Festive Fruit Bars

November 27, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

We all have those events, particularly at this time of year, when we need to bring something. Bake sales, cookie swaps, parties. And you want to bring something other than the brownies or chocolate chip cookies everyone always brings (not that there is anything wrong with that). I find myself in that situation at lot. I created this alternative to be a holiday friendly, unique … [Read more...] about Festive Fruit Bars

Pumpkin Dulce de Leche Bars

‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin – and it is my favorite time of year. So I am reposting this classic recipe.

Spiced Carrot Cake Bars

April 3, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Easter season is the perfect time for carrot cakes. But I will admit, I am a little too lazy to make beautiful layered version swathed in cream cheese frosting, decorated with icing or marzipan carrots. I tend to go for bundt or tube cakes, like these Carrot Ginger or Carrot Coconut version. My other cheat is these lovely bars packed with carrots then gently … [Read more...] about Spiced Carrot Cake Bars

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
