pain de chocolat

Also known as Chocolate Croissants. Never made croissants before but there is a ton of butter in this recipe.

I put a dark chocolate in them, should of gone a bit sweeter. Overall these came out really good. First thing I have made so far with yeast that has actually turned. I am so excited.

Hello Again (love that movie)

It's been a while since my last post. There have been a lot of different things happening around here. I had a temporary job for about a month, that is now over and I can start my blog again.

Of course we had the holidays.

Thanksgiving - I made an upside down cranberry spice cake. I actually made two, the first one Joe and I ate even though it was for Thanksgiving. I also made a GOOD pecan pie, everyone seemed to enjoy this time.

Christmas - I made peanut brittle, rosemary cookies, candied cranberries, meringue cookies, and

spiced nuts. Everyone seemed to enjoy everything.

New Year's Eve - the peanut brittle was such a hit I made more for the holiday.

It is a new year now with more to strive towards. I hope you and yours are well as we march into 2010.
