Easter Egg Bread, so festive and so very curious

I took a class today on making bread for Easter at the Patisserie in Milford, PA. It was very fun and delicious. Our fearless teacher, Rachel Crampsey was excellent and the class was really great and fun and delicious, did I say that already?

Salty and Sweet

Have you tried my shortbread?

Peter's favorite annoying question to ask his kids is "Have you tried Barbara's shortbread?" Insert eye-rolling here. We don't know why he likes to ask it, but he does. I think it's a not so subtle way for him to talk about his favorite cookie, shortbread. Here's a great recipe for shortbread from Martha Stewart.

Sfogliatelle

I baked them, but I didn't have to make them!

There's a great Italian deli in Milford, PA called Fretta's Italian Food Specialties. We're so glad the Fretta family relocated from Brooklyn to here.

Mmmmm Doughnuts

My parents always told me not to play with my food.

Oh well.

Flaming Apples

Making more pies, Thanksgiving morning

Pie juice, aka brandy, and a little cinnamon make for a dramatic effect in the making of this apple pie.
