This is for lazy people who love pumpkin pie, who also love to cut calories and fat while eating copious quantities of holiday-themed dessert. Sign me up. Yes, it’s great that it’s a gluten free option. And yes, it’s great that without a crust it’s way, way, way healthier (or at least way, way, way […]

Have mercy. You might already know that I have a thing for caramel. And I also have a full-blown salt addiction (which I’ve asked my doctor about and we’re okay with the problem for now). So the current sea salt caramel craze has my name written all over it. And while I’m not a fan […]

When you’re making caramel, the last thing you want to see on the face of your digital thermometer is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Yeah, well, that’s what happened to me mid-way through the caramel-making session of a lifetime. (“Caramel-making session of a lifetime” defined here as the epic event of making Sea Salt & Bourbon Caramels. Seriously- […]

A while back I made Chewy Pecan Bars that rocked my world. The smell, the texture, and the taste- oh yes, the taste. I was left almost speechless (which is a hard thing to accomplish). But I knew there was a weensie opportunity to take the bars to the next level. And I had a bag […]

Look closely at the picture above. Peanut butter chips don’t smell very good when they’re burning and filling your kitchen up with smoke. I’m just saying. Still trying to learn exactly how evil and powerful the new microwave is. Fighting the good fight. Interested in why I was microwaving PB chips? Yes, you should be. […]

But really- who doesn’t love a Napoleon? (You know, the dessert made with layers of puff pastry and other things that aren’t good for your arteries but so very good for your soul?) This is a bit of a slacker Napoleon recipe, so raise a glass to that point first and foremost (meaning, you don’t […]

Autumn in a cup, that’s what this is. Thanksgiving in a blender (without the turkey and stuffing, because that would be gross.) Pumpkin pie through a straw. (Also sounds gross. Sorry.) Want a guilt-free way to feel like you’re indulging in Pumpkin Pie? Here you have it. It’s fast, easy, mostly healthy (seriously- do you […]

I used to think that white chocolate was destined to be stirred into a cookie batter with its exotic (and expensive) friend, the macadamia nut. I used to think it couldn’t get any better than that for white chocolate, because after all, the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut & Lime Cookie IS monumental. (Oh, so is the […]

It’s pumpkin time of year. Even if you have absolutely nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, you can at least be thankful for pumpkin desserts. Don’t confuse this tart with the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, which happens to be noteworthy in its own right. And although somewhat similar, this isn’t exactly like the Pumpkin […]

When I tell you that ‘Gâteau Breton’ is just French for ‘freaking awesome cake’, believe me. (Well. Gateau does mean cake en francais, but that’s the end of the translation class.) All you need to know is that this cake has a remarkable number of reasons to bake it into your life: Caramel. This cake can […]

I need to make an apple pie soon, I know, but I needed to make a masterpiece with the puff pastry burning a hole in our freezer more than anything. Apple strudel is like the cooler cousin of apple pie. Apple strudel has international experience and offers the life-gratifying benefits of the plain Jane pie […]

Ugh. Can I begin by telling you how expensive it is to screw up my Apple Cinnamon Strudel with Cinnamon Whipped Cream recipe? Dufour puff pastry = $12 (and worth every penny, when properly baked). I should have just bought the box, brought it home, and thrown it down the garbage chute. (Well, I guess I should […]

Trust me on this one. I know you weren’t worried about the white cheddar part, and certainly not the bacon part, but you did pause at the mayo part, didn’t you? Don’t get set in your ways, crusty old baker… remember how good the Chocolate Sour Cream Cake with Chocolate and Sour Cream Glaze was? And […]

Don’t think these bars aren’t fantastically wonderful just because the picture looks sort of unappetizing. (I haven’t figured out how to take a decent picture yet in the blinding light of our new[ish] kitchen, so all my photos as of late look, well, on the verge of gross. And let’s be honest, bakers. It doesn’t […]

I seem to have a real problem with coconut. (I’m confident with this statement because I’m still recovering from the memory of the MacaRUIN Cookie, which I’m bringing up here just because I’m still really impressed with myself for coming up with such a cool name for such an uncool situation.) This disaster was really […]

…according to The Husband- because it’s our ten year anniversary today (it’s okay, I know it might have slipped your mind. You can overnight us something silver, like a dessert platter; it doesn’t have to arrive today, per se.) Well, this is the list of what I think are his Top 10 ‘More Sweets, Please’ desserts, […]

I’m so excited by these cupcakes. And I think you are, too, judging by how your pulse quickened a bit after reading the title of this post. Look at the picture. See that gooey Rolo tucked into the best chocolate cake batter ever? See it in all its tempting glory? Yes, I know. It’s almost […]

Oh yes. I know you’re usually all about the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, and normally I wouldn’t blame you. (Chocolate does trump pretty much anything, as a general rule of baking thumb. Chocolate also trumps a lot of people, too, but let’s not get into that right now.) But you know there’s a time and […]
