go-to cookie.

Saturday Recipe Round-up

It’s Saturday again, and what a week this has been! I’m stressed out to the max with my job search (who isn’t these days?) and the work that I’m currently doing at my office. It’s commencement season, which means lots and lots of invitations, certificates, programs and more.

Oh. And the clients want everything by next week.

Yay.

So, to calm down, I dug up some delicious recipes to share with you. Let’s see what I uncovered, eh?

Confessions of a Cookbook Queen has stolen my heart, once again, with her recipe for Devil’s Food Mini Donuts. Not only does it require NO frying (I really do hate heating up a pan of oil. Ew), but it also comes with a sweet chocolate frosting!

As usual, Alaska Mom made a beautiful new treat this week, Chewy Coconut Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars. He recipe titles are even longer than mine! And you knew I was going to feature this bar recipe once I saw the word, “coconut,” in the title.

One of these days, the weather will warm up again, and I will make these classic ice cream sandwiches from Smitten Kitchen, one of the most classy blogging ladies I know. Who doesn’t want homemade ice cream sandwich cookies? I mean, aren’t those the most delicious cookies ever?

Ah, Bakerella. Her amazing decorating techniques never fail to amaze, and her creativity was spent this week on easy little panda cupcakes. The use of chocolate chips and sprinkles are such simple ideas that I wonder why I didn’t think of it before?

And this week’s piece de resistance is something I found trending on Pinterest: Cinco de Mayo pinata cookies from SheKnows. I was absolutely stunned at the sight of these beautiful and original treats. I can’t wait to find the time to make them!

Good afternoon, Bakers Anonymous! It’s Saturday, and I’ve got stuff to do. Am I going to do it? Probably not. And that’s quite all right with me. In other news, it’s time for our weekly recipe round-up. We’ve got plenty of sweet treats for you to enjoy.

Alaska Mom made these delicious looking Banana Chocolate Chip cookies. I agree with her note to put walnuts into the cookies. Who doesn’t want a sweet crunch with their chocolate?

I found these amazing Oreo Cheesecake Bites at Six Sister’s Stuff, a blog I recently discovered on my many (many) perusings of the Internet. My favorite part of the recipe is that the cheesecake only needs to bake for 45 minutes and doesn’t require a water bath. Simplicity at its finest.

The ever lovely Confessions of a Cookbook Queen created these exorbitantly delicious Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cupcakes. Did you notice that the chocolate frosting is dipped in chocolate?!

Feeling adventurous, and maybe a little French? Try this banana bread crepe cake with butterscotch from Smitten Kitchen. You can even make the crepes by themselves and enjoy an international breakfast.

My Baking Addiction showcased these Coconut-Mocha Cupcakes. I am a huge coconut fan, not so much on the mocha, but look at that dark color! It looks so rich and dense.
