Making Pasta with Peter Pasta

A while ago, I was in Williams Sonoma and at the demonstration table they have there, the man was demonstrating how to make pasta using Ecco la Pasta pasta mixes and the KitchenAid attachments. I was mesmerized. It was the coolest thing. He made ravioli and some fettuccine. I tried the fettuccine and it was…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

For St. Patrick’s Day, I wanted to make cupcakes. I had picked up some fantastic shamrock sprinkles and some St. Patty’s Day cupcake cupcake cups and I was determined to use them. In the true spirit of the holiday, I decided to make Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes and had found this recipe by David Lieberman (because…

Toffee

Here’s the toffee I made. I divided it into little approximately 2 oz bags. This made 8 of them. Sad to say, I forgot to bring them to the bake sale 🙁 But I tasted it later (since I forgot it for the bake sale) and it tasted quite good 🙂
