These Apple and Cider Beignets have been on my To Make list for quite some time now. If you’re not familiar with beignets, they resemble a slightly doughier version of a doughnut and are so, so delicious. The addition of some fruit only makes them healthier, right??
These cranberry-raspberry jellies (cran-raspberry jellies?) have such great color, I’m sure they’re bursting with fruity flavor. I could use a sugar rush from something sweet and chewy like these this afternoon!
In The Martha’s take on pasta alla carbonara, bacon substitutes for pancetta, and shallots and peas are included to give the sauce texture. No eggs either!
Introducing the newest addition to Design Crush: The Daily Eat!
As much positive feedback as I get for all of the design posts I report on, I also get a ton on the food. People love to eat and now you can check out a new recipe every single day right here on Design Crush. I promise to mix up the savory and the sweet as much as possible according to what catches my eye and what I (ahem) happen to be craving on any particular day.
Today’s recipe: Pop-Tarts. These little guys look about ten times softer and tasty than the little guys in the foil packets! *YUM*
These Chocolate Pull-Apart Sticky Buns looks ridiculously delicious. I wish I had a plate in front of me for a good ol’ sugar rush this afternoon!
This mutant cold that’s had me down all week is insane. I’m the sort of person who gets sick and doesn’t eat, after all, everyone knows the only bonus of being under the weather is the weight loss. No so this time around. I’m been starving. As in eating more than I would on a normal day… times two!
This recipe for chocolate Babka is something I bookmarked this week. And, yeah, it still looks as amazing as when I first laid eyes upon it.

I have a slight obsession with curd. Even though it’s a repulsive word in and of itself, the stuff is delectable beyond words. I’ve never made an attempt at making it myself, but I’m thinking that day isn’t too far around the corner. I could seriously just eat it up with a spoon – it’s just that good! I’ve seen quite a few recipes floating around the web-o-sphere lately, but it wasn’t until I saw this one using Meyer lemons that I was really sold. Not only is it extremely simple, but it looks like the chef was about to eat a bowlful, which isn’t far from what I intend to do!
A few weeks ago I came across this recipe for Miso Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings. It looks hearty and yummy and I’m a huge fan of miso, so it has all the factors I require to attempt a new dish. Besides, my stomach is feeling like yuck today and this looks like it could be a big help in that department. If my soup ends up looking anything remotely like the photo above, then I’ll be in good shape!
** I’m making an attempt at posting more savory meals instead of my usual dessert fare – I promise. It’s just that the desserts are always so visually appealing that it’s hard to say no!

Last night in an inspired mood I found this recipe for whoopie pies and went to town. I’m happy to report that not only did the entire process take only a little over an hour, but they also turned out really well. Not too sweet and nice and cakey. *YUM*
(Let’s Make) Whoopie Pies
Makes: 18 Whoopie Pies
Ingredients:
** Disclaimer: I found the recipe in Parents magazine of all places, which is strange because I would not recommend making these with kids. The marshmallow cream involved in the filling is easily the stickiest substance known to man and an ant trap waiting to happen.
I am craving cake something awful today! This Valentine’s Cake looks amazing – you just can’t go wrong with chocolate cake, cheesecake and strawberry topping all stacked together.
