I’ve been trying to do my grocery shopping every 2 weeks, so my cart ends up being much fuller than usual. It also makes it easier to grab things I wouldn’t normally buy, since it feels like all the “rules” are out the window…and kind of like I’m on the show Supermarket Sweep lol. Anywho, … More Grocery Store Bakery Style Frosted Sugar Cookies
If you bake one thing during this pandemic / quarantine sitch, it has got to be these cookies. Last year, I shared a copycat of my all time favorite Levain cookie: the divine chocolate peanut butter. However, their original, which is a classic chocolate chip with walnuts, is a VERY close second. Stella Parks at … More Levain Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m not reeeaaally a chocolate dessert person, until I am. All it takes is a lil hankering for chocolate and it’s truly all I can think about. Recently I was jonesing for some classic crinkle top brownies… you know the kind that has a lighter colored top that almost looks paper thin? I found a … More Fudgy Crinkle Top Brownies
I’ve made many, many rice krispie treats over the years, and without fail every time they end up being kind of crunchy and frankly not that enjoyable. I came across this trick which incorporates sweetened condensed milk and I was blown away with how absolutely delicious and soft these remained over time (let’s be honest … More Brown Butter Soft Rice Krispie Treats
You can’t scroll for 2 minutes on Instagram without finding a Pumpkin dessert recipe, but when I was trying to find something new to make, I looked no further than one of the most inspirational accounts: ZoeBakes. She has THE BEST instastories, where she makes (sometimes) complicated desserts and other recipes look like a breeze. … More Salted Dark Chocolate Pepita Crunch Bars (No Bake)
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
