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...]

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.

Angel Food Cupcakes

One of my favorite store bough cakes when I was growing up was angel food cake.

Top it with a little fresh fruit or whipped cream, or even in a trifle it is just heavenly.

This recipe would be good made as a regular angel food cake in a tube pan or angel food cake pan. But I decided to go with regular old cupcakes.

Angel food cupcakes were the perfect single serving size. Good for an easy dessert or tasty snack.

One thing I would change about how I made my cupcakes is my preparedness. I did not have my little stands positioned the right distance apart and ended up smashed a few of my cupcakes.

Note: I made my trifle with 1 cupcake, 2 strawberries, a few spoonfuls of vanilla pudding and a mint garnish. It was tasty and super easy! [Read more...]

It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal day! I am excited about today. For some reason it seems like’s it been a long time since March’s reveal day when I made apple pancakes.

I was excited to find her scone recipe. As I’m sure you can tell, I’ve been on a strawberry kick.

The scones are light and fluffy, and delicious warmed up with a big cup of coffee in the morning.

Strawberry Rhubarb Hand Pies #SundaySupper

I am so excited to be participating in another #SundaySupper! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to join in on the fun, but this weekend finally worked out.

This #SundaySupper is focused on showers – as in baby and bridal showers.

This time of year is lovely for both of those things. So I tried to think of something “springy.”

My bf is a big fan of strawberry rhubarb pie and suggests it often. Strawberry rhubarb screams spring to me, so I decided to go with it this time and make little hand pies.

I like the half moon shape of the hand pies, but if you want a fun shape go for it! Hearts would be cute.

Thank you to Isabel at Family Foodie for letting me jump in on this one and Liz Lange for helping plan the perfect shower! And don’t forget to check out the other #SundaySupper recipes from Renee at Magnolia Day and Sunithi at Sue’s Nutrition Buzz. [Read more...]
