    I’ve made my own marshmallows plenty of times before, but it’s usually for something specific. I’ve never dipped them in such a variety of things, though, and those peanut butter smores ones have me drooling!ReplyCancel

    O yum Mom! I remember when you brought that to Blake and I last time. It was so amazing! I love it. I wouldn’t mind some more….neither would the baby I’m sure. We had Sweet & Sour Chicken lastnight and it was good but I think after trying BACON CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA I like that better. I tried the chicken in the crockpot this time and it was much easier! I think I will do it like that for now on. Keep up the good work. Love you!ReplyCancel

    First, that looks amazingly delicious. Like could I somehow justify making it at 8pm, hours after we’ve all eaten dinner? Probably not, but I’m considering it.

    Second, how the heck have I ever seen your amazing blog before???? I absolutely LOVE it. Amazing recipes and I love your theory of making them simple. So many things I bake people ooh and aah at and act like I performed brain surgery, when really they are so very easy to do – and I’m always trying to get my friends and family to just give it a try. Granted, they have me baking for them, so they probably have this all figured out.

    Anyways, LOVE your blog! So happy to have found it. 🙂ReplyCancel

    I made this and some of your orange rolls for a friend that just had a baby. I doubled everything and had some for my little family too. Everything was sublime. It even wasn’t half bad with whole wheat pasta. It made me not feel too bad about eating so much of this.ReplyCancel

    I made this yesterday and used it to top off organic chocolate cupcakes. This is the first time I have tasted/made butterceam. I out in 1 and 1/4 teaspoon of real vanilla extract. Is it supposed to taste like butter? Mine didn’t taste too much like butter but there was a slight buttery taste. I don’t know if I did something wrong, or if it is what buttercream is supposed to taste like. Other wise it was very smooth and airy. Thanks for the recipe!

    • Jonna - 10/03/2011 - 1:28 pm

      Hi Leah,

      You had the same response as I did, when I first made Buttercream……real Buttercream Frosting. It does have a taste of
      butter, and looks and feels like smooth butter. Some really like this type of frosting. I still prefer Cream Cheese Frosting!

  • Donna - 01/15/2012 - 10:40 am

    I am very interested in giving this recipe a try but I might have a problem. My Stand Mixer does not have either the whisk or the paddle attachments and apparently none are even available based on my call to the company. Is there any possibility for me to make this icing without either of these attachments? I have a stand mixer with beaters and cookie dough hooks or the hand mixer with the basic beaters. I hope you have some good news for me. thanksReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/15/2012 - 4:00 pm

      Hi Donna,

      I’ve actually never made swiss buttercream without my stand mixer and attachments.
      I do believe that it could work, but you will be beating for a good long time.
      It’s all the whipping of the butter and the beating with the paddle that produces this ultra smooth Buttercream.
      If you have some good arm muscles….go for it! Let us all know the results.

Lately, I’ve been a bit obsessed with Macarons. If you make them and taste them, you’ll be smitten as well. Macarons are to the French what cupcakes are to the rest of us! I have little bowls of egg whites . . . becoming of age . . . in every corner of my kitchen. Sad but […]

    I’m wondering if you could make these using egg whites that you can buy in a carton at the store? Seems like it would simplify the process, especially if you don’t want to have a ton of yolks left over. Have you tried this? Does it affect the quality of the macaroon?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 03/03/2011 - 3:38 pm

      Hi Heather,
      I really can’t answer that. I’ve never bought egg whites in a carton. As far as the yolks go, there are
      so many things you can do with them. Puddings, Creme Brulee, the yummy Coconut frosting for German Chocolate Cake, etc.

    I’ve been going back to this post over and over again, ever since you posted it. Today, I finally made them. Of course, I couldn’t stand the temptation, and had to eat one. Or, maybe two. They are so YUM! I can’t even image that they are going to be even better tomorrow. I also made the Swiss Meringue Buttercream for the firs time today. I do have leftovers, and it is so delicious, I’m already looking for a recipe to use the leftovers on. Thanks so much for all your great recipes and play-by-play posts. I wouldn’t have the courage to try many of these recipes without them. Oh yeah, I just bought that xoxo scale too. Love it!ReplyCancel

  • christine - 05/20/2011 - 5:01 pm

    I was wondering, i make about 4-5 dozen a day and i usually use a kitchen aid hand mixer…. i just recently bought the stand mixer and every batch ive made with it has been ruined. the color at the top is blotchy, it shrivels, doesnt cook right, and shatters in my hands. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT IS DOING THIS.. ive ruined about 300 macarons. i was wondering if u kno what causes blotchy tops & also, how long do u whip ur egg whites for (french method) and wat speed? tyty!!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 05/20/2011 - 5:32 pm

      Hi Christine,

      Oh boy . . . Macarons are one of those little gems that seem to need things just right. I use my Kitchen Aid Stand mixer, to beat the egg white/sugar mixture, then fold in the Almond Meal/Powdered Sugar mixture by hand. Try to watch the tutorials I’ve posted on Macronage. Too little folding will cause cracks and mishapen cookies. Too much folding will cause flat cookies without feet! I’m certainly not an expert on this subject. My cookies have all turned out, but I’m sure that they could be much prettier. I also grind my own Almonds, which makes the tops not quite smooth. You can see the little flecks of Almond skin. I did find Almond meal in our Health food store, and I’m anxious to make them and see if they are a bit prettier. Go to youtube and watch videos on Macaron making. This helped me. I whip my egg white mixture until it’s stiff but not dry. Remove your whisk attachment from the bowl, tip it upside down. If the egg whites don’t fall off the whisk….they should be ready. I hope this helps a bit.

    HI there! This is such an awesome page, really love your commentary and photos.

    I was wondering, have you ever had a rippling effect after baking. Sometimes my macarons get this rippled effect through the crust of the shell, like sharp bends? Its very weird and I don’t know why!!!

    If you’ve had this before and have advice, would save my life! Thanks!ReplyCancel

  • AliceK - 01/26/2015 - 3:04 pm

    I just tried making macarons, and they looked pretty good, but they didn’t have feet! They were smooth everywhere. Do you think this is an egg-aging issue, or do you think I didn’t turn the mixture enough. Your macarons are lovely!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 02/04/2015 - 3:14 pm

      Hi Alice,

      Possibly you stirred the mixture too long. It needs to have that ribbon look when you draw your spatula up, and let the mixture drape back to the bowl.
      You also need to make sure that you dry the macaron shells long enough.
      Try try again . . . I had to as well!

  • Rebekah - 08/15/2013 - 5:01 pm

    I had baked a brown sugar ham and had leftovers. I also had leftover rice and was looking for a recipe that wouldn’t require me running to the store for ingredients. This looked delicious online and was amazingly delicious for dinner! My husband loved it more than the actual ham from the night before. 🙂
    I used real onions and since I don’t have margarine, I used olive oil. I also didn’t use any salt but the ham was salty plus, the butter I used was salted. This is a recipe I will be using again and again! YUM!ReplyCancel

  • Julie Smith - 12/30/2013 - 4:34 pm

    I found myself (as often) without meat out for dinner, so I looked to see what I had … ham .. check! … rice … check! Google search on ham and rice brings me here to a recipe that’s perfect and perfectly easy for my fam (I can’t eat eggs due to an allergy, but I can definitely do the ham and rice! My son doesn’t like onions either, so definitely onion powder for me). Thanks so much for posting this!ReplyCancel

      Hi Julie,

Please be patient while this post loads . . . picture overload! Are you ready for some lip-smacking deliciousness? Over the years, I’ve tried many Italian Florentine Cookie recipes. Most of them have very similar ingredients, but today I found one with Toasted Coconut & Oatmeal. In my mind, that was a tad bit unusual […]

I use them almost weekly on my dessert menus at the restaurant where I work, in many of the ways that you’ve showcased. But funnily enough, I never thought of showing people all of their alternative uses! Ha. Thanks for highlighting the versatility of these beautiful, tasty cookies.

  • Rachael - 11/09/2012 - 5:51 pm

    I think the butter quantity is double what’s needed, and unfortunately I added the 1/4 cup cream into the cookie dough. Way too greasy.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 04/01/2014 - 6:36 pm

      1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cream is added to the dough.
      The dough is meant to spread out very thin…..very thin when baking. Paper thin!ReplyCancel

  • Nicole - 12/15/2012 - 8:14 am

    SO I shouldn’t add cream to the cookie mixture? Looking at your response to someone’s comment…that’s what you indicated. But your directions say “In a glass bowl, melt butter then add the Oatmeal, sugar, flour, cream and vanilla. Stir well then add the corn syrup. Stir in the Sliced Almonds & Toasted Coconut just until mixed.”

    Double checking, cause I wanted to make these today for a cookie exchange party…they look delicious!!!

    ***Hi Nicole,

    Yes…you will need at least 1/4 cup of cream for the florentines and possibly that extra tablespoon.
    You will whip extra cream, sweetened with sugar to fill the cookies and horns.

    JonnaReplyCancel

  • Veda - 03/31/2014 - 3:39 pm

    I am completely confuse. Do I add the whipping cream to the
    dough or not? Reading the two comments above mine. You told Rachael that her problem was adding the cream to the cookie dough.
    Then you told Nicole that she needed to add the cream to the cookie mixture.

    Could you please clarify this for me?

    Thank you for your help.

    VedaReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 04/01/2014 - 6:40 pm

      Hi Veda,

      I’m so sorry for the confusion.
      Yes, the recipe calls for adding 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon cream to the florentine dough. It also calls for 2/3 cup butter.
      The dough will spread out drastically while baking making them very thin! . . . paper thin!
      Any other cream used is just whipped & sweetened to use between the cookie layers.
      I hope this helps a bit.
      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Lauren - 11/30/2014 - 9:04 am

    You say cream. Is there a certain kind? Is heavy cream the same as whipping cream? I always get confused with this.
    Thank youReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 12/01/2014 - 4:23 pm

      Hi Lauren,

      Yes, just look for whipping cream that says heavy cream. It is just thicker cream. It should be in the small cartons close to the milk in the refrigerator section of the
      grocery store.

      Thanks so much,

    I made Recipe #1 for dinner tonight and it was SO GOOD!! This is by far my favorite of any asian-style chicken and rice recipe. The sauce was delicious and reminded me of my favorite General Tsao’s Chicken. I highly recommend this recipe. It is a little involved, but in my opinion it is worth it. I will be making this again and again. Thank you!ReplyCancel

    I prefer to see the whole recipe. I visit daily and if there is something I do not want to make or see, I go to the next email. I feel like sometimes when someone posts just a heading, they get points for extra clicks on their site.ReplyCancel

  • Puppydogs - 02/15/2011 - 1:16 pm

    Oops I also wanted to say that I do not understand when people make the font a size under 12. I am in my 40’s and have to increase the size of the font just to read the post. Some sites have great pictures, but if you compare the size of the pictures to the size of the font they don’t make sense.

    The pictures are big, colorful and gorgeous. The author took the time to take and post the best pictures of the food and the steps they had to take to make the food. Then the font is barely legible. It drives me crazy!

    There is so much ‘white space’ on the whole page, that it seems like they are trying to save money by using the smallest font available.ReplyCancel

    Hi Jonna-

    Here are my thoughts…

    1. Do you prefer a Full post on the Home Page, or Excerpts like I’m trying right now?

    I actually think I like the Excerpts. At first I was going to reply with, “Please go back to the way things were…” but I like that I can view more at once. I click on all of the recipes anyway, because you are hilarious and your pictures/tutorials are incredible. I am honestly addicted to this website of yours. Thank you for my daily “break” from work…it’s a place where I can come to view what’s new or search the older posts. Your stories make me laugh and smile…and your recipes make me want to run home and start cooking or baking! Thank you, thank you, thank you…you’re amazing!

    2. Do you need a tutorial on something you’ve been wanting to learn to bake/cook?

    I want to bake/cook everything and anything you post. Keep up the beautiful work…I just love it.

    Enjoy your day!ReplyCancel

    “I don’t need roses or fine jewelry . . . in fact, I’d rather just go buy a new pair of jeans or new shoes!” LOL!!! I am SO with you on that one. However, cheesecake is my absolute favorite! I can’t stop at one bite.

    But hubby is like you…..doesn’t care for it unless it’s a NO BAKE Cheesecake. So thanks!!! I am so going to making this one for him. ; DReplyCancel

    Jonna, I love cheesecake! Those cupcakes a couple posts back look amazing too! I tried the K. Hepburn brownies with pecans…best brownie I have ever eaten!! Thanks 🙂 I am so impressed! Hey if your up for running sometime, let me know! I have been out a couple times, and it rocked!!(Only if it is sunny and a decent temp in the afternoon…which is kinda sparse..but we work with what we’ve got, right?! The snow has melted too on the ones I did, so no worrying about falling!ReplyCancel

    Way too sweet, tastes like marshmallow cream instead of cheesecake. Leave out the 1/4 cup sugar.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 02/28/2013 - 6:06 pm

      Hi Carrie,

      I love the Cherries on top of mine, and I think adds a tartness to the taste. You could of course leave out the additional sugar.
      I always post the original recipe, but it’s always adaptable to other tastes as well.

  • miranda - 03/13/2014 - 7:55 pm

    Hi! I’ve never made cheesecake. I wanted to be clear, that’s 1 cup powdered sugar AND 1/4 granulated sugar for the filling?

    Thanks!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 03/13/2014 - 9:21 pm

      Hi Miranda,

      Yes, after beating the cream cheese until light & fluffy, add the powdered sugar & granulated sugar and beat again until smooth. Beat in the cool whip.

      Yum!

So thank you thank you…also I’m so glad I ran across this recipe that day, it was a tough day and I had no idea what I was doing for dinner, so I sat down for 5 min to look at recipes saw this, had everything so I went for it, and it turned out great!ReplyCancel

  • Lynne Herendeen - 09/12/2011 - 2:06 pm

    I want to make this for a friend who just got out of the hospital. Should I bake it first and just have them reheat it or should I bring it over not cooked and give them baking instructions? If I don’t cook it first, I feel like the tortillas might get soggy. What do you think? I want to bring this over to them on Wednesday. Help! And thank you for such a great recipe. I can’t wait to try it!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 09/12/2011 - 4:16 pm

      Hi Lynne,

      If you know that they will be eating the dish shortly after you take it over to them, I would go ahead and bake it.

      Let them bake it, if you are dropping by early in the day, instead of dinner time. As long as they bake it the day you take it over
      to them, it will still be yummy. They could also put it in the freezer for another time, if you take it unbaked.

      Hope this helps,
      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Joanna - 09/13/2011 - 4:02 pm

    Great recipe, but wanted to point out that it doesn’t say when to add the corn. I assume it’s with the beans and other stuff?ReplyCancel

  • cierra - 10/08/2011 - 7:14 pm

    honestly, I glanced at the long list of ingredients and was intimated enough to decide this recipe isnt worth it. I am on a strict budget and have about 1 square foot of counter space in the kitchen, literally. Is there a simpler version of this recipe?ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 10/09/2011 - 3:20 pm

      Hi Cierra,

      You could simplify this recipe, by leaving out the cumin, italian dressing and possibly the cilantro.
      The salsa and taco seasoning would probably give it enough of a kick.
      It really is easy to throw together though, and possibly worth the hassle!
      Good luck,

    Tastes amazing though!!!ReplyCancel

  • Tracy - 10/17/2011 - 11:59 am

    Ran home at lunch time and made 2 of these casseroles. Started with 2 pans, side by side and 1 lb of ground TURKEY in each pan. I managed to make 2 casseroles in a matter of 20 minutes, one for tonight and one for the freezer. Super easy and I could tell just by tasting the meat filling that this is a definite keeper!!!

    Hello! I found your recipe last week and decided to try it today for our couples crew! It was a hit…Everyone loved it. I wanted to know if there was anyway to prevent the tortillas from getting too soft. I baked mine longer than suggested because it was looking like it had alot of liquid…But I was not sure if that made a difference. Let me know! Thanks! Great blog!!!ReplyCancel

  • Joanne - 01/07/2012 - 12:29 am

    This recipe is awesome! My husband is a picky eater and he liked it and even took a second serving. Its definitely good with the lettuce and tomato on top when serving. I layered it with 2 layers of flour tortillas. My co-workers and our friends loved it, as I had so much left over that I packed it and gave it out.

    I added “Tapatio” hot sauce, as it gave it a little kick. It was definitely better the second day, as the flavors developed. I think I may make it a day in advanced next time, and let it bake the following day because those flavors settle in really good!

    PS I love this site! I’ve found a number of recipes that I can’t wait to try and a lot of this stuff I have in my kitchen already so it’s definitely a budget saver! Thanks so much and keep on blogging!ReplyCancel

    I made this tonight, I used ground turkey instead of hamburger, we don’t eat read meat. It was very very good. I also did the corn chip idea and salted them, if I had lime i would have splashed them with a little to add a bit more flavor. Thank you for this, I am pregnant and reading this recipe made me send my husband out for all the missing ingredients.ReplyCancel

  • Linda J - 02/20/2012 - 5:23 pm

    The casserole is now in the oven. So anxious to try it but, I just discovered something. Not all of the meat mixture would fit so I’m standing at the stove eating it out of the pan and thinking what a wonderful soup! I had a lot of liquid in the pan so I strained some of it when I did the layering of the casserole. The flavor treat left in the skillet is wonderful. Would be so good with tortilla chips crumbled on top with cheese sprinkled on top. Love it and can’t wait for dinner. Very sure the casserole will be wonderful…..ReplyCancel

  • Janna - 03/11/2012 - 5:13 am

    This is now an every other week stale at our house! I make it with ground turkey and almost always skip the tomato/cilantro on top because the little ones dont care…. Also, its great to throw together in the afternoon and just toss in the oven ar dinner time! Someone above mentioned overwhelming grocery list…. But take note all ingredients are cheap and easy… P.s. The best salsa to use in this recipe, other than homemade, is herdez large jars so stock up when its on sale 🙂ReplyCancel

    This recipe is really more like a Mexican lasagna. It makes much more than enough for a 2 qt casserole dish. Therefore, I filled 2, 2 qt casserole dishes. Baked one and froze one. The only differences to my recipe were as follows: ground venison instead of beef, 1 tbsp cilantro paste cooked in the meat/onion mixture, Kraft Mexican cheese with a touch of Philadelphia cream cheese,and used 1 cup of light sour cream. Delicious!ReplyCancel

This will be in our rotation of favorites replacing taco night every other week. Much easier and faster than tacos. We prefer corn tortillas, so that is what I used.

    I absolutely adore your site! I discovered it while home recovering from my 12th surgery, and it was a little bit of heaven and escape to look through all the delicious recipes. It even got me out of bed to bake some of them once I was ready! Since March I have been using these cupcake recipes, and receive rave reviews each and every time! We have some pretty amazing cupcakeries here in the Orange/LA county areas, and people who have tried these cupcakes still insist they are the best they’ve ever tasted. I always feel proud to have made them, but have to give all the credit to you! Thank you for providing us with truly delicious recipes, gorgeous photos, and for sharing a piece of your life with us.

    I am looking to bake the vanilla cake for my boyfriend’s birthday this week. Until now, I have only used the recipe for cupcakes, but would like to make a true cake this time. I was wondering if this recipe will fill two 9 inch round cake pans. I’m thinking it will, but just want to be sure. I was also wondering how long to bake them for?

    Thank you so much for everything! Blessings and best wishes to you!ReplyCancel

    I made your white cake recipe but made them into mini cupcakes, and yes it was delicious , but the cupcakes stuck to the bottom of the paper. What could I have done wrong?ReplyCancel

      Hi Mikell,

      I used paper liners . . . did you? Oh boy especially with mini’s.
      If you don’t use liners you must quickly go around the edges with a knife to loosen the cake carefully before removing.

    That just screams summer to me! I think it is the lime…I don’t know. They look delicious though. Gosh sorry it was such I huge pain. I am making a mental note not to buy one of those pans EVER!!! Laughing…I hope it was all worth it when you took a bite.ReplyCancel

    I can’t wait to try this! I LOVE lime and am a sucker for anything to dress up an angel food cake. Question – where did you find your lime pearls? They are darling!ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 01/29/2011 - 9:55 am

      Hi Camille,
      The Lime pearls came from Zurchers, but I’ve also found them at Michael’s as well.ReplyCancel

    These looks fabulous. I was worried when I saw them in the pan but you pulled it off!ReplyCancel

    I am so bummed… I just tried to make these, even went to Target to get the exact same pan. Followed the recipe, evenly distributed the batter between the 12 tins (actually I had enough for probably 2 more in the bowl) baked for 20 minutes and when I opened the oven the batter was all over the place except for in the heart shaped holes. Any idea what went wrong?ReplyCancel

    I should have learned by now not to come by your blog when I’m hungry!!! These are so pretty. I love coconut.ReplyCancel
