  Yesterday ,I was trying to decide what to bake that I have not made in a long time and then something popped into my head ,BAGELS! I don't know where the idea for bagels came from,but it continue to stay in my mind till I could no longer shake it off.Then I came to remember I had a recipe from high school for making plain bagels;however I wanted something with lots of flavor so I chose to add a combination of Italian spices and cheese to the recipe.   When people hear the word bagel, don't most instantly think breakfast food, right? don't they? Well I always certainly do, especially with those toasted bagels with cream cheese spread on both halves,yummy.Bagels may me thought of as a breakfast food instantly, but we should all remember not to strictly label bagels because their are so many different varieties that can count for breakfast,lunch,or dinner food. With these certain kind of bagels they could fit in all the categories .The Ita...

Yay ! Brownies! I'll have to give blame as while as credit to my sister, my brother in- law and my nephew for putting brownies in my head;however for people to know I don't mean literally stacking brownies in an open head.That really would just ruin these delicious simple brownies. These brownies come from one of my high school recipes, but I added the nuts for my personal touch to the baking.These delicious wonders have got the slight texture of fudge, a nutty texture and all around chewy. Their not terribly rich like fudge is,but its enough chocolate flavor where people end up coming back for more.They have a lovely appearance as you can see, where the glaze is given great emphasis to the hazelnuts.

These are pizzaladiere which are France's answer to a pizza. These are definitely tasty little appetizers to serve at a party,a lunch or as a side dish at a dinner.They have a lovely flavour combo of sweet,savory, spicy, and buttery.The texture is a combination of thin layers of pastry and a crunchy exterior. They also have a pizza like appearance. I saw these recipes on the show "Rachel Allen Bake!" and the recipes are posted on the "Good Food Channel" website which is linked in red at the bottom of the page.Anyways,she mentioned you can make it with shortcrust pastry or puff pastry.I chose to make puff pastry. The puff pastry recipe choice is quite time consuming due to the fact of the rolling,folding and chilling to achieve the thin layers of pastry;however in the end you achieve a unique texture and flavour. This recipe was a new learning experience for me, who has never made a puff pastry till now.I enjoy myself in making the puff pastry and it ac...

These are some delightful, rich, crunchy and chewy chocolate cookies.Also with the added bonus of pieces of chocolate chunks on top for appearance and dried cranberries mixed in the cookie dough to add a sweetness to it. This simple and fast recipe comes from my Foods 12 course. In the course we as well used this cookie recipe to make vanilla ice cream sandwiches, those were definitely a good hit with the class. These kinds of cookies spread a lot to become large thinner cookies instead of smaller and thicker cookies. However with this cookies you get the great texture of crunchy and chewy without being thicker. Enjoy! What I did in the recipe: Cut up chunks of semisweet baker chocolate and place pieces on top of cookie dough before baking. Added cranberries to the cookie dough.
