Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

October 10, 2012 10 Comments

The problem with telling people at work that you’ll bake cupcakes for a coworker’s birthday party is that when you taste the batter and realize the cupcakes are going to be the most delicious things ever and you no longer want to share them with anybody, you have to bring them into the office anyway….read more »

The great thing about being able to bake is that there’s never a chance that our sugar cravings will go unsatisfied. In the mood for chocolate chip cookies? Gimme 30 minutes. Want some brownies?

S’mores Brownies

September 16, 2012 4 Comments

Hello hello! Did you guys have a good weekend? Dan and I did! We rented a cabin in Shenandoah Valley for my dad’s birthday, and it was awesome! We fished, we canoed, we hot-tubbed, and we demolished many many bottles of wine. The views were gorgeous, the air was crisp, and a fabulous time was had by…read more »

Nutella Buttercream Cookie Cups

August 27, 2012 4 Comments

I think it’s pretty well established at this point that I am a Nutella fiend. When I’m not eating it with a spoon, I’m sneaking it into just about everything I can get away with. Chocolate chip cookies? Yup. Banana bread? Definitely. Whoopie Pies? You bet. Bread pudding? Uh huh. I may not be able to tell…read more »

Brown Butter Chocolate Candy Surprise Cookies

August 13, 2012 6 Comments

OK, so that title is a mouthful. But, so is this cookie. A gloriously buttery, chewy, tender, chocolate-y mouthful. A mouthful that has a delectable surprise in every bite. Mmmmmm. Have you ever tasted cookies made with brown butter? They’re A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I mean, I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like, but brown butter does…read more »

Chocolate Covered Bride and Groom Strawberries…and a Giveaway! [GIVEAWAY CLOSED]

August 9, 2012 22 Comments

A few days ago I got a text from my friend Sarah (and fellow food blogger) at 2am. It was a picture of a ring, and said simply “wanna plan a wedding?” In my half-asleep state, I didn’t fully process the message and just rolled back over in bed. It wasn’t until I woke up the…read more »

Creamy Chocolate Cherry Bars

July 24, 2012 14 Comments

After the first day of the bar exam, my brain is mush and I’m bone-tired from being up since 5am, but…my stomach and tastebuds are happy. Very happy. These luscious, creamy chocolate cherry bars were meant to be a post-exam present to myself (bars to celebrate the end of the bar…heh heh heh), but I dipped in…read more »

Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes

June 24, 2012 9 Comments

We bought the strangest bunch of bananas last week. They were green when we got them, which is fine, but what’s unusual is that they stayed green. We kept waiting for them to ripen and turn yellow so we could eat them, but…they just kept on being green until suddenly there were 7 very brown and…read more »

OK, stay with me on this one, guys. Chocolate beer batter cupcakes. Maple bacon cream cheese frosting. Crunchy maple-glazed bacon bits. I know it all sounds strange (and a little wrong) on paper, but if you can wrap your mind around all the components and work up the nerve to take the first bite…these cupcakes are the…read more »
