  • Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

    Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

    May 14th, 2014

    This is the fancified version of the Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup. So buckle up. (No one needed to improve on the Reece’s masterpiece, but let it be said: making them with fancy dark chocolate and freshly ground organic peanut butter takes the accessible version of this treat to Foodie Land and back.  It’s really an […]

  • Mistake- Broken Chocolatey Banana Loaf

    The Double Disaster.

    May 7th, 2014

    I have been known to make mistakes.  I bake a lot, so I rationalize that I’m allowed to come up with a few disasters every now and then (like every month, on average.  So if I bake two things a week, I’m disasterizing 12.5% of my recipes.  Hm.  That sounds expensive, considering that the ingredients […]

  • Chocolatey Banana Bread

    Chocolatey Banana Bread

    May 7th, 2014

    This banana bread is basically a chocolate cake, and for that reason you will love this recipe (and me) forever. This recipe makes two lovely loaves, and takes care of those spotty old bananas on your counter.  And it hits that craving for a dense, rich cake right in the banana bullseye. Bonus moment:  if […]

  • Healthy Yummy PB Balls

    Healthy Yummy PB Oat Balls

    May 3rd, 2014

    I have a thing for healthy & tasty ingredients rolled into balls.  (Eating things in shapes makes it so much more civilized to eat excessive amounts of them, instead of sitting on the couch with a bowl and eating the healthy & tasty goo right from the spoon you used to stir it altogether.)  Remember […]

  • Shortbread Flowers

    Shortbread Flowers

    April 30th, 2014

    How sweet are these? Because I am a world-famous blogger, I had the great fortune of having the people from Dena Designs send me a bunch of adorable edible papers… of course with the hopes that I’d not hate their product and refer to my experience under the Disasters category.  Good news!  The “Edible Designer Print” […]

  • Cat in the Cupboard

    Cat in the Cupboard.

    April 30th, 2014

    Sometimes I think I’m so smart, and then I’m brought back down to reality by a furry and mischievous cat with stripes. While baking a batch of shortbread cookies (Shortbread Flowers, in particular- pretty for spring and all), I knew I had to outsmart the younger cat in the household, given that he has a […]

  • Gruyere Gougeres Cheese Puffs

    Gruyere Gougeres (Cheese Puffs)

    April 26th, 2014

    Gruyère Gougères?  A recipe with two accents in its name?  Sounds complicated, and maybe not even all that good.  (Be not afraid of the accent… as proven with Creme Brûlée.) All you need to know is that this recipe is an absolute must- that is of course if you like things that are flaky, buttery, and MADE […]

  • Monster Banana Chip Muffins

    Monster Banana Chip Muffins

    April 23rd, 2014

    Bigger is better when it comes to muffins, eh? (Except when you’re talking about the muffin tops that spill over a perfectly good pair of jeans.  Of course.) These muffins don’t look that big in the picture, and for that I am bummed.  I bought these rather gargantuous (word?) muffin cups from I don’t remember […]

  • Fruity Pavlova

    Mini Fruity Pavlova

    April 19th, 2014

    I heard a rumor that it’s spring, and since I’m an eternal optimist I am inherently forced to believe it.  The date says it’s spring, but Mother Nature must have one hell of a hangover because she’s still in massive hibernation mode.  It’s okay though, because I’ve found the remedy for winter weather: spring desserts. […]

  • Chocolate Truffle Sandwich Cookies

    Chocolate Truffle Sandwich Cookies

    April 16th, 2014

    Remember the Double Chocolate Buttermilk Cookies?  Yeah, well, these are them on crack. Cookies are exciting on their own, I full well realize.  But making a dessert out of two cookies and glueing them together with something as decadent as ganache, well, that’s another story.  Pull out a plate of pretty much any kind of cookie […]

  • Lemon Cheesecake Bars with Lemon Glaze

    Lemon Cheesecake Bars with Lemon Glaze

    April 12th, 2014

    You can’t possibly imagine how good this dessert smells. By now you know I have a thing for smells in the kitchen (like how squirrely I get when the Classic Shortbread Cookie explodes with the Best Smell Ever after about 20 minutes in the oven).  I’m hyper-tuned-in when it comes to the trillion odors that […]

  • Coconut Fudge Brownie Cookies

    Toasted Coconut Fudge Brownie Cookies

    April 9th, 2014

    Yes, coconut lover, I have bestowed another gift upon you. And brownie lover- I have looked after you here, too. You know by now that I can come up with enough permutations and combinations of The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie recipe variations to last us for years, and each one seems to top the one […]

  • Honey-Roasted PB & Chocolate Tart

    Honey-Roasted Peanut Butter & Chocolate Tart

    April 5th, 2014

    “This dessert is definitely a top 5”, said The Husband when this was served the other night. I have to tell you: that was a meaningful statement.  (The Husband is very supportive of the plethora of baking that goes on in our place, which is surprising since he’s my official guinea pig and has been […]

    If you like pumpkin pie and blondies, keep reading.  This post is for you, my friend. (If you don’t like pumpkin pie or blondies, well, I can’t do much for you here other than feel a little bit sorry for you.  Click on this page for hundreds of recipes to choose from, except for the […]

    Crack Attack.

    March 29th, 2014

    When you’re all excited about your latest baking masterpiece, the last thing you want to have happen is this. The 4-Layer Insanity Bars were all but ready to be served, all but ready to be graced upon this world.  (Really- I toiled over these mofos for a very long time– like a four-layer kind of long […]

  • 4 Layer Chocolate Cheesecake Insanity Bars

    4 Layer Insanity Bars

    March 29th, 2014

    I have never made anything more decadent (oh, except for the Astonishing Chocolate Bar Cake which required the sprinkling of 14 chopped up bars overtop of multiple layers of chocolate cake.  Yeah, that was pretty decadent.).  But this, this dessert.  There are four layers of dessert going on, four layers of love.  Four layers of […]

    Cookie Dough Ice Cream Pie

    March 26th, 2014

    Many people’s dreams will come true with this dessert.  So by extension, if you make this dessert and give it to people, you will become a dream weaver.  (You can hum the tune to the 1976 song as though it’s the soundtrack to this post.  You know, the one that goes “ooh dream weaver… I […]

  • Healthy PB Honey Balls

    Healthy PB Honey Balls

    March 22nd, 2014

    Peanut butter and honey are classic together, aren’t they? Flash back to the “Toast Post”, which married the two ingredients together (spread over toasted cinnamon bread with sliced bananas and brown sugar sprinkles, actually— an absolute MUST any morning of the week, obviously).  The good news is that the ingredients bind together in such a way […]
