Purple and Silver Themed Party {Purim 2013}

Posted in Holiday, Life on the side, purim, Uncategorized on February 27, 2013 | 5 Comments »

Firstly, my apologies for my week long absence. Apparently staying up till 3 am too many nights in a row can cause a person to reach a level of exhaustion that I was previously unaware existed. I slept off my lack-of-sleep hangover, and now I’m back with a recap. Next up: recipes!

Believe it or not, I forgot to bring my camera with me to my sister’s for her Purim Seuda (party), but I got lots of question about the pictures I posted on Instagram, twitter and Facebook, so I decided to share my iPhone pictures of the party in case any of you want some tips and/or inspiration for future parties!

First off, just across from the door, when people walked in, there was the dessert table:

There are a ton of desserts around on Purim, so I didn’t want to make too many. On the cake stand are mini blueberry cream tarts. They’re actually the same as my strawberry chocolate cream cups, only piped into a premade tart shell instead of a cup. I used blueberries instead of strawberries simply for the color.
The cookies in the back should look pretty familiar, as I posted those recently. As I mentioned on that post, I liked how you could make these any color just by changing the food coloring (because the flavor is vanilla).
In the front are cake pops, which obviously need no introduction or explanation. Next to that are the cupcakes. For those, I baked my standard chocolate cupcake recipe I’m mini muffin pans. Next I dipped the cupcakes in a simple white glaze, and then into purple sugar or silver sprinkles.
That’s pretty much it. I picked up the flowers at Christmas Tree Shoppe, and although you can barely see them on the picture, that’s also where I found some twigs that were painted silver (look closely at the vase on the right) .

Next, here’s the whole table:

My sister found the paper goods at a party supply store in her area. You can’t really tell from the picture, but those plates are a beautiful silver hard plastic place, which really made it look gorgeous. I found those runners at Christmas Tree Shoppe too. (Yeah. I might be a little obsessed!)
Again, the color doesn’t show through so much in the pictures, but there was a bunch of silver on there, along with the purple.

Now, here’s the individual place setting:

The drink is a blueberry smoothie (think strawberry smoothies turned purple!). I coated the rim of the cup with silver sugar, but somehow that didn’t make it into the picture.
On the appetizer plate is a layer of purple cabbage (my sister’s brilliant idea) topped with a Hamantashen meat Pie and a small bowl of onion sauce (my father’s specialty. Maybe I’ll convince him to share his recipe some day.)

Here’s a view of the salads table, halfway through being set up.

I am just realizing that I’ve never shared the salad recipe I made for the party. Gotta fix that!

And here’s the buffet. We may have made too much food:

You might recognize my pretzel crusted chicken fingers. What I didn’t tell you on that post is that I made a trio of chicken fingers and dips, but didn’t get to photograph and post all of them. I’ll have to get to that though- they were amazing! (And totally kid friendly!).

I’d say we had fun.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon for some more delicious recipes! -Miriam

Holiday Gift Ideas for the Cook or Baker in Your Life

Posted in Holiday, Life on the side, Seasonal, Uncategorized, tagged baker, baking, cook, cookbooks, Cooking, food, gifts, Holiday, kitchen, mini muffin pan on December 4, 2012 | 10 Comments »

People who know me are super lucky when it comes to buying gifts. I have such specific hobbies that if you want to buy me something, all it takes is a kitchen gadget or a photography “toy” and I am happy. I figured that some of you might be looking for gift ideas for kitchen loving folks in your life, so I put together a list. Most of these items are things I have and love, others are items that I want really badly. (This may or may not be a hint to people in my life. Ahem. Readers, I invite you to forward this link on to people in your life who might otherwise buy you a useless or unwanted gift. Hints are nice, right?

Let’s start with a big one, in case anyone wants to buy something amazing for a special someone in their lives.

KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer
I know this is an expensive gift, but if you want to get a baking someone a present they will never forget, this is it. I like to say that if my house were burning down, my kitchen aid mixer is one of three things I would grab. (The other two? Simple, my iPhone and my camera. Assuming my 60 mm macro lens is attached already. Otherwise I need four things. Work with me here folks.

Next, let’s talk small, but extremely useful kitchen tools and gadgets:

OXO Good Grips Medium Cookie Scoop

Cookie scoops are the secret to perfectly round and evenly sized cookies. I divide most of my cookie making memories between my before cookie scoop days and my after cookie scoop days.
Yes. It’s that important.

Wilton Nonstick 12-Cavity Mini Donut Pan

Wondering why you need a donut pan? Spoiler alert: I’m posting a recipe tomorrow that uses one. Also, said recipe made me fall in love with baked donuts. I promise, as soon as you see this, you’ll fall in love too! (Also: mini+donut=overwhelming cuteness. Simple math.)

Baker’s Secret Basics Nonstick 24-Cup Mini Muffin Pan

If you don’t yet know how much I adore making things mini…shame on you! You obviously haven’t been paying attention! I made these adorable cookies and cream cupcakes in the mini muffin pan, I made mocha cheesecake in a mini muffin pan. Remember these Cappuccino Cookie Cups from Ami magazine? Well the secret to their ~~success~~ cuteness was a mini muffin pan. Do I sound overly enthusiastic? Well, maybe I am. But I pull mine out crazy often. Plus everyone knows that mini’s are too small to hold any calories.

Wilton 6-Cup Mini Bundt Pan

Um, are you sensing a pattern here yet? Yeah, so I have a mini addiction, but still, cakes just look cuter and more delicious in mini. Take these mini chocolate pomegranate bundt cakes. Adorable, right? And did you see the Red Velvet Mini Bundts I made for my latest party? You’re convinced, right?

Wilton 3-Tier Cooling Rack

So I originally bought cookie cooling racks to avoid cookies getting soggy on the bottom (and that’s totally a good reason to buy them!) but I loved the added benefit of the stacked racks from Wilton, which make things so nice and orderly in the kitchen. (Or am I the only one who bakes too many cookies to fit on my counters?

Nordic Ware Original Platinum Collection Bundt Pan

I have mentioned so many times how I simply adore bundt cakes. Why decorate a cake if the pan will do the work for you? A good quality pan is important though. My awesome sister C bought mine for my birthday a couple of years ago. Best. Present. Ever.

Progressive 19-Piece Measuring Cup and Spoon Set

As a baker, I never have enough measuring cups. But this isn’t a regular set of cups. It’s got something that I’ve wished for as long as I’ve been baking obsessively. If anyone wants to buy me a present, I ~~want~~ need this. Y’know how it’s annoying when you need to measure 3/4 of a cup of something? Or 2/3′s? Well this set has both of those!

Polder Glass Candy/Deep Fry Thermometer

My candy thermometer opened up an entire world of candy making to me. I’ve had a ball since then. If you know of anyone who enjoys playing in the kitchen, candy making is totally for them!

Now, a couple of small appliances that I think are not nearly popular enough:

Breville Panini Press

I’m somewhat obsessed with my panini press. I grill vegetables on mine, make sandwiches, toast bread, make quesadillas, seriously, I never run out of uses for this fabulous machine.

Cuisinart Immersion Hand Blender

I think immersion blenders are the unsung heroes of the kitchen. Blended soups are among my my favorite things to make and eat. And these soups are best made with a handy little stick blender. They’re also great for making dips, sauces, and other fun treats.

Now, you knew there were gonna be some cookbooks on this list, right? Obviously, if I love cookbooks, all cooks and bakers do too. Duh.

The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America’s Most Imaginative Chefs

This book has been on my wishlist ever since my friend Leah from CookKosher.Com introduced me to it. It’s not really a cookbook, but rather an index of flavors that go well together. Say you have a nice looking vegetable on your counter, and you need inspiration for cooking it. Open the Flavor Bible and it will give you ideas of cooking methods and flavors that work with this. I don’t have this yet, so…ahem.

The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion

I often say that if I had to live for the rest of my life with just one cookbook this would be the one. Yeah, so I might have a slight obsession with cookies. So what? Seriously though, this book is an encyclopedia of cookies for all occasions, of all types, and all flavors. With all the amazing new cookie recipes constantly being made available, I still find myself turning back to this book for ideas and recipes.

Fresh & Easy Kosher Cooking: Ordinary Ingredients -Extraordinary Meals

If you’re a kosher cook, you might be interested in one of the new kosher cookbooks, Kosher By Design Cooking Coach and CHIC made simple. But if you’re looking for a less recent favorite, I really enjoyed this cookbook, full of simple and easy family friendly recipes.

Mini Treats & Hand-Held Sweets: 100 Delicious Desserts to Pick Up and Eat

If you’re looking for a fun dessert cookbook, this one is full of fabulous ideas. Perfect for the entertaining kinda sort.

The Cookie Dough Lover’s Cookbook: Cookies, Cakes, Candies, and More

On the topic of fun dessert cookbooks, if you know someone who has a special love for cookie dough, this is the cookbook for them! I found it to be super creative and fun.

And one last idea for the kosher folks…consider a subscription to Ami magazine, and your lucky recipient will get to see the amazing monthly dessert column written and photographed by the one and only me. For the more techy folks, they have an E-magazine too!

Readers, talk to me. What’s on your wishlist??

PS- how cool would it be to win a present for the cookbook lover in your life? (Even if that’s you!) Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for CHIC Made Simple! Come back soon, I have a *donut* recipe to share with you soon. Wait. Make that recipes! -Miriam

Primary Colored Dessert Table for Charity Event

Posted in Dessert, Life on the side, Party, Tutorial/How-To, tagged cake, charity, chinese auction, Cookies, Cupcakes, dessert, dessert table, DIY, food, fruit, hot cocoa bar, Party on November 27, 2012 | 17 Comments »

On Saturday night, my amazing sister-in-law hosted a charity party for an amazing organization called Rofeh Cholim Cancer Society, or RCCS. They are an incredible organization that provides an array of services for families in my community that are dealing with cancer, including financial support, emotional support, insurance subsidies and advocacy, tuition grants, and a lot more. For those who don’t know, they are currently holding a huge fundraising Chinese Auction, with local showings hosted by women in the community. My sister-in-law is awesome that way, so she hosted a showing of the auction in her neighborhood. Naturally, I stepped in to bake.

I figured I would show y’all what I made, for two reasons. Firstly, I have gotten some excellent feedback on my previous party posts, so if it helps someone planning a party, I am thrilled to post and help you out. (That’s me, Ms. Helpful. Didn’t you know?) But I have another reason, and that is, that I really hope you will consider clicking over to the RCCS website and making a donation. You can donate directly, or purchase tickets for their Chinese Auction. Personally, I put in for the trip to Israel. And the cash. Note: I do not get anything for referring you to the site, but it’s a very worthy cause so I hope you will donate!

Anyway, here’s the dessert table:

Let’s start at the left.

First, there’s mini chocolate cupcakes. Really basic recipe. Here’s one you can use. It’s hard to see from the picture, but I baked half in bright red cupcake liners, and half in bright blue. Then I colored half of the frosting yellow and half green, and alternated based on the liner color. Oh, by the way, for the frosting I used my new favorite frosting, which is the marshmallow frosting from my Snickerdoodle Cupcakes. Great texture and it pipes really nicely. As usual, I piped the frosting with a Wilton 1M tip.

Next, we have mini cheesecakes. I haven’t posted this recipe, but I need to, because they are super delicious, and everyone goes crazy for them. I put a homemade strawberry sauce on top of them, just to make them more delicious.

Next to the cheesecakes I have cookies that I rolled in colorful sugar. I actually used a different dough, but if you want to make these, try the dough from this cookie recipe.

Behind those, in the cookie jars, I have some new, soon to be featured either here or on my magazine column cookies. They were awesome, that’s all I’m sayin’.

Next to those are the muffins baked by someone else. Because I wouldn’t bake plain ole chocolate chip muffins now, would I? Behind them though, are the amazing Pecan Pie Topped Fudge Pies. Remember those? Yeah, they are awesome.

Next to that we had fruit. For poor dieting souls like me. Yep, I couldn’t (and didn’t!) eat any of this stuff!

And then behind it we had one of my favorite things: Mini Red Velvet Bundt Cakes! With Cream Cheese Glaze! I know, awesome, right? Here’s a close up, to help you drool:

These definitely deserve their own post, so stay tuned for that!

Lastly on this table, there were adorable looking mint truffles. I totally forgot to put them out, then just as the guests were coming I pulled them out and stuck ‘em on the table. Whew.

Now, let’s move on to the next table. I thought this was super cool, and so did the guests:

Yep, a DIY Hot Cocoa Bar! I think the picture is pretty self explanatory. It looked super cool, don’tcha think?

And lastly, I made a “door prize” for the guests to take home. Again, these need their own post, but here is a sneak preview:

The theme for the event is Twister (think Life’s Twists and Turns), so I figured this decor worked well! I did these with fondant, and will post a step by step tutorial soon.

Anyway, hope you get inspired for your next party, and hope you all consider a contribution!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon, I have a fabulous (and healthy!) recipe to share. Oh, and don’t forget to enter my cookbook giveaway! -Miriam

Sandy Update: It’s the little things

Posted in Life on the side, tagged New York, Sandy on November 3, 2012 | 11 Comments »

My last post is begging for an update. When I wrote it, Sandy was an oft repeated name on news networks and media. It hadn’t yet become a reality. And as you can see from my last post, I was in (at least) partial denial about how bad things had the potential to be. We survived Irene last year, right? How different could things be this time around?

By now we all know just has different Sandy was from Irene. We all know of the destruction, the lives torn apart, the houses destroyed, the lives lost. The amazing thing is, despite the horrors that went on around us, a disaster like this brings out the best in people. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been at the receiving end of the most amazing outpouring of support and concern. I remember living through other disasters, from afar. I remember feeling terrible for the people affected, then returning to normal life. And now that this disaster is affecting my current situation in so many ways, I can’t stop thinking about that moment so often in the past when I switched gears from feel-bad-for-strangers mode to regular-life-mode. We can’t live our entire lives in gut-wrenching despair over unpleasant situations around the world, but can we change our outlook a little bit?

This morning was the fourth time in a row that I woke up to my phone alarm and looked hopefully at my electric alarm clock. I saw the black screen and immediately knew that it would be another day of this…this darkness. The temperature in my house was in the 40′s making it extra hard to get up from under my warm blanket, turn on my flashlight, and get dressed for the day.

When the power first when out, we were expecting it. Candles were lit, flashlights turned on. The fridge and freezer remained firmly closed as we dealt with the short term reality of a power outage. But then the hours turned to days and we learned about the long term realities of days without power.

I always thought that I couldn’t survive a power outage for more than a couple of hours because I’m too attached to all of my electronics. Yet as the days go by, I’m learning how unimportant those things are. With electricity gone, I miss using my laptop. But I miss going to the bathroom without a flashlight even more. Sure, I miss being able to charge my iPhone whenever I need to, but what I really miss is opening the fridge to pull out a cold bottle of water. I’m sure everyone expects me to miss my mixer and my oven, and don’t get me wrong- I do! But what I miss just as much, or maybe even more, is popping something in the microwave, flicking the switch of the electric kettle. It’s amazing, I discovered as I shined a flashlight at my feet to make sure my shoes match, just how much we rely on electricity and modern conveniences, without appreciating it. Without even thinking about it.

And as tough as this is, I’m one of the lucky ones. Once the power to my house is restored, life will mostly go back to normal. The downed trees will be removed, the gas stations will reopen, traffic lights will be back on, and I’ll stop carrying a flashlight in my pocketbook.

And so, perhaps, there is a long term lesson to take out of this. A lesson about appreciating the little things in life. Or better yet, the big things that the vast majority of us always take for granted. When you look at a picture of a New York City street that is completely flooded, how can you not learn to appreciate a dry floor beneath your feet? And when you see a picture of a tree fallen through a house, shouldn’t we feel compelled to appreciate the roof over our heads? When you hear about entire neighborhoods enveloped in blackness, isn’t that a good time to appreciate the light that appears at the flip of a switch? When you see cars lined up more than two miles to fill their tanks with gas, shouldn’t you bear that in mind when you pull up to the pump and say “fill it up”? And every time you turn on the oven, stick something in the microwave, mix something in your blender, or open your fridge, you really need to remember that these aren’t things we should take for granted, because all over the world, people make do without the conveniences we’ve taught ourselves to rely on.

And one more thing. As you see pictures of a line of utility trucks headed to a small New York town from somewhere in the heart of Texas, or when you hear about would-be marathon runners from Europe showing up to help in Hoboken NJ, when you experience the countless people who open up their hearts, homes and wallets to assist those with greater need than themselves, you should remember that the human race has unlimited potential for good. And that’s never something to take for granted.

(Power line down on my street so a neighbor parked their car there and left the flashers on to make sure people wouldn’t drive over it in the dark.)

A couple of notes:
1) I’m okay, and will definitely manage until the power is back on!
2) I typed the majority of this up on Friday, so it’s about to be five nights in the dark.
3) I prepared this entire post on my iPhone, so please excuse the photo quality and any grammar/spelling errors.
4) As soon as I have power (read: Internet) again, I’ll be back to posting some delicious recipes, so fear not!
Hope all my friends and followers in the Northeast are safe, dry and warm! -Miriam

Party Pictures

Posted in Appetizers, Bread, Candy, Cookies, Dessert, Life on the side, Salads, tagged Appetizers, dessert table, food, Party, party decor, sheva brachos on July 31, 2012 | 20 Comments »

I know what you’ve been thinking. “She keeps talking about her party, and promising to show us her pictures, but she doesn’t follow through! Why, I bet she didn’t even make a party!

Yeah right. I flatter myself thinking anyone was desperately waiting for these pictures. And I almost didn’t show them off because they are seriously awful pictures. Here’s what happened. The day of the party was crazy rushed, and I didn’t have a second to take a picture until the guests were already starting to arrive. My mother was completely mortified because I made her stand guard and make sure nobody took anything while I finished putting on my makeup and getting my camera ready. So as you can imagine, I took the pictures in minutes. Less. And without putting any thought into the lighting, composition, etc. My apologies to your eyes.

For those not familiar with this, the party was a Sheva Brachos, a traditional party made for a Jewish bride and groom every night for the week following their wedding. This particular party was a sit down dinner for about 35-40 people. I got a picture of the appetizer and the dessert table. Sadly the rest of the meal didn’t get photographed because I was so busy.

Anyway. Here we go!

As you will see, my theme colors were green and white. The room the party was in is actually painted green. The dessert table was in the doorway of another room, painted red, but it looks a lot more prominent in the picture than it did in real life.

Parts of the table are cut off in that picture, because I didn’t have my wide angle lens on the camera, and didn’t have time to switch. Let’s go through it bit by bit.

Firstly, the top of the vase- here’s the gorgeous arrangement done by my talented mother (who did all of the flowers for the party):

It was very pretty and dramatic, shame you can’t see the full effect!

Next, we have the treats. In the corner, I bunched together a couple of pretty glass containers that I got at the discount store:

In the tallest container in the back I had snowball cookies. (A snowball in July…hehe) I used this recipe for the cookies. They were delicious!

To the left, I made ordinary meringues, added a bit of mint extract, then dotted green food coloring over it so that it swirled nicely through when I piped them. I didn’t think anyone would like them, but these were a huge hit!

To the right, in the back, I took regular marshmallows and dipped them halfway in green candy melts. My only regret with those is that I should have added some white to make those lighter.

In the front, I put out a bunch of these awesome little green and white sour candies.

There’s also a dish of pistachio nuts in the front, but you can’t really see them in the picture.

Next, just to the left of the flowers, I had this gorgeous thing:

Remember when I posted about Sprinkle Bake’s amazing cookbook? Well this clever Cookie Tree is in there, so is the recipe for the cookies. You need to buy this book just for this. Trust me.

Then there were cupcakes. Not because I thought cupcakes were needed, but because I found these cupcake liners and couldn’t leave them in the store!

I used a recipe for Lemon Cupcakes, but I made them with lime juice and zest instead. Then I glazed them with a cream cheese glaze, and topped them with green sugar pearls. Simple, but I like them.

Next came the healthy part:

I know I always appreciate it, as a dieter, when there’s a fruit option. I am lucky to have a super nice brother in law who cut up the fruit for me.

Lastly:

Those are lime flavored sandwich cookies (I totally need to make them again and post the recipe, they were easy and totally delicious) and simple oreo truffles that I decorated with white and green.

Onto the actual table:

I didn’t get this in the picture, but I also had a shallow dish with green marbles and white floating candles next to the vases. Aren’t those vases perfect?? The big ones aren’t even mine!

Let me show you a close up of the place setting:

My apologies for the crooked cutlery. My OCD side can’t believe I let that go!

For the appetizer, I made wrap bowls using this guide from The Spiffy Cookie. (I used mini wraps instead of tacos. It worked beautifully!) I filled those with a delicious salad made by my little sister. (Totally going to have to post that recipe too!) I love this presentation because it looked fancy, but wasn’t very hard, and the bowls were made a couple of days in advance.

My big sister made those gorgeous mini challahs. Of course, we couldn’t leave well enough alone, so we tied ribbons around the challahs. I love how that came out.

I’ve been calling it “my party” but this was totally a group effort. Aside from everyone I mentioned before, I have to mention that my sister in law cooked a large part of the actual meal, plus helped plan it for weeks in advance, and coordinated the serving. Turns out that’s not something I am experienced at. Who woulda thunk? My big sister, aside from making the challah, made a bunch of food for the meal, showed up early to help set up invaluable!, and did a ton of the planning and serving. My little sister was a life saver. Aside from making the salad, she devoted hours that day to helping me set up and pulling everything together. Also, my friends L. and Y. neither of whom even read this blog were the best. Seriously. L came straight from the dentist to help me set up, and Y took off from work to help. You should totally be jealous of my friends!

Moral of the story: if you want to throw a fancy party and don’t have much time to do it, have my family and friends.

Oh, and my (other) big sis is married. How weird is that???

Thanks for coming by folks! Come back soon, I have some fun stuff to share! -Miriam
