So this will be one of the very few dessert recipes I will be posting.  Baking is in no way by any means my forte but I can make a mean creme brulee!  It is a very simple recipe and a sure crowd pleaser! (Nick and Halle)

Preheat your oven to 375
Mix 9 egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar together with a whisk.

Scald 1 quart of heavy cream. (when bubbles come up to the sides it's scalding) Stir constantly.

Gradually add scalded cream to yolk mixture stirring constantly.  


Add 31/2 tsp vanilla.  This is just too hard....

Mash up raspberries and distribute evenly into ramekins.  (my husband personally likes it better when I don't put the raspberries in... it's up to you) Put the ramekins into baking dishes.

Pour mixture into ramekins and then make a water bath by pouring water into the baking dishes about half way up to the ramekins.

Put the finished product into 375 degree oven for 35 to 45 min or until they don't jiggle like your thighs when you are done eating this!  When they are done baking take them out of the water bath and let them cool.  Then put them in the fridge for at least 3 hours...I think overnight is best.
When you are ready to serve it put a generous amount of sugar on the top and burn it with a special torch (you can buy them at any kitchen or hardware store) or broil them in the oven.  It just won't be as even.  Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary!


January 5th was Nick and I's seven year anniversary!  We are pretty proud of ourselves.  We passed  pretty much everyone in Hollywood now except for a choice few....Tim and Faith, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, Kurt and Goldie....wait they never tied the knot.  Anyways.  I took Nick to dinner at Tepanyaki (we almost didn't make it because it snowed like 10 inches that day) where they cook the food in front of you.  So yummy!  And just like our wedding day it was freezing cold.  But it was totally worth it honey!! Love you!
