There’s nothing like warm weather to inspire delicious dishes. Introducing Tropical Wrapped Tilapia with Pineapple Red Onion Topping and Scallion Rice. Killer. So the idea sort of came from a Rachael Ray recipe for Mahi Mahi skewers. I kept the flavor profiles (the pineapple, ham, soy, honey.. mmmm), but changed up the rest! There are […]

This week’s TWD is Fresh Mango Bread. I used frozen mango. Woops. I was pretty excited about this recipe (picked by Kelly at Baking with the Boys), thinking it might be a little healthier than some of the other recipes, what with the fruit and all. I made just 1/3 of the recipe, which produced […]

Sorry for the absence, Oven Lovers. If you’ve been following my business at all (Tickled Pink Cupcakery), you’ll know that I was back home in PA last week filling orders (and getting cavities filled). It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I’m glad I got to share some of my […]

Apparently the Carrot Cake Pie recipe is causing a stir. Check out this discussion thread about it on Serious Eats!

The Tickled Pink website just got an upgrade! Check it out!

I got to pick this month’s YWPWT theme! After lots of thought, I decided on “Family Favorite Pie.” Here was my description: “Everyone’s family has traditions, including favorite desserts. What’s your family favorite? Is it your mom’s brownies, your grandmother’s banana pudding, your brother’s famous chocolate chip cookies? Whatever that favorite dessert is, take it […]

I have discovered a new love: bread baking. I used to be scared, thinking I didn’t have the skill or the equipment to make great bread. But here’s the secret about making bread at home: all homemade bread is delicious.. even if it’s not perfect! It’s just got a special quality that store-bought bread can’t […]

I had a plan for this TWD. I really did. I was going to make little cakelettes, I had it all planned out. But here’s what happened: Couldn’t find a big cutter, used a mini cutter, cakelettes just weren’t the way I pictured them. So I ditched the cakelette idea. Moved on to a parfait. […]

I’ve been on a Martha kick. I think it’s because I made a big list of all the recipes I wanted to make from my EveryDay Food magazines.. now all I want to do is work through the recipes. Some people love Martha, some people hate her.. I just like her style and appreciate that […]

It’s time for May’s “Pre-Made Our Way” Challenge! I mulled over this one for a while.. I wanted to do something sweet.. and I finally decide on homemade Pop Tarts! I saw this recipe months ago on Genesis of a Cook (through Tastespotting), but only remembered it today. I love the idea of Pop Tarts, […]

I’m really loving eggs right now. There are always eggs in the fridge (usually at least 2 dozen at any given time.. I think that means I’m a real baker!) and I’m always trying to think of ways to use them. They’re cheap, always available and there are endless ways to prepare them. What’s not […]

I love my Dad. He’s my favorite! My Dad loves cheese danish. It’s his favorite. He can often be found munching on them for breakfasts or snacks, hiding them in his coat pockets, you name it! So when he and my mom came to visit, I had to make him a from-scratch cheese danish. This […]
