Unfortunately, this will be the last time I post anything for/about Tuesdays With Dorie. That’s right- I’m leaving the group. It’s super sad- I’ve been a member for about 2 years now! I can’t possibly tell you just how much I’ve grown and learned since joining TWD back in April 2008…I’ve become more knowledgeable in the kitchen, as well as discovering one of my greatest passions – baking. Being a member of Tuesdays With Dorie has shown me just how much I love being in my kitchen and baking (and just how much I adore Dorie Greenspan!) – so much so, that I hope to be able to do it for a living someday (hopefully sooner, rather than later!). Our group leader, Laurie, never dreamed her idea of baking something from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking From My Home To Yours once a week would take off and inspire 300+ other food bloggers to join in…the group is awesome and I am honored to have been a part of it for 2 years.
I’ve taken all of my Tuesdays With Dorie posts (starting all the way back with my first ever TWD post- homemade marshmallows!) and put them in a special category so they’ll be easier to find from now on. Take a look – there are some DARN good recipes in there, let me tell ya! My absolute favorite TWD recipes are the World Peace Cookies (to this day, my favorite cookie of all time), the Honey Peach Ice Cream, the Banana Cream Pie (and no, not just because it was my pick!), the Tall and Creamy Cheesecake and who can forget…the Gooey Chocolate Cakes; this one changed my life…seriously, the most amazing, satisfying dessert I’ve ever made. The pictures are crap, but the cakes…ohhhh the cakes….sheer bliss. If you haven’t tried any of these recipes- give them a try this week, you’ll be really, really glad you did. These are the best of the best, in my opinion!
So, I guess now it’s time to say goodbye, Tuesdays With Dorie – thanks for a fantastic 2 years!
I’m sorry to see you go….
But, you pop up in my Google Reader when you post, so, I’ll still be keeping an eye on you!!!:)

Wow, I’m not part of the TWD group, but this post sounded so sad. 🙁 Thank you for listing your favorite recipes. I love the cheesecake recipe, too. It is the only cheesecake recipe I follow.

This almost made me cry! We are such amazing friends because of this group… you were the one who convinced me to join, and like you, it has completely opened up my world. 🙂 I’m sorry you won’t be baking along each week, but I know this isn’t the end. You’ll be a star before we know it!!

Sorry to see you go – I’ll miss reading your posts 🙁 I completely understand though. I joined in April of 2008 too and it’s been a wonderful, but long, 2 years.
