Contest Time

I’m in the process of redesigning this blog (see below and click to enlarge) and am having a contest (read: win baked goods)! I’m looking to replace the header image (the coffee cup) with something that better reflects Nosh With Me. I’m going to change the fonts a bit, but I’d like to keep the color scheme, at least for now.

Requirements

• GIF image size: 789 x 125 pixels
• Must include the words: Nosh With Me and One girl’s love affair with her KitchenAid mixer.

Also, feel free to use photos on my Flickr account.

Prize
One dozen cookies (or cupcakes if you’re local) of your choice.

Deadline
Tentatively January 31, 2008.

Submission
Email me at hilary (at) noshwithme (dot) com for more information or to submit your design.

Can’t wait to see them!

Nosh With Me on Facebook

Nosh With Me is now on Facebook. Why? I’m not quite sure, except that some of my favorite food bloggers are there and I was beginning to feel left out. So please stop by and be my friend (fan?). See you there!

Leftover Halloween Candy Cupcakes

My coworkers had some leftover Halloween candy, so I had the brilliant idea of bringing more sugar to the office via leftover Halloween candy cupcakes! Because how can candy and a cupcake together possibly be bad? Well…

I found a recipe for candy cupcakes and it said to chop the candy and stir it into the batter. Since I’m not a huge fan of crunchy cupcakes, I had the brilliant [at the time] idea of chopping the candies into thirds and putting a piece directly in the batter, like I did for the cookie dough cupcakes.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take into consideration that the heat from the oven would melt the chocolate and caramel, thus causing it to stick to the bottom of the wrapper. Ooops.

I’m pretty sure my coworkers will still eat them.

As you probably did not notice, although I feel the need to share anyway, I now have a Flickr account solely for this blog, which can be found here. This means each recipe is sorted into its own set, and all sets of the same type of recipe are all part of a collection. Did that make sense? Maybe this will make it easier. Yes, I am slightly obsessive when it comes to organizing things.

I’ve moved most of my baking pictures over, but I am still in the process of adding captions and recipe links, so in the meantime, all of the previous posts still link to the pictures on the old Flickr stream.

That is all.

Your Turn

So I’m a little curious about the people who visit this blog regularly. Tell me about yourselves! Where do you live? What do you do? Are you married? Have kids? Have you tried any recipes on my blog? If so, what did you think? And finally, do you have a recipe (or a nice Jewish boy) for me?

Excuses, Excuses

Why I haven’t been trying new recipes lately:
