When I asked Fatima what kind of cake she wanted for her birthday, she did not hesitate to say ‘cheesecake’. Well, maybe there was some hesitation as she figured out what kind of cheesecake. And that’s how we landed on an Oreo cheesecake for her birthday cake. This cheesecake is one of my favorite recipes. It’s one of the only recipes I found that did not require a water bath…
This post on Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies was originally published on July 10, 2012. Photos have been updated and we are no longer referring to these using a derogatory adjective. These Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies are so delicious! They combine everything I love: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and Oreos. With the summer in full swing, I made this pick-me-up for my coworkers on Friday. So what makes this brownie so…
This post on Fried Oreos was originally published on September 18, 2012. Updates were made to photos, formatting, and text. Basically, it was completely rewritten. Happy New Year! This year, Fatima and I were planning to stay in. Thank goodness we chose to do that because it was so cold outside. We came back from our holiday in New Hampshire a little early so we could be back home before New Year’s…
Make your own ‘takeout’ at home with these takeout-inspired dishes! While we love a good Seamless night/weekend, sometimes we just want to make some homemade takeout. Your dinner is available to eat when you want to make it, the food is customized to your liking, and you can make a fun night out of cooking with your family and friends. Pizza, Asian cuisine, and even fried Oreos! Everybody loves a little street food.…
I don’t know if you had a chance to try Oreo’s latest flavor, but we did. And we’re obsessed. I love peanut butter and I love peanut butter cups. The fact that Oreo (another cookie I love) went and fused with peanut butter cups is amazing. I’m not sure if Brownie Batter is a still a rumor, but we can’t wait for that one.…
This weekend, Fatima and I took a break from the city and headed up to Connecticut to spend Valentine’s Day with my family. As we stated in our UncommonGoods post, my family would get together for a nice dinner on Valentine’s Day. This weekend, my parents hosted a Valentine’s dinner filled with filet mignon, our parmesan-garlic & lime brussel sprouts, and roasted red potatoes. For dessert, my aunt brought over…
Happy birthday to Fatima! Last year, I made Fatima a cookies and cream cake. She loves anything cookies and cream – especially those Hershey’s cookies and cream bars. I’m not a fan, but that’s one of the only sweets she’ll eat. This year, to pair with my peanut butter cup cupcakes, I made her some cookies and cream cupcakes. I used a butter golden cake mix, a can of vanilla…
Yummy, yummy, yummy, I’ve got edible cookie dough in my tummy. You know you’re in heaven when you can eat eggless cookie dough. This Chocolate Cookie Dough Truffle recipe was inspired from a red velvet truffle recipe. Our weaknesses consist only of a few things: chocolate, cookie dough, and a good dessert that can combine the two. So what happens when you combine everything together?…
Hi Lilies and Loafers fans! I’m Becca and am so psyched to be guest blogging today. Quick about me: I live in Brooklyn with two roommates, work in PR, love Puerto Rico, have a tattoo, went to Iceland, am going to Thailand, have a cat named Chap and when asked what hashtag I’m most likely to use, the answer is: #catlady. All that being said, I do also like to bake.…
A while ago, we made some delicious Oreo Truffles. We took this recipe and added some holiday flair by adding a dash of peppermint extract. These truffles were soooo good. Relatively easy to make, these truffles didn’t take up too much time. It was trying to melt the white chocolate that took up most of my time. Last time I melted white chocolate, it was no bueno. Adding in the…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATIMA! Today Yesterday was Fatima’s 20-something birthday! She loves pizza, so I found a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant in our neighborhood called DELIZIA. She also loves vanilla (c’mon look who she’s dating), and Oreos. You know those Cookies & Cream candy bars? She loves those, I really don’t know why, but she does! So, Wednesday night, I decided to bake all of her favorite things together, this is what I…
Let’s talk about the street food we ate today…FRIED OREOS. 3rd Ave was pretty much shut down today for a street fair. Street fairs = blocks of fried food and street meat. Edwin, pictured below, implanted an idea in our heads to grab some fried Oreos. We’re adding these to our list of things to make ASAP. The pictures speak for themselves… FATIMA HOLDING THE FRIED OREOS: THE FRIED…
