Red Velvet Oreo Truffles

This weekend, Fatima and I took a break from the city and headed up to Connecticut to spend Valentine’s Day with my family. As we stated in our UncommonGoods post, my family would get together for a nice dinner on Valentine’s Day. This weekend, my parents hosted a Valentine’s dinner filled with filet mignon, our parmesan-garlic & lime brussel sprouts, and roasted red potatoes. For dessert, my aunt brought over…

Cookie Monster Pumpkin

Cookie Monster Pumpkin

Happy Halloween! Last weekend, my pumpkin entered into my family’s annual Halloween Party was this Cookie Monster Pumpkin! BONUS POINTS because it was interactive. While I didn’t win, I had so much fun making it. I used a small craft pumpkin from Target, ping pong balls and a sharpie for the eyes, and blue paint for the skin. At the party, I displayed him on a platter with Entenmann’s Cookies and…

Zombie Cookies

Zombie Cookies

Clearly a “nailed it” post. These were so cute. We saw a post on Not Quite Nigella for Voodoo Doll cookies and thought they were adorable. We used a sugar cookie mix to make these little Zombie cookies. Fatima did a great job with the decorations and improvised when we lost a few limbs. We had a few mummy cookies, mostly zombies, and human victims. When one of the cookies lost…

Colleen’s Banana Bread

Banana Bread

My sister made some delicious banana bread at Christmas last year, and again about a month ago. Last week, some of our bananas didn’t make it though the heat wave here in the city, so Fatima thought we should make some banana bread. So I called my sister and requested her recipe. Banana bread is a great way to use your bananas that may have browned too much. Rather than…

Cookie Dough Cupcakes

I’m not sure if Cookie Monster would react like this, but it’s a reaction I’d hope to get if he saw these Cookie Dough Cupcakes. As you’ve read on many posts before, I love cookie dough. I think I might like it more than the actual cookie. Yes, consuming raw cookie dough is not advised. However, I think everyone should try their cookie dough before baking cookies. If you like…

Super Bowl Cupcakes

It’s never too late to post something, right? It’s been really busy in the Marquis-Sow household. Fatima’s been swamped with work, going about 7 days a week straight, coming back at midnight, and I’ve been swamped with my accounting class. Figures, right? The semester where I’m taking accounting, Fatima is in the trenches of busy season. For throwback Thursday, I’m going to discuss our Super Bowl cupcakes. For Super Bowl,…
