There are people who are just drawn to the splendid concoction of chocolate and peanut butter… in the same way that some can’t get over the whole chocolate-mint thing. (I happen to love both, by the way. Oh, and chocolate with caramel. Don’t forget chocolate and coconut, though- there’s a time and a place for […]

You know that I am partial to sweets. Clearly. But sometimes a savory treat just totally and completely hits the spot, and I have just figured out why: it’s the cheese. Do you think I could start a “More Cheese, Please” website, too? (I just Googled it, and it’s taken- at least the .org and […]

Baker: meet your new go-to cupcake recipe. This is the recipe that you’ll turn to for every single birthday soiree from now until you’re in a nursing home and can no longer bake in an unsupervised fashion- unless you’re looking for a chocolate cupcake or cake, in which case you’ll bake the Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cake every single […]

Upside down cake isn’t just for pineapples, you know. Pears don’t get enough airtime in the dessert world, do they? No one ever hears about a pear pie, or a pear crumble. No one makes (or wants, let’s be real) chocolate-covered pears. So when pears are plentiful in the grocery store, and you’re feeling […]

Don’t ruin Thanksgiving by not making a pumpkin pie. People expect pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, and they expect it to be good (translation: not too pumpkin-ey). Don’t worry, fellow baker: I’ve got you covered. Clearly I’m serving up a savory, sweet & spicy recipe that will keep you coming back for pumpkin long after […]

There’s something about maple that I can’t stay away from, and I don’t think you should stay away from it either. Raised on Quaker Oats’ Maple and Brown Sugar- flavored instant oatmeal, I developed a taste for the sap at an early age. I admit that my pancakes and waffles were smothered in the […]

At first glance this looks like a really good Maple Sour Cream Bundt Cake with Maple Icing, doesn’t it? Yeah well, it’s not. Good, that is. It IS the cake you thought it looked like… see the wicked layer of toasted nuts & maple sugar in the middle of the cake? See the oozing, thick, […]

I would like to apologize upfront for this recipe. You will dislike me and it while you’re making it. Quite a bit. But then you’ll thank me, and keep coming back for more every fall when the pumpkins come calling. I might be so bold as to say that this will become your Official […]

I have always wondered about the infamous Neiman Marcus Cookie (you know the one, that urban myth about the $250 recipe, blah blah blah). Who cares about the story, I say… how’s the cookie?? It’s pretty kick ass. Yes, you have to go through the step of processing the oatmeal into its own powdery flour […]

This is a recipe for lazy, cheating bakers. Any time you rely on store-bought caramels- the individual ones you unwrap one by one and try to not eat every third one whilst doing the unwrapping- you’re a lazy cheat. Yeah well, there’s a time and a place for that kind of corner cutting in every […]

PB & banana works on toast (obviously- check out the Toast Post for a wacked out version of the original flavor combo), so why not marry the two in a muffin? And honey with PB has been a classic for decades. It’s time to get serious, muffin lovers. This recipe is easy and fast […]

I can only go so long without making a chocolate and mint concoction. The last time I melded the two flavors together was in serious celebration of National Chocolate Mint Day (yes, it’s an actual day, and quite the auspicious occasion at that)… an orgy of Mint Chocolate Bark, Brownies, and even a Chocolate Mintini drink made the cut. Oh- […]

This was supposed to look like a creamy, green layer of Callebeaut white chocolate minty goodness. Instead it turned out like alien brains, spread over a perfectly good layer of semi-sweet chocolate. Which would be fine if I was serving them at a kid’s Halloween party. But I don’t know any kids and I’m not […]

This recipe is more attractive when baked into a loaf, I have to admit. You might be wondering about the combination of apples and swiss cheese, but it works if you like a salty & sweet combination (which is a really great thing in life- the counterbalance between one sin and another. Sugar and salt. […]

I am thoroughly shocked with myself that I haven’t put up a lemon bar post prior to this one, since they are a Top 10 Dessert in my (dessert-obsessed and convoluted) mind. I am also thoroughly ashamed with myself that I haven’t been a better wife to The Husband, who has made it clear to […]

This cake is amazing, and it just happens to be vegan. Don’t think that it’s in any way compromised in the Fantastic Department just because it’s not made with animal parts and pieces and products (translation: no butter or eggs or milk, which are mainstays in the world of all things cake, usually). Nope- this cake relies […]

So there’s this new thing called non-stick spray. Huh. Who knew? (In actuality, I’m not that much of an idiot. I did use spray- although clearly not enough [in lieu of butter, because this glorious Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cake is vegan and I didn’t want to taint the pan with the horror of dairy in this instance], […]

A friend of mine recently returned from Italy and as a way of thanking me for the grueling, exhausting task of picking up her mail a few times (oh, and watering her basil & rosemary plants once or twice- which The Husband did, anyway), gave me a gallon of lemon-infused extra virgin olive oil (and […]
