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...]

We are back!

I know it’s be a little while since I’ve posted …school tends to get in the way of blogging… but when I received an email from Audra asking us if we were ready to bring Christina Tosi back into our lives, I couldn’t resist.

As I’m sure you know by now, the Momofuku Milk Bar is one of my all time favorite cookbooks and the group we have created around it is totally awesome!

So I’m happy to say that we are back at it, and as a result you will have more wonderful Milk Bar recipes to taunt your tastebuds.

Jacqueline eased us back in with her recipe choice, Tosi’s take on a delicious Peanut Butter Cookie.

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.

Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes I struggle with the basic chocolate chip cookie. I don’t know what it is about those basic cookie recipes, but they rarely turn out perfect.

To avoid making ugly cookies, I started messing around with other flavors and recipes  to get the “perfect” cookies.

Now I’m not saying these are perfect, but they are pretty darn close. Chewy, soft, melt-in-your-mouth buttery and utterly addicting.

Remember that gianduja gelato I made? Well I had some extra hazelnut paste laying around so I mixed that into the cookie dough. Yum! [Read more...]
