This past weekend I got to help host a baby shower for a good friend. Everything turned out wonderfully. I think the mommy-to-be felt showered with love and lots of pink and ruffles! One of the ladies suggested a onesie making table. I ordered some adorable iron-on appliques and bought onesies in various sizes. When [...]
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this lemon cream pie. Nothing at all. Simple flavors, creamy filling, slightly tart and slightly sweet with a crunchy, buttery crust. There is one lone slice left in the fridge and I am tempted to eat it for breakfast. It can’t be any worse than a donut, right? This [...]
When I go to bake a batch of cookies, I often find myself adding in other sweet things. Instead of a basic chocolate chip cookie I make oatmeal, coconut, pecan, chocolate chip cookies. Instead of simple shortbread I make these tasty treats. But this time I decided to keep it truly simple. Peanut butter cookies. [...]
You have no doubt seen those bars on Pinterest, and floating around on the internet called slutty brownies. I saw them posted on Pinterest by one of the last people I would have ever expected to allow the word ‘slutty’ to appear before her eyes, much less repin a recipe with the word in the [...]
When I found myself with a stale baguette, a can of cherry pie filling and more milk than could easily fit in our fridge I knew that bread pudding was the answer to all of my problems. I had a pot roast on the stove that I’d just spent quite a bit of time preparing, [...]
Cravings are not something I get very often, but I had a serious craving for a nice fudgy brownie a few weeks ago. I am going to blame (and thank) my pregnancy for this. My pantry just so happened to be stocked with the perfect ingredients. A bag of candied ginger, some Lindt 70% cocoa [...]
There is something just plain fun about making layer cakes. I shared this thought with Ben as I put the finishing touches on this cake that I’d started working on almost 24 hours earlier. Cookies, cupcakes, brownies, bars, etc. are great because they are typically pretty easy, not terribly time consuming, you can make enough [...]
This is Jacques Torres’s secret recipe! I found it on Martha Stewart, so it’s really no big secret. In the summer of 2010 I went to visit my sister and her family in Brooklyn. We stopped by the Jacques Torres shop in Dumbo and we got one of these cookies. I think these have got [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! I made these as a last minute Valentine’s dessert. And by last minute I mean I thought about doing them last night and made them this morning. The great thing is that they turned out! Not in the perfect heart shape I was hoping for, but love isn’t perfect. So, I’m going [...]
As often happens to me these days, I had the urge to bake, but not much to work with. But if you have butter (and flour and sugar), you have everything you need! I’ve expressed my love of brown butter before. Brown butter has this nutty wonderful flavor and can transform a baked good or even [...]
