Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake Review!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 24, 2012

***Disclaimer: This is a cupcake review. Yes, I am aware that baked products like cakes and cupcakes tend to have frostings that are too sweet, which can be spooned off, but let’s remember, I also bake cakes from scratch, including icings, and eat cupcakes monthly. Therefore, my taste for cupcakes may be pretentious and specific. [...]

TTSPTip: Play With Your Food! (Faking Your Way Into Baking)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: October 29, 2011

Fake your way into baking by using semi homemade recipes and jazzing it up! Now, I can say I have a much stronger sense that certain ingredients like vanilla can enhance flavors, but nutmeg and cinnamon can be paired up with certain fruits to round it out or add depth, and make cakes and other baked good from scratch. The same goes for non baking food. Play with your food, and you’ll have a better sense of how seasonings work, and more confidence!

Cooking Goals: What I’ve Accomplished and not yet accomplished

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: June 8, 2011

I love challenging myself and testing my willingness to step out of my comfort zone by assigning myself daring, fun and daily goals. I have a list of many items I have been wanting to cook, and will include them on here. So far, I’d say my progress has been pretty steady. I think cooking [...]

Where Have I Been? Recipes and New Cooking Ventures

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 31, 2011

have made scones from scratch, biscuits, dinners, a peach cobbler with fresh sliced peaches, cakes, and interesting drinks! I have a few pictures of them prepared items and will try my best to share the recipes. Although I use recipes, I also get creative and add my own ingredients to it to give the dishes originality. So the way they come out will be a tad different from the ways your may if you do follow the directions very closely.

Buttermilk Biscuits From Scratch!!! Recipe and Review!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 18, 2011

I have heard from biscuit enthusiasts that biscuit making was no joke. From the wide variety of methods to the variety of styles, biscuits are diverse, yet timeless. This essential food is one I often crave, and have been contemplating making. I searched from a biscuit recipe that I was not familiar with, offering my a sense of culinary innovation and a dash of a challenge/risk element. Would I even like these biscuits? Would this uncommon ingredients used in this recipe pay off, or disappoint? Plus, it’s somewhat sweet!

Money-Saving Tip- Going Generic

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 18, 2011

One can save loads of money by bulking up on generic brands. I frequent Publix, and they aren’t quite cheap, but offer competitive generic products. For example, I just bought a pack of butter (the normal 4 sticks) for $.99! I was glad about that(considering the other prices were nearing the $3 range.) Target and [...]

Must Try Junk Food: Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: May 2, 2011

For starters, the cookie is a whopping $.50, the perfect amount of money to try it, and if it doesn’t taste good, you didn’t go broke in being adventurous. (I find that to be a plus. Anyone else with me, here?) Biting into it, one will notice the chewy texture, and the golden buttery taste of the cookie, and then boom

International Delights Cinnabon Coffee Creamer Review

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 11, 2011

Although I liked their replication of the bun, I wouldn’t buy it again, because the inclusion of a cream cheese undertone in my coffee is just plain weird. I even considered that it would be when I was considering purchasing it, but I figured the cream cheese icing flavor would be obsolete.

Opa! My First Greek Yogurt! (Then my second one)+ A recipe!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 18, 2011

Greek yogurt was pretty good It’s thick, creamy, chock full of protein (12 grams!) and does vary from your typical very sweet yogurts out there. It also taste a tad bit more natural than say some other yogurts that are just full of sugar. Plus, it’s so thick, I turned my spoon over and the yogurt didn’t even budge. COOL!!

Strawberry Shortcake for Breakfast? Sorta!

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: March 1, 2011

I figured toasted almond was more easy to imagine taste wise and wasn’t as interesting compared to the pink prettiness of the Strawberry Shortcake. I picked it up, excited about what newness I’d experience upon tasting it. And I sniffed it a little. OH goodness! It was heavenly! So juicy, sweet and flirty to my nostrils! SOLD!
