Don’t get all “sour cream?” on me, with that look on your face. You know that a baked potato would be nothing but for the sour cream (and the cheese and the bacon and the chives, and the butter, too, but you grasp my point), so why question it in a cake? I wondered about […]

Tart but sweet. Smooth but crunchy. Limey but nutty. (Okay, I’ll quit it with the this but that routine.) All you need to know is this: make these. Yeah, I could have just gone the Classic Key Lime Pie route, which is always a fantastic “more, please!” way to go when you feel like juicing key […]

I know the name of this post is gross, but it pales by comparison to the grossiosity of the disaster that ensued in the midst of making my Key Lime Coconut Bars with Lime Glaze, a most excellent dessert, if I do say so myself. This disaster deserves the name of a disease. A disease worse […]

Chocolate + cherry = unique + good, but maybe not for everyone. You either like it or you don’t. If you don’t like it, move on to something more boring like my most excellent Classic Shortbread Cookie. If you do like the combo, then read on, partner. There used to be a chocolate candy with […]

Wow. Gooey and chewy and sweet on the inside. Crunchy dark chocolate coating on the outside. (I know you’re sold. You could stop reading now and just skip to the recipe, based on that succinctly wooing description, I know.) Another wow: this is the easiest recipe you’ll make since the Quickie Toffee Graham Cracker Cookies were […]

Don’t mess with your food processor when you’re wearing a new white tank top* and dealing with dark chocolate. Don’t try to get all strongman-competitor-like when the spinny blade thing won’t come out (which then means the whole goddamned bowl won’t come off the actual machine itself); don’t wrestle with the blade unless you want a […]

I have a thing for blueberries. I eat a 6 oz. container every single freaking day, which means that we spend $2,186.35 on blueberries every year, give or take (the ‘give’ is when the berries cost more than $6 because the markets know they can take advantage of people who prefer the word ‘organic’ […]

The Greeks knew what they were doing. In addition to a building a couple of buildings that some could call architecturally significant, they created the Greek salad (the real Greek salad, not the North Americanized version with lettuce that you get in a mall food court), and most important of all, they created baklava. (I assume it […]

Hand pies are all the rage these days. So naturally I jumped on that wagon and whipped up six of them, happy to have something to do with the blueberries that seemed to be multiplying in the fridge. Happy to feel like a trendy baker, hip with the baking times. (I am the antithesis of […]

With all of those nectarines going on, this dessert looks pretty darned healthy, doesn’t it? Don’t get me wrong, it’s not exactly guilt-free. (If you want to pig out without the cloak of shame and guilt to weigh you down, try the Angel Food Cake, or the Guilt-Free Mandarin Orange Cake, or the Healthy Peanut […]

These are almost too freaking cute to eat, but I’m sure you’ll get over it and down a few anyways. What the heck- down a dozen- they’re mini cupcakes, for God’s sake! Okay, so there are some people that go all crazy for the combo of raspberry and chocolate. (If it’s not for you, don’t abandon […]

It happened. I was in a seminar the other week and my mind drifted towards brownies (as it usually does, especially when in seminars about things like accountability and execution and other scintillating business topics). I was thinking about the half-baked batch of Buttery Blondies that I had wrapped up in the freezer, wondering what […]

I couldn’t stop myself. The dessert is amazing on its own, I know. But I had a mini-loaf of my favorite chocolate cake (well, one of my most favoritest chocolate cakes ever) in the freezer, and it seemed to call out to me. Asking to be baked into this bread pudding. Who am I to resist? […]

One minute I was on top of the world… giddy with excitement over a new and sure-to-be-successful recipe. Next thing I knew, the tide was rising. My baby bread puddings were capsizing. Drowning in the very sinful batter of cream and sugar and Frangelico and vanilla that made it so special to begin with. For […]

I couldn’t not sneak a bit of coconut into this cherry almond crisp. I think I was channeling one of my all-time favorite holiday bars into this summery dessert… you know the one, the Cherry Chew Bars… you basically meld cherries with coconut and nuts and sugary goo, and you’re a happy camper. (Wow. Thinking of […]

I have been cutting corners in the kitchen lately, what with the move and all. I’ve been on the lookout for quick and easy recipes… things I don’t have to proof, rise, roll, or stick a candy thermometer into. I’ve been returning to tried-and-true classics (like my brownies which I can make with my eyes […]

Oh, blueberries. I am almost as obsessed with blueberries as I am with sugar and Sauvignon Blanc. (As separate obsessions- not sugar mixed into the wine, duh. Although that does give me an idea for a dessert, not a lot unlike the Icewine Sabayon I made a while ago, but I digress. I am supposed […]

This cake doesn’t even need an introduction, because: a) it’s entirely obvious it’s the most colossally incredible cake you will ever come across, and b) by making you read silly things like words I am wasting the precious time you could be using to START BAKING THIS MASTERPIECE. (Yes, I do mean to be yelling […]
