What are you craving??

Anything at this point. I'm hungry this morning and that's not a good thing.

I am editing this post because, thanks to a certain someone on her apple thread (I won't mention any names--Mooch) but I would now kill for an apple cider donut.

Moi? 

  Don't worry; when DH came home last night I told him he better hurry up and eat the remaining 2 before I would!  I was serious too.  I'd have skipped dinner to eat those suckers.  I'm sitting here now eating raw baby carrots and hummus....wanting those donuts.  I'm down to 1 kid, who is napping, and the donuts are calling to me....the ghost of donuts past?

Sultana cake. I've been thinking about it for days. So funny I just found this thread.

Oh man, donuts! 

Right now? I'm in the mood for a 3-layer white coconut cake with shreds of coconut between each layer and scads of white mountain frosting swirled around the cake. And then more coconut. I could put a pretty good dent in that thing right about now.

You start talking about cake and all I can see is a Black Forest Cake with some Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream on the side.

But what I really want is a Babe's chicken fried steak.

I'm still feeling like sultana cake.

I'll be wanting that coconut cake until Christmas Day dinner!

I was craving date and nut loaf so I made date and walnut muffins. They weren't very nice but I ate them anyway. I no longer crave the loaf. I certainly won't ever crave those muffins either!!!

 

[dejolane]

I could go for some watermelon or nut bread right now. For my breakfast I have licorice but I ate too much and got sick at the doctors office.

Vanilla shortbread. Soft shortbread not hard and crunchy. Anyone have a good recipe?

 

[AbbysMom]

Lasagna. I really want lasagna. :nod:

 

[tammat]

I'm not craving anything??? Maybe I better make a doctors appointment!!

 

[karrecat]

I'm really craving some French macarons, even though I've only tried them once...

This may be a little too late for your craving (and it probably belongs in the Recipe Exchange), but here's a favorite of mine:

Buttery Vanilla Shortbread

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

1 stick unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and vanilla and pulse until evenly moistened. Turn the crumbs out onto a large piece of parchment paper and press into a disk.
2. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper and roll out the dough to a rough 8-by-11-inch rectangle. Discard the top sheet of parchment. Trim the edges to form a 7-by-10-inch rectangle. Slide the dough along with the parchment onto a large baking sheet. Using a straight edge and a sharp knife, score the dough into 24 bars. Poke the dough all over with a fork and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
3. Bake the dough until golden, about 25 minutes. While the shortbread is still warm, cut it into bars. Let cool before serving.

Thank you so much KarreCat. I think I can feel a vanilla shortbread craving coming on

I think I feel a mexican craving coming on! :lol3:

I was craving natural Greek yoghurt. I just had a lovely bowl of fresh fruit with the yoghurt- it wasn't terrible but it wasn't very nice either!!! The fruit was delicious.

Does that, by any chance, include tequila? As in a margarita? Because I would kill for a margarita right now.

I'm very depressed today, between my knee and a rotten headache. The tequila wouldn't make the headache go away, but it might help me deal with it a little easier.

If it does; I'm in!  I've been craving those!  My friend and I used to meet for lunch at a great Mexican restaurant.  No margaritas then though.  Not with the kids in tow and it just being for lunch.  She moved and I haven't found a new lunch buddy.  I save the margaritas for dinners there.

Mostly I just need the margarita.  I've never had hard liquor in the house so I can't "fix" this craving on my own.  I have mixed white wine in one of those Dole Shakers smoothie things.  half juice, half wine.  Not too bad; but tequila would be better.

Oh this is too funny - read below.

Pam - and for that headache and knee pain to go away. TOTALLY - a Margarita in my book solves most problems and the bigger the problem - the bigger the "extra" splash of tequila. :anon: :lol3:

I am also craving Mexican food. Tostada to be specific. Thursday night's are 1/2 off margarita's at our favorite Mexican restaurant. So I have been craving ALL DAY LONG. Well - Larry just texted me saying he has to work late........ boo hoo :boohoo: might not make it to that restaurant after all. Such a shame...... :slant:
