Double Nut Baklava

When I first tried baklava, I knew I had to make a remix of my own. This recipe highlights double nuts: macadamia nuts, and pecans. Sometimes I even switch out the pecans for walnuts. It’s a delicious recipe that is continuously made here at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen. Baklava is one of husband Rob’s favorite deserts, so trust me, this one is a must try!

The flakey pastry is quite simple to make, considering the layering and number of steps. Besides the delicious nuts, you’ll also need a series of flavorful ingredients such as ground allspice, shredded coconuts, brown sugar, and of course, honey! If you are not a huge fan of nuts, or would like to experiment with other fillings, you can also try pistachios.

The filo pastry layers and nuts, are held by syrup or honey...

Almond Macaroons

At Kathey Jo’s Kitchen we strive to bring forward recipes that everyone will enjoy. These cookies are a perfect example of what everyone will like, from the youngest in the family, to the oldest. My husband Rob has always loved these cookies, and after making them over the holidays, I realized how much even my grandchildren enjoy them! I was one happy baker.

A helpful tip for this recipe is to closely follow the measurements. The almond flavor can be overpowering if overdone, so it’s important to add the right amount. Another factor to closely following the measurements is to have the right consistency. If you add too much sugar, they will flatten; too little sugar will make them puff up. Ultimately, the macaroons should have a crisp exterior and slightly chewy center.

This four-ingredient recipe is simple and easy. All you need is a single fudge brownie mix, ½ cup of powdered sugar, ¼ cup of water, and a single egg. If you consider making a larger amount, you can easily double every ingredient. The amount of brownie dots acquired will vary depending on the size of the rolled-up balls. I can make close to two dozen with this recipe.
