brown butter tahini chocolate chip cookies

Brown Butter Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies

August 31, 2018

This recipe has come up many times on my instagram feed over the year, and I finally got to making them a few weeks back. I’m sorry to say I should NOT have waited so long!!! Fresh out of the oven, these cookies were the gooey, chocolatey, nutty cookies of my dreams. The tahini was a … More Brown Butter Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Blueberry Crumb Cake

July 20, 2018

In the heat of late July, it pains me to have to turn on the oven. However, occasionally I’ll see a recipe that will force me to wake up early just so I can crank it up. This is THE recipe. I shared this cake in my office recently and it was quite the hit. … More Blueberry Crumb Cake

rhubarb breakfast cake

Rhubarb Breakfast Cake

June 11, 2018

Despite having a rhubarb plant in my backyard growing up, I had never eaten rhubarb as the star ingredient in a recipe until this cake! Every time rhubarb season arose, my mom would cut our rhubarb and then pick (or buy) strawberries to make her pie, tart, or jam recipe. I certainly didn’t understand the … More Rhubarb Breakfast Cake

Sweet and Spicy Pepperoni Pizza

October 16, 2017

I’m back! If you saw on my instagram feed, I recently got married 🙂 I didn’t anticipate taking a break from the blog, but wedding planning (especially in the last few weeks leading up to the big day!) kind of overtook my life for a little while. I’m happy to say Andrew and I had … More Sweet and Spicy Pepperoni Pizza

sweet and spicy brussels sprouts

Sweet and Spicy Bacon Brussels Sprouts

April 26, 2017

I go through somewhat extreme phases when it comes to food. For example, I ate  brussels sprouts every week for months (maybe even years) but randomly hit a brussels sprout wall and didn’t touch them for like 6 months following. I’m finally back in brussels sprouts land, and diving in head first. This recipe is nothing new, … More Sweet and Spicy Bacon Brussels Sprouts

peanut butter chocolate chip blondies

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies

April 7, 2017

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

caramel apple cheesecake bars

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars

March 20, 2017

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

Orange Chocolate Pound Cake

February 16, 2017

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

peanut butter white chocolate holiday crack

Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Holiday Crack

November 23, 2016

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

Salted Caramel Apple Blondies

October 26, 2016

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 grew up in Rochester, NY and am making Salem, MA my home. I'm a home cook, yoga novice, and lover of all things dog (especially mine, Baxter). I work as a digital strategy consultant at IBM iX. I'm based out of Cambridge, MA, but travel all over for work. One of the best perks of my jobs is scoping out the food scene in tons of cities around the world! I think all the best foods have elements of crunch, salt and sweetness, and I always save the best bite for last.
