Horchata Rice Pudding

Horchata Rice Pudding by Shoshana Ohriner

Horchata Rice PuddingIt seems like no matter how much food we order for take out from our favorite Chinese restaurant they decide we need enough rice for a dozen people. Inevitably the huge box of leftover rice sits in the back of the fridge until it is suitably unappetizing and I can justify throwing it away. Occasionally I make it…

Chanukkah Sugar Cookies

Chanukkah Sugar Cookies by Shoshana Ohriner

Chanukkah Sugar CookiesAlthough I am someone who loves to bake all kinds of cookies, I rarely make decorated sugar cookies. In fact, before this week, the last time I made decorated sugar cookies was for my childbirth class reunion when my son was 6 weeks old. A crazy undertaking with a 6 week old baby, I know. Maybe that’s why it…

Pumpkin Cake with Chocolate Chunk Streusel

Pumpkin Cake with Chocolate Chunk Streusel by Shoshana Ohriner

Pumpkin Cake with Chocolate Chunk StreuselSometimes it is nice to make a dessert that is knock-your-socks-off delicious without being much work at all.

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie by Shoshana Ohriner

In my mind, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without pie, often several. And one of those pies has to be pumpkin. Creamy and lightly spiced, it makes the perfect end to a turkey dinner, especially when topped with cinnamon ice cream. Over the years I have made different versions of pumpkin pie, but it is hard to objectively compare one…

No Stress Challah

No Stress Challah by Shoshana Ohriner

No Stress ChallahWhen people ask me for my challah recipe I don’t have a quick easy answer. I have my favorite challah recipe which is the one my family made when I was growing up. That is the recipe I always have to use for my holiday challah. It is a bit of a timing challenge because it needs to rise three times, and it uses…

Heavenly Bakers: Baby Chocolate Oblivions

Heavenly Bakers: Baby Chocolate Oblivions by Shoshana Ohriner

As someone who always loves a good flourless chocolate cake I was excited to try this week’s Heavenly Cake Baker recipe, Baby Chocolate Oblivions. The recipe called for the cakes to be baked in silicone cupcake pans, so I decided to use silicone rose pans about the same size and was thrilled with how they turned out. I ended up…

Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream

Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream by Shoshana Ohriner

Mexican Chocolate Ice CreamSometimes great recipes come about by accident. I was experimenting with making cinnamon ice cream using a mimiccreme base and the custard turned out tasting very egg-y with almost no cinnamon flavor. Never one to throw out food that could be salvaged I threw in pinch of this and a few ounces of that. The…

SoHo Globs

SoHo Globs by Shoshana Ohriner

SoHo GlobsIn my ongoing effort to bake more from recipes I have collected, rather than always seeking out new ones, I decided the time had finally come to make these cookies. I needed something sweet and chocolatey to take to a friend and these seemed like they would fit that bill. I got the recipe from Fresh Direct several years ago…
