It’s so freaking hot out, so this weather calls for an easy dessert that delivers a powerful insulin spike with ridiculously limited effort. (You’d think I’d have made a no-bake dessert, or frozen concoction of some sort- but no, I’m not that planful. I’ll make sundaes soon, I promise. They’re in the queue.) I’m on […]

Imagine how mysterious and exciting it will be to stab the most boring looking cake ever with a fork, only to feel slight resistance near the bottom of the piece, in that layer between the cake and the plate. “What could that be?” (asks you, the fork, or whomever you deem lucky enough to try […]

I was in an elevator on my way up to a really important work meeting last week when the idea for this recipe jolted me. I thought that maybe the elevator cable had been cut, but it was just the impact of divine inspiration: you need to stuff chocolate macaroons into banana muffins. Fantasizing about Ways […]

Yeah, yeah, I know- you’ve seen me make this one before. But this one is different- and dare I say, superior to the other Banana Coconut Cream Pie that I baked for you a couple of years ago. Why, you ask? Oats. In the crust. And cooler-looking coconut, toasted and sprinkled on top of the pie. (When […]

Are you feeling like being a good little healthy person? Especially since it’s so close to your January 1st intention to eat like a healthy person does? Well, look no further. This recipe reeks of health and it doesn’t even taste like it. As a rule of thumb, when you throw chia seeds into anything […]

So I decided that one of the most classic holiday cookies I make needed to go on a vacation. To the tropics. I bake icebox cookies every year, fondly chopping up the red and green candied cherries while humming songs about Santa. But this year I just couldn’t do the same-old. This year I wanted […]

This dessert really is a culmination of All Things Amazing. I know I say that about almost all of the desserts I post, because I am pretty much smitten with All Things Desserts, but really. In italics. Take a look at the picture above. (Don’t pay attention to the sort of sub-standard photo quality, though- focus […]

I’m not going to lie to you. There’s a lot going on with this little pie. And that’s precisely what makes it so good. Roll your eyes all you want at the title of this dessert- I know, it would have been impossible to fit in any more ingredients into its name- but just you […]

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 […]

You know when they say “don’t mess with a good thing”? Well sometimes the “they” people are stupid. A macaroon cookie is a beautiful thing, and has the oomph to stand on its own. But it’s kind of like The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie in that it can also act as a base for you […]

Oh my. Everyone loves the Magic Gooey Cookie Bars. This is a fact. (If you don’t know what I am talking about then click here immediately, make these bars, and then try to tell me you’re the only earthling who doesn’t love Magic Gooey Cookie Bars.) But what if the amazingly excellent graham cracker crust […]

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 […]

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 […]

Yes, we’ve been down the Sweet German Chocolate road before- but never in the form of cupcakes, and never with a brilliantly caffeinated twist. (You should be nodding right now, in a sort of mesmerized stupor, thinking “yes, it all makes sense- why didn’t I think of adding espresso to German chocolate cake before this moment […]

“Mocharoons”… get it? Coconut macaroon + mocha (which everyone worth their weight in sugar knows is chocolate and coffee joined together in harmonious union)= Mocharoons. More, please! But really… this cookie is dedicated to the sweets-obsessed me as a kid. I wish my Mom, who bestowed important but healthy recipes such as banana bread upon me, had […]

I’m excited by these bars. You might say that I am excited by all bars, which wouldn’t be entirely wrong (remember the Lemon Bars? Or the Cherry Chew Bars? Or the Fudge-Stuffed Chocolate Cookie Brownie Bars, which I had almost forgotten about?). Yeah, I do have a thing for bars. And now I have a […]

I have been holding this recipe out on you. But I think you deserve to know about it now. It’s one of my Top 10 Desserts Ever- and trust me when I tell you it’s a long, long, long list that I’ve carefully selected the Top 10 from. It might even make my Top 5, […]

Mini Eggs. Need I say more? Sometimes you just need to create a dessert to highlight something special. Like how I made the Baked Kahlua Pineapple Flutter– it was really all about the Kahlua. Or the Bittersweet Chocolate Oatmeal Bars– we all know the oatmeal was used merely to envelop the massive layer of thick, […]
