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.

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

Coffee Mate’s White Chocolate Caramel Creamer (Review)

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 26, 2011

Not overly rich, nor too thick (unlike International Delight’s Breve Cream in my opinion) I get a pretty even taste of caramel, but a slightly less white chocolate undertone. I had thought that the white chocolate would overpower the subtle buttery caramel, however one taste’s the opposite.

Godiva’s Vanilla Sundae Dark Chocolate Truffle

Posted by: thetalkingspoon on: April 15, 2011

Biting into it, there will be a sharp note of bittersweet, rich dark chocolate, followed by a creamy, delicate vanilla taste with a creamy buttery undertone. Its texture mirrors caramel (though it is cream in color), and though no vanilla beans are absent, there is a complexity of the satiny vanilla that stems from the product’s quality ingredients; White chocolate, vanilla powder, and vanilla work hand in hand to stand out on their own, but bow down humbly to the dark chocolate’s authority, both harmoniously defining each other’s tastes.

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!!

I expected this to not taste that much like a vanilla cupcake considering it has a graham cracker base. Upon opening the bag, you’ll notice that there are sprinkles on your goldfish grahams to imply that is it indeed a cupcake. (Nothing spells a cupcake like sprinkles, and don’t you forget it :) ) With the first bite, I was only able to taste a graham cracker and maybe a bit more butter
