Crème Brûlée French Toast
As Kelly mentioned yesterday we recently made challah bread. I had been eyeing the recipe for ages. I love, love, love challah bread! The recipe looked kind of complicated though. I am often leery of making bread. And braided bread, even more difficult! But then when I saw that Deb from Smitten Kitchen made crème brulee french toast, I knew I had to make it with challah bread. Challah bread with honey butter is great on its own, but add custard and a caramel top and it is irresistible!

Braided Challah Bread
Happy Memorial Day! It feels good to have a 3 day weekend, doesn’t it? I’m writing this on Sunday and so far we’ve had almost non-stop rain all weekend. But Monday is supposed to be beautiful so hopefully I’ll be able to give this pasty white skin some much needed sun!

Nutella Cheesecake Bars
The day we made these Nutella Cheesecake Bars did not start out so smooth. Our initial plan was to make Churro Cupcakes, which Kara and I had both been eyeing for months. The cupcakes had lots of steps, which we usually try to avoid, but we made them anyway. We had high expectations and they were a complete and utter flop. In fact we disliked them so much that we immediately tossed them, deciding to not even bother with the frosting. We were back to the drawing board.

Fruit Rollups
I am not one of those people that eat strictly organic, natural, and whole foods. Just check this, this and this. Overall, I am not a very healthy eater. My diet consists of mostly bread, pasta, cheese and sugar. Oh, and heavy cream. That’s a staple these days. Don’t tell my doctor, please. I would love to be one of those people who eats steamed veggies and fish at every meal. But I’m not. I probably never will be. However, I do like to know what I am putting into my body. I would much rather make something from scratch then buy it from the store. Even if what I’m making contains nothing but sugar, flour, and Nutella.

Linguine with Artichokes
I think that I have mentioned before that Cliff and I have a twice monthly dinner club/game night with 3 other couples. We alternate between our houses and the host provides dinner and lots of drinks and someone else brings a game. Lately, we haven’t been actually playing the game but we are always ready to eat! I know some of these girls read my blog, so hopefully I won’t offend anyone… But some of us are more passionate about cooking than others. My friend Melissa in particular is an excellent cook and entertainer. She is a total Martha Stewart. She made this dish for one of our dinners and I knew right away that I had to make it for the blog.
