Ambrosial Buttercream Frosting

Posted by Hallee on Nov 3, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes

I am complimented constantly on my frosting. I use it on cakes and cookies regularly. If you don’t have a stand mixer, it takes a little bit of time and work, but it is SO worth it.

Moroccan Menu on the Fly

Posted by Hallee on Oct 31, 2009 in fellowship, Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning, Recipes

I had some friends over for dinner last night. I’m not as good at entertaining people as my husband is. I’m much better at cooking and serving a meal while I listen to him entertaining and interacting with people (heh). But cooking for people is what I love to do, and even though he’s gone, he encourages me to still have people over.

Quick & Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake

Posted by Hallee on Oct 31, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

This recipe intrigued me. I don’t normally use box cake mixes, but having a cheesecake with a box mix as a base really made me want to try to see how it turned out. It was very good!

Scrumptious Star Fruit Upside Down Cake

Posted by Hallee on Oct 14, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

My kids LOVE star fruit. I’m usually able to find it during Christmastime and try to include one in their stockings every year. We use it as an opportunity to talk about the Star of Bethlehem.

Gregg’s Quick & Easy Royal Icing

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

In an effort to economize, when creating a recipe for Gingerbread Cookies that would certainly need Royal Icing, I decided to experiment with the eggs in use. Splitting the egg yolks into the gingerbread and saving the whites for the icing worked out perfectly.

My children love this moist, chocolaty cake. It is especially good when topped with butter cream frosting and Winnie the Pooh sprinkles.

A Tigger-Iffic Time

Posted by Hallee on Aug 22, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Parenting, Raising girls

Scott helps me cook all the time. He’s very adept at putting premeasured ingredients into the mixer bowl, whisking eggs, holding a teaspoon while I pour vanilla into it, etc. The more I let him do, the better he gets at doing it. He’s become my right-hand man in the kitchen.
