Day 362

 Day 362- Brown Butter Sea Salt

I am a HUGE fan of the cookies from the Brown Butter Cookie Company.  Last week when I checked, my local supplier Fleur de Lys, in Costa Mesa they were all sold out.  So I did an online search and stumbled upon a recipe from the super cute blog The Yummy Mummy.  When I used this recipe, the finished product tasted pretty close to those tasty little cookies I love!  I will definitely be making this recipe again!

Day 360

Day 360- Butterscotch Budino

My fiance and I love trying new Neapolitan and artisan pizza places.  We have learned that most of the best pizza places have their own version of this little butterscotch dessert.  Whether you call it a budino, pot de creme, or just plain butterscotch pudding, its delicious!  It usually consists of a butterscotch pudding or custard, topped with caramel, sea salt, and whipped cream. SO yummy!  We enjoyed this little jar at the organice, sustainable and delicious Blue Ribbon Artisan Pizza in Encinitas.

I've been baking way too much lately.  Although the cookies I was working on didn't turn out so great, I love the way this picture turned out!  I just love my fabulous new measuring spoons that I got as an early birthday gift!
