Easy Beignets

January 12, 2020 by Debbie 2 Comments

I am all about making life easy and this is how these Easy Beignets came to light. Let’s talk about beignets for a minute. Is it a dessert or breakfast? Who cares , they are delicious. If you aren’t from Louisiana or visited one of the major cities you may not have ever had them. Beignets are pronounced Ben-yay… I know I know nothing in Louisiana is pronounced the way it looks. I mean we spell go with an X..Geaux . Don’t even get me started on Tchoupitoulas, I was an adult before I got that one. Beignets are basically a fried pastry or a french doughnut served hot and smothered with powdered sugar. They are fluffy in texture , fried until golden brown and very air like. You aren’t doing it right unless you inhale a little powdered sugar when you take your first bite ,lol. …

Vanilla Crown Royal Whipped Cream

December 23, 2019 by Debbie 10 Comments

I am obsessed with experimenting with different flavors in whipped cream. This Vanilla Crown Royal Whipped Cream has become a new favorite. I actually created this for a boozy pecan pie that I miserably failed at but decided to still share the whipped cream. Why? Because it is AWESOME! I have been putting a little dollop of this on anything that will sit still. It is fabulous on my Brioche French Toast . It is also great on pie ,this one has a touch of whiskey in it and the flavor combination is a dream, Maple Walnut Pie from Vintage Kitty.

Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup

November 28, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

A few years ago I tried buttermilk syrup and fell in love, I never looked at maple syrup the same. This Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup I spiced up for the holidays and to go with my Eggnog French Toast ,but this can be used on just about anything. Don’t be scared of the bourbon , it isn’t harsh and the alcohol cooks out. It can be eliminated all together but I love the flavor , it really adds a special touch. This syrup also would be a great addition to my Spiced Pumpkin Apple Pancakes.

Chocolate Peppermint Cake Balls

November 21, 2019 by Debbie Leave a Comment

These Chocolate Peppermint Cake Balls ooze everything I love about Christmas goodies. Dark yummy chocolate and the slight minty flavor that reminds you of candy canes. I remember back in the 1990’s when I first started making cakes balls , it was usually reserved for away to use left over cake. Then everyone started making them just because. Why? Because they are frickin delicious !! Gooey yummy cake drenched with frosting in the center rolled in a ball , then coated with chocolate . I have learned a lot of tricks along the way to make these so much easier than I did back then . One of the best things I have discovered is Bada Bing Bada Boom Gourmet Chocolate from Chocoley. This is the easiest chocolate I have ever worked with and the best for coating cake balls. It stays smooth and melted , I coated all the cake balls without having to reheat it. I’ll discuss more tips and tricks but if you love chocolate and peppermint check out a few other of my recipes. Peppermint Mocha mix and Double Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are both perfect for the season.

October 28, 2019 by Debbie 2 Comments

Apparently eggnog is one of those things that people Hate or Love . How ?? I am in that LOVE category! Once I see the rich creamy eggnog hit the shelves I know the holiday season is right around the corner.
