I think this is a quandary many homes have. You have a guest bath, out in the hall.  It’s also the bathroom your kids use. So what do you do? Do you decorate it all adult-like, to be more appealing to your guests, or do you go the kid route, and hope your guests understand [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/22/kids-bath-to-guest-bath-and-back-makeover/feed/ 4 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/21/dark-chocolate-almond-brownies/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/21/dark-chocolate-almond-brownies/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:32:19 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=6834

I can’t leave the different flavors of Scharffen Berger chocolate alone.  I’m already addicted to the dark, the milk, the semi-sweet.  But then, they had to go and put almonds in some of their bars. I had to make brownies out of them. However, the almonds are packed into their milk chocolate bar, and I [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/21/dark-chocolate-almond-brownies/feed/ 1 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/19/peanut-butter-breakfastand-a-giveaway/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/19/peanut-butter-breakfastand-a-giveaway/#comments Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6729

When you think peanut butter, do you automatically think dessert (after sandwich, that is?)? I kind of do.  It’s rich, it’s sweet.  It goes great in brownies or ice cream. But peanut butter can really be for ANY meal.  Sure, you can simply spread it on a piece of bread, add a little jelly, and [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/19/peanut-butter-breakfastand-a-giveaway/feed/ 31 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/18/red-carpet-viewing-party-the-oscars/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/18/red-carpet-viewing-party-the-oscars/#comments Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:37:19 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6716

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. All opinions are 100% mine. Do you throw a party to watch the Oscars?  Lots of people do – I’ve seen posts about it.  The fab Movie Themed foods they make, the fancy cocktails.  Looks like fun. Me?

I am crossing my fingers for good news today, y’all. Cross yours too, okay?  I would love to tell you what for, but let’s just go with it…I don’t want to jinx anything. Instead, I will share these Blueberry Oatmeal popovers with you.  Think blueberry muffin, with streusel, and a side of French toast all [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/16/blueberry-oatmeal-popovers/feed/ 6 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/15/how-to-basic-pizza-dough/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/15/how-to-basic-pizza-dough/#comments Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6700

Everyone should know how to make a basic pizza dough. Don’t go and buy it from a can. Please.  Dough is superbly easy, and I bet anything you have the ingredients already in your kitchen. I borrowed/stole this recipe from my friend Brandi, from Bran Appetit.  She and I had a Johnsonville Pizza Party a [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/15/how-to-basic-pizza-dough/feed/ 5 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/14/valentine-tastes-you-still-have-time-for/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/14/valentine-tastes-you-still-have-time-for/#comments Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6688

Wait ‘til the last minute? I’m sure you didn’t. But just in case you did, here are a few of my favorite Valentine worthy foods you still have time to make. First up, Breakfast.  Breakfast in bed, maybe?  No one says you can’t have breakfast for dinner, so maybe you and your honey could retire [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/14/valentine-tastes-you-still-have-time-for/feed/ 5 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/13/tortellini-from-scratch-for-official-tortellini-day/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/13/tortellini-from-scratch-for-official-tortellini-day/#comments Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6670

Have you made tortellini before? It’s easy, really.  Sure, it takes time.  Good things do take time.  You can get together with friends and family if you like, and make a big day of it, hanging out in the kitchen.  But the great part about making it yourself?  You can freeze bags of it, and [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/13/tortellini-from-scratch-for-official-tortellini-day/feed/ 7 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/10/smoked-macaroni-and-cheese/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/10/smoked-macaroni-and-cheese/#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6664

Smoked.  Mac & Cheese. Yep. Jon’s and his father like to talk smoking.  Ribs, chicken, wings.  They like to compare results, share tips…gloat.  You know, father son stuff. Last week his dad boasted about having made smoked macaroni and cheese, so of course, we had to at least attempt it.  Smoked Macaroni and Cheese appeared [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/10/smoked-macaroni-and-cheese/feed/ 4 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/09/for-bakerella-pink-velvet-cake-popovers/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/09/for-bakerella-pink-velvet-cake-popovers/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://www.doughmesstic.com/?p=6653

Or should it be Cakepop Overs? Either way…they are perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast in bed, and every bit as cute and delicious as their namesake…Bakerella. I emailed sweet Angie (the one and only Bakerella) a while back in order to involve her in my most unusual Popover creation to date.  I gave her few [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/02/09/for-bakerella-pink-velvet-cake-popovers/feed/ 61
