There just aren’t enough hours in the day lately. I am afraid blogging and sometimes even cooking are taking a backseat to life. I will be throwing a few older recipes in the mix here and there in order to keep things going here. By older, I mean things I made or baked a while ago…like maybe even a year or two ago…but never got around to posting. The photos won’t be up to snuff, but I stand behind the recipes 100%. Like this old favorite:
Cream puffs have long been a huge favorite in my home. My mom started making them when I was in high school. Choux pastry filled with a rich homemade custard, topped with ganache. YUM! I remember her making up dozens of these little beauties and storing them in the second fridge under a layer of waxed paper. I would sneak out and snatch one any chance I could get. Nowadays, my own children and husband love them just as much as I did.
