There’s no denying my obsession with brown butter, it made its way into my favorite blondies of all time (which I created into a business!), and snuck its way into my banana bread. Honestly, it’s good in everything. One of my most favorite ways to incorporate brown butter though, is along with chocolate and sea … More Toffee Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
This past weekend, I so desperately needed a freshly baked cookie, that I almost walked to our local bodega and bought pre-made cookie dough. I decided to give my Pinterest board a once-over and see if anything stood out as easy and/or fast. I came across this recipe for possibly the easiest blondies ever. Averie’s recipe calls … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
It’s no secret that I am basically obsessed with caramel & apples. It’s one of those combos that I want, not just in the fall, but all-year-long! There’s something about the tartness of the apples against the sweet flavor of caramel that just goes together perfectly. This recipe combines those things but takes it a … More Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed that I had some adventures in Thailand and Myanmar recently! Not to brag or anything, but we had sunny 90 degree weather pretty much everyday…and my mouth will never be the same after eating the most delicious Asian and Indian dishes ever. I’ve been thinking about … More Orange Chocolate Pound Cake
When this post is published, I will be en-route to enjoying 15 days of sunshine and lots of delicious food in Thailand and Myanmar. Andrew and I have a habit of taking vacations during the Super Bowl, so it’s usually, on at a very random time of day (in this case, 6:30am!!) and we’re typically … More Coconut Mojitos
You guys, do not make this. I promise you you’ll regret it. This is one of those recipes that is 100,000,000 times greater than the sum of it’s parts. I barely even like white chocolate, but for some reason when it’s coated on top of a random mix of things, it becomes literal crack. So, … More Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Holiday Crack
Am I writing two recipes in two weeks with caramel and apples? You bet I am! Until snow falls to the ground (I’m NOT asking for it, but just saying…) I’m just going to continue down this beautifully foliage-d path. I have a love of blondies that is well documented here, so obviously after I … More Salted Caramel Apple Blondies
I am in full-fledged fall mode (like everyone else). I’m wearing all my sweaters, booties, leather jackets (not at once, way too hot) while sipping on every seasonal latte and cocktail and thinking up what delicious treats I can make next. There are a million apple pie recipes on the internet, but this one is unique in … More Caramel Apple Lattice Top Pie
I keep a fairly long list of ‘to-make’ recipes in a variety of spots (pinterest, my iPhone’s notepad, bookmarks, post-its on cookbooks, etc). A lot of the time, these recipes remain there for months (or longer), some even get forgotten forever (I’m sorry homemade pho, I will make you one day!). Somehow, I legit can’t … More Cookies and Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies
I basically refuse to stop using summer produce until it’s officially fall, which means I have approximately two weeks to put peaches and berries into literally everything I make. Peaches have always been my favorite fruit, and I’m basically obsessed with this peach upside-down cake. It can be served as-is for a breakfast or brunch … More Peach Upside Down Cake
I’m in denial that it’s already the end of August…but since we’re nearing the end of summer, I may or may not be going a little overboard on the summer produce. I’m basically putting blueberries in everything until the very last blueberry is grown this year. This recipe is kind of a combo situation. I healthified … More Blueberry Banana Bread
Rule #1 of summertime desserts: must include fruit…preferably berries. Obviously this rule is completely optional and not really a rule at all, but this recipe is so delicious you should just go with it. I was definitely intimidated by lemon curd, since I’d never made it before. But, once again, I found myself with a ton … More Blueberry Lemon Curd Shortbread Bars
For many people, when the long summer days finally arrive, their diet shifts towards salads, green juice, and other lighter-than-usual meals. I guess I missed the memo, but I personally feel like we should be eating brownies all year. Don’t even get me started on ‘bikini-bodies’ (my body, when in a bikini, is a bikini … More Peanut Butter and Jelly Brownies
Last summer, I helped recipe test for a local blogger, writer, curator, food gift maker, Maggie Battista (she is the brains behind Eat Boutique). Her cookbook, Food Gift Love, which was released last fall, focuses on giftable foods and drinks. She provides simple recipes along with wrapping instructions for each. I’m a huge believer in gifting consumables, so … More Nectarine Strawberry Almond Crumble
Ever since we adopted Baxter, I’ve been trying out dog-friendly recipes for him to try here and there. Usually he eats them up, sometimes he spits them out, and occasionally he looks at me like I’m crazy and have offered him poison. I’d been seeing a lot about the benefits of coconut oil for dogs*, … More Fido Friendly Freeze-pops
