This past weekend I invited my parents and my brother and his girlfriend over for Father’s Day. Since my husband does most of the cooking in our house, I prepared everything ahead of time and all he had to do was BBQ the burgers. I made a Roasted Corn Salad, Broccoli Salad, Potato Salad, Whisky [...]The post Strawberry Shortcakes appeared first on a sweet baker.
This post was originally shared on What’s Cooking With Ruthie, where I’m a monthly contributor. I have another rhubarb recipe! Rhubarb is the one fruit I eagerly anticipate every Spring.

I had a big bunch of cherries sitting in my fridge that needed to be baked with….or at least I thought they should be. I went ahead and made this Cherry Clafoutis, not really knowing what it might taste like, since I didn’t even know what a clafoutis was. If you don’t know either, then [...]The post Cherry Clafoutis appeared first on a sweet baker.
I’ve only labeled one cookie ‘The Best’ on my blog, which were these Chocolate Chip Cookies. After tasting these cookies though, I can say these are my ‘Second Best’! They are gooey, chocolate-y and brownie-like, all with fresh raspberries throughout. These Raspberry Double Chocolate Cookies are awesome! Last night I took my first cake [...]The post Raspberry Dou
I have another rhubarb recipe for you! This time I made a batch of scones with rhubarb, honey and yogurt. I made one batch for my family and I made another for my friend, Melissa, and her family. Since she gave me all the delicious rhubarb, the least I could do was make her these [...]The post Honey Rhubarb Scones appeared first on a sweet baker.
If you’re a fan of rhubarb, like I am, then you have got to try this Rhubarb Creme Brulee. At the bottom of the velvety, smooth custard is a not-to-sweet, tart mixture of rhubarb, all topped with caramelized brown sugar. I just wish I had made a bigger batch! When we were on our cruise [...]The post Rhubarb Creme Brulee appeared first on a sweet baker.

When I asked my husband what kind of dessert he wanted for his birthday I knew he was going to say something with lime. Okay, would it be lime pudding? Lime bars? Lime cookies Lime tart?

When I was out grocery shopping last week I had a craving for Oreo cookies. I love Oreo’s but they’re not something I usually buy since they don’t last long in my house.

Is there one food that you love but wonder why you don’t eat more of it? Rice Pudding is one of those foods for me. I love the stuff but I only seem to eat it about two times a year.

When it comes to baking I’m a nut-free kinda girl. So, when I decided to make these Butter Pecan Muffins, I was thinking I wouldn’t like them. Wrong! The only thing I’ve liked with nuts in it is a Pecan Tart. I’m not sure why I don’t care for nuts in my baking because I [...]The post Butter Pecan Muffins appeared first on a sweet baker.
Since I bought a couple of jars of Biscoff when I was in the US, I thought I better make something with it instead of eating it straight out of the jar!

A few months ago I picked up a bag of strawberry marshmallows and didn’t have anything in mind to make with them.

I don’t know about you but I still have chocolate from Christmas in my cupboards.
