17-25: Almond Rolls

Jamie Martin Group 17: Baked Goods, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods December 31, 2016September 5, 2020all-purpose flour, almond paste, almonds, baked goods, baking cups, baking soda, breakfast, brown sugar, buns, butter, Christmas, cinnamon, dessert, dough, egg wash, eggs, fairly expensive, fairly hard, filling, food processor, gift ideas, granulated sugar, herbs and spices, holiday baking, kneaded, melted, milk, nuts, party food, proofed, rolls, sliced, snacks, untested, vanilla extract, vegetarian, XMAS 16, yeast

17-25: Almond Rolls are kind of a bonus holiday baking (XMAS 16) post for me–only one person received the bulk of these, as they made up part of a week-long Secret Santa gift-giving event that my work puts on. ?? My giftee for Secret Santa not only got these, but a batch of 17-9: Brownies with toasted hazelnuts both in the batter and on top, as well as a batch of my family’s chocolate chip cookie recipe with red & green M&Ms swapped in for semisweet bits. ??

These almond rolls are similar to cinnamon rolls/buns, and like the recipe that Simply Delicious provides for cinnamon rolls, these ones lack a glaze/icing as well. However, given the sweetness of the filling and the fact that these are a gift for someone, I’ll forgo adding icing on my own this time. ?

17-49: Apple Muffins

Adam Martin Group 17: Baked Goods, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods December 30, 2016November 8, 2020all-purpose flour, apples, autumn, baked goods, baking cups, baking powder, breakfast, butter, candied, chopped, cinnamon, cored, cut in, dessert, diced, eggs, fall, fruit, gift ideas, ginger, half-and-half, hazelnuts, herbs and spices, holiday baking, Hutton house, milk, muffins, powdered sugar, revisited, salt, sifted, snacks, streusel, vegetarian, winter, XMAS 16

My contribution to this year’s holiday baking (XMAS 16) consists of two recipes which include my favorite fruit: Apples! ? ? ?

I ended up multiplying this recipe by 3, which gave us more than enough apple muffins for the holiday gifts. ?

The notes on the front of the card are from Jamie’s mom. I made this recipe once before when I had a lot of apples laying around.

16-52: Apple Nut Saucepan Torte

Jamie Martin Group 16: Pies & Cakes, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods November 28, 2016November 5, 2020à la mode, all-purpose flour, apples, apricots, autumn, baked goods, baking powder, baking soda, boiled, breakfast, brown sugar, butter, cake pan, cakes, caramelized, cast-iron, cherries, chopped, cinnamon, cored, currants, dessert, diced, dried fruit, eggs, fairly easy, fairly inexpensive, fall, fruit, fruitcake, gift ideas, golden raisins, granulated sugar, grated, herbs and spices, hot desserts, melted, nuts, oranges, papaya, party food, pecans, peeled, pineapple, raisins, snacks, springform pan, TGV 2016, Thanksgiving, torte, untested, vanilla extract, vegetarian, zested

One of the two desserts I made for this year’s Thanksgiving (TGV 2016) was 16-52: Apple Nut Saucepan Torte (the other was 15-49: Chocolate Pudding Deluxe). I wanted something “of the season”, and this seemed like a cross between apple pie and fruitcake.

This was the second dish I made, starting off the Wednesday 11/23 portion of my holiday cooking marathon. Since this cake holds well at room temperature, I planned to just slightly underbake it, and then finish it off for 5-10 minutes in a preheated oven to warm it up for dessert on the day of the holiday.

If I hadn’t made this for Thanksgiving, I think it’d make a great gift (mailed or delivered in person) or potluck dish, especially for an office or somewhere where it would sit for a while. Even though Thanksgiving is over for the year, it’s totally still the season for a cake like this one.

Other dishes I made on this night (Wed. 11/23): the dressing for 1-10: Seafood Louisiana Cocktail, cranberry sauce, 15-49: Chocolate Pudding Deluxe, and a roasted garlic & herb butter to serve with 17-5: Hot Seedy Rolls.

17-57: Coffee Cake Wreath

This recipe, 17-57: Coffee Cake Wreath is really delicious and the wreath presentation is really pleasing to the eye. ?

Our kitchen equipment collection has been curated by Jamie over the years. We have the perfect pair of scissors to cut this dough in our knife block.

13-12: Eggplant-Rice Casserole

Adam Martin Group 13: Vegetarian Dishes, Section 2: Main Courses September 24, 2016October 28, 2020almonds, bay leaves, blanched, boiled, butter, canola oil, casserole, chopped, cinnamon, creamy, curry powder, diced, dinner, easy, egg-free, eggplant, garlic, ginger, gluten-free, herbs and spices, inexpensive, long-grain, lunch, melted, peeled, raisins, red bell peppers, rice, salt, sautéed, side dish, sour cream, untested, vegetables, vegetarian, yellow onions

? 13-12: Eggplant-Rice Casserole is a heavier preparation of eggplant than my other eggplant recipe, 13-16: Arabian Moussaka, this rice and eggplant dish is two, two, two dishes in one. I’ll show myself out for that dumb, old reference… ?

There were lots of colors in this dish: purple ?, orange, green, yellow, white, and a few shades of beige.

17-24: Crispy Oatmeal Cookies

Adam Martin Group 17: Baked Goods, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods July 26, 2016November 8, 2020à la mode, all-purpose flour, baked goods, baking powder, butter, chocolate, cinnamon, cookies, crispy, dark chocolate, double boiler, egg-free, ginger, granulated sugar, ice cream, maple syrup, melted, milk, oatmeal, parchment paper, party food, sifted, snacks, untested, vegetarian, wax paper

I made 17-24: Crispy Oatmeal Cookies for a family get together and they went over very well. I didn’t serve mine in such an elaborate manner as shown on the card below, but they got a good reception because I dipped them in dark chocolate that I melted on a double boiler. ?

We didn’t have an ice cream on hand, but these cookies make a great dessert all on their own. ?

17-4: Cinnamon Rolls

Jamie Martin Group 17: Baked Goods, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods June 9, 2016August 23, 2020all-purpose flour, American, baked goods, breakfast, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, dessert, dried spices, egg wash, eggs, filling, gift ideas, glazed, granulated sugar, grated, kneaded, melted, milk, Mother's Day, parchment paper, party food, pastry, proofed, rolls, salt, Silpat, snacks, untested, vegetarian, whole wheat flour, yeast

I realize it’s now June, but here’s a recipe I made for Mother’s Day this year, at the request of my very own mother. What can I say…it takes a while to actually sit down and write these things sometimes. We were doing brunch at their house this year, and she wanted us to bring cinnamon rolls, so I solved two problems at once by making 17-4: Cinnamon Rolls.

This particular recipe doesn’t include an icing/glaze with it, but if you want one (as I knew my mom would), I used this recipe from food.com and it works just fine. Let’s be honest–the ones in their picture are probably NOT what you pictured when you thought of cinnamon rolls. Whether you’re thinking of their picture or mine, this recipe (with a few tweaks) will probably suit your needs.

17-17: Banana Bread with Pecans

Jamie Martin Group 17: Baked Goods, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods February 17, 2016August 31, 2020all-purpose flour, baked goods, baking powder, baking soda, bananas, breads, breakfast, bundt, cinnamon, cloves, creamed, easy, eggs, fairly inexpensive, honey, nuts, party food, pecans, quick breads, revisited, sifted, snacks, vegetable oil, vegetarian, yogurt

While I’m not a huge fan of bananas themselves, I’m surprisingly a fan of banana bread. ?? It’s always good for breakfast or as a snack. This particular recipe for it, 17-17: Banana Bread with Pecans uses honey to sweeten it, which is a nice alternative to using processed sugar.

Simply Delicious gives you a nice blurb here on bananas–for a more in-depth look, check out 19-5: Bananas, part of the Cooking School series featured at the end of the cookbook.

14-12: Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce

Happy New Year! For 2016, I decided to start the year off making something happen that I’ve been intending to do for a while: migrate this blog to its own site and off of Tumblr. I’m still going to crosspost to Tumblr, but all new entries will be natively posted here on simplydeliciouscookbook.com.

My first entry of 2016 and on my new site will also introduce a new category: Hot Desserts. This recipe is 14-12: Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce, and these pictures are actually from Thanksgiving 2015. It took me a while to get back to this one after the holiday baking extravaganza in December.

I made this as my Thanksgiving dessert contribution–both my dad and husband LOVE bread pudding. This one came out a bit strange, but that’s mostly due to poor pan choice.

19-11: Dried Herbs and Spices II

Jamie Martin Group 19: Basic Ingredients, Section 4: Cooking School November 22, 2015October 18, 2020cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, dried herbs, dried spices, fennel, five-spice powder, ginger, herbs and spices, how-to, mace, nutmeg, spice blends, vanilla bean, vanilla extract

Here’s the second part to this miniseries–this entry complements 19-10: Dried Herbs & Spices I, which came out a bit before this one. These are part of Simply Delicious’ Cooking School, which makes up the last 3 chapters of the book series.

Here’s some advice from Simply Delicious on how to buy & store spices. Don’t feel like you have to have a crazy, in-depth rack with obscure spices no one’s heard of. At least, not right away.

After the jump, I’ll share some more recipes from this project that make use of some of these recommended spices, and I’ll even let you see a glimpse or two of my spice collection.
