Alaska: Tongass Forest Cookies

By
THE BEST COOKIES OF ALL TIME* For Alaska, I wanted to try Agutuk (Akutaq), which was described by the internet as: This is the most Alaskan of desserts, though only a few hardy travelers try it. Native Alaskans create this “Eskimo Ice Cream” by mixing seal oil, reindeer fat, snow, and berries. The ingredients are hand-whipped until they form a foam. Sugar is not traditional but adds fluffiness. This food was originally eaten for survival rather than as a treat, and recipes have been passed down through generations of Native families. Other traditional ingredients include moose, caribou, and fish. Modern variations often include Crisco. ASN, the party pooper, wanted none of this, complaining that she wouldn't be able to find reindeer fat. THE INTERNET defeats ASN. (She was unconcerned by the utter lack of snow in Raleigh, apparently.) So we decided upon Tongass Forest Cookies, which sounded positively yucky, and which the internet admitted had no origin story.

Oregon and its blackberries

By
Who doesn't love blackberries? Crazy people, that's who! And what's better than blackberries? Blackberries in a cobbler covered in ice cream. This week our travels brought us to Oregon and tasty blackberries. I've never made a cobbler before, so this one was pretty exciting for me. I was amazed how easy it was to make. Not only was it easy, but it was super delicious too. It was obviously delicious fresh out of the oven, but it even reheated decently. Here is my tasty cobbler right before I put it in the oven. Look how big those blackberries are! Unfortunately mine didn't come from Oregon... They were from Guatemala. But hopefully Jennifer found some Oregon blackberries in California! Here we are, fresh out of the oven. Look how fantastic that looks??!! And believe me, it was fantastic. Christy (my other half's mother) had the pleasure of trying this concoction and I'm fairly certain she was in heaven.  Bottom line? I wou...

Return of Pudding... Again

By
Hello dear fans of I Hope There's Pudding! I know you have missed us and our country-wide adventures of desserts. Well, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that we are returning to write about delicious desserts for you all! The bad news is we are no longer doing desserts across America. I know. Tragic. We are going to making what we want on our time. We both enjoy baking, but at our own paces. Life happens to all of us and it felt more like a chore, than something we wanted to do. Now, I know what you are thinking... Shut up Amanda and show us the desserts. Don't worry, I hear you. Today I bring to you something simple, since I just wanted to alert the world that we were back. I present to you, edible cookie dough. Since it is super easy to make, I had help from my little helper with making this. I got this recipe from Unbaked Bar . I discovered this company from an Instagram ad a few months back, and let me tell you, THE BEST. So, I don...
