Baking Delights Sneak Previews 10/25/09

Last week of October. I can’t believe it.

I hoped you liked pumpkin week. I would seriously like to hear from you in the comments section about that…Do you like focusing on one ingredient for an entire week? Would you rather mix it up? Let me know, please?

This is what is coming up this week on Baking Delights:

This is catch up week for me. Beginning next week I want to focus on Thanksgiving and Holiday recipes, menus, and schedules so this week is a wrap up and I’m not even sure what is in store.  Here are some highlights:

• Did you ever wonder which commercial brands I feel comfortable substituting for homemade? I will let you know what I buy, and why I buy it.
• You’ve been waiting for it – the last of the season strawberry rhubarb crisp with hot buttered bourbon sauce. This was lick- the -plate good, pinkie swear.
• Pork loin chops with balsamic date and ginger compote.
• Tuna casserole? Yeah, but there are ways to make this  almost cafeteria food reveal it’s hidden magic.
• I recently was sent Notes on Cooking to review. Is this something you want to find in your Christmas stocking? See what I think.
• Roasted cauliflower with panko and parmesan is not your mama’s cauliflower. There is nothing overcooked, gloppy, or tasteless about this one.
• Almost forgot…Blue corn scones with ginger curd. Breakfast in blue.

And, who knows… No doubt there will be an extra dessert or two thrown in. Don’t forget to comment about the pumpkin week… did you like focusing on one thing or not?

Have a great week!
