Blueberries & Cream Cookies {Milk Bar Monday 1/28}

bbcookies3

Happy Monday! The Milk Bar Monday ladies are back at it this week and have a special recipe for you (and our last Milk Bar cookie recipe!) the blueberries and cream cookies.

I first tried the blueberries and cream cookie when I was in NYC in September. I dragged my family to the location in midtown to fulfill my Milk Bar dreams.

While in the actual store I decided to make it worth my while. I got one of each cookie available (the blueberries & cream, compost, corn, and cornflake), a slice of crack pie and a cup of the kaffir lime and caramel soft serve… I wasn’t holding anything back. [Read more...]

Strawberry Shortcake with Basil Whipped Cream {Guest Post from Culicurious}

Strawberry-Shortcake-with-Basil-Whipped-Cream

Hello everyone! Today I have my friend Addie here with a delicious guest post. Don’t forget to stop by her site, Culicurious.com to check out what I made for her! -BFB

Hi, my name is Addie Martin, and I’m the creative force behind Culicurious, a blog based on table-centered living. My main focus is recipes, but I also blog about restaurant, bar and travel experiences plus a little gardening. I’m thrilled to be here today sharing a recipe with all of you here at Big Fat Baker.

Since the new year’s upon us, many people have resolutions to eat better. I know that’s a constant goal of mine and something I am able to stick to pretty well…. most of the time! But every once in a while you need a break, an indulgence of sorts.

This recipe aims to fill that void – a strawberry shortcake made with minimal sugar and whole wheat pastry flour. Plus it’s topped with a fresh basil whipped cream. It’s sweet and rich without being “bad for you.” [Read more...]

Blueberry Punch {Krissy’s Virtual Baby Shower}

Blueberry Punch

A few months ago when some of us in the Milk Bar Monday group heard our friend Krissy was pregnant, we decided to plan a little virtual baby shower for her.

Since Krissy is having a boy and her husband is a baseball player we all tried to find some cute ways to incorporate those things.

I went with blueberries. And yes, I know blueberries are not exactly blue but I think you get the idea.

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt & Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches

A few weeks ago (when I made this ice cream) the 2 lb carton of strawberries were buy one get one free at my local grocery store. Since strawberries are one of our favorites, I stocked up.

We ended up eating quite a few and I froze some for smoothies, but the rest were bound to be ice cream.

Ice cream was in fact my original plan. But this frozen yogurt seemed easier and quicker. Plus, I had a few strawberry yogurts to use up.

This frozen yogurt recipe is one of my new favorites. I imagine you could make almost any fruit flavored frozen yogurt with this recipe.

Blueberry Muffin Cake

One of the bf’s favorite baked items is a blueberry muffin. He told me to make them at least once this summer and I finally got around to it a few weeks ago.

I was feeling nice one day and decided to make a batch for him. About 20 minutes later the oven was preheated, the batter was made, but I couldn’t find a muffin pan!

The next best option was to make this in the 9×9 pan and go the crumb cake route. While this muffin cake is not as dense as a crumb cake it still pairs well with coffee for a sweet breakfast option.
