Peanut Butter Cup Bars

July 9, 2011 3 Comments

A lot of people love chocolate and peanut butter, but my friend Emily really loves it. Like, “possibly bordering on an unhealthy addiction” kind of love. She actually refers to Reese’s peanut butter cups as “crack,” and goes out of her way to avoid the stuff because if there’s any of it around the house, she’ll keep eating…read more »

Dulce de Leche-Nutella Swirl Loaf Cake

June 26, 2011 6 Comments

There are still a few things Dan and I need to do to fully recover from our Great Beach Robbery — getting new driver’s licenses, for example — but everything is closed on Sundays, so we’ve been having a pretty lazy day so far. We slept in until the hungry meows of our kitties could…read more »

Turtle Cheesecake Truffles

May 15, 2011 6 Comments

I meant to make these for Dan’s mom on Mother’s Day, since turtle chocolate is one of her favorite candy treats. But, things got busy and I didn’t have time to whip up a batch of truffles before our trip to Boston last weekend. I ended up buying her some Godiva chocolates, but I really…read more »

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 11, 2011 1 Comment

Dan thinks I’m crazy because, sometimes, I get overwhelmed by an intense desire to bake cookies at 10:30pm on a Sunday. “You didn’t feel like cooking dinner just a few hours ago,” he says in puzzlement, “So why the hell are you suddenly in the mood to bake cookies? We’re going to bed in an…read more »

S’mores Cupcakes

March 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

I have a real soft spot in my heart for s’mores. Yes, they’re delicious and evoke happy childhood memories, but they’re also what I used to win my way into Dan’s heart. Early into our awkward and nerdy courtship (we pretty much fell in love after discovering a mutual obsession with Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series),…read more »

Molten Lava Cake

March 13, 2011 2 Comments

So Dan and I bought an elliptical machine today. My mom told me a few weeks ago that I was looking fatter than ever, so exercise has been on my mind a lot lately. I went running a few times…embarked on an 18 mile bike ride one day…hiked in the Great Falls….and then hit a…read more »

Homemade Oreo Cookies

December 17, 2010 3 Comments

This week has been a blur of cookie baking. Not cake, not pie…just cookies. Thumbprint cookies, key lime pie cookies…and now homemade oreo cookies. Phew!   Why so many cookies, you ask? Because just as I was pondering what to get everyone at the office for Christmas, the good people at HR sent out an…read more »

Maple Fudge Cupcakes

November 8, 2010 2 Comments

I’m in a great mood this weekend. Dan and I are happily settled into our new condo, the kitty is doing very well, we finally have furniture in our bedroom, and I passed the bar exam. How do I choose to celebrate these wonderful events? Nights of debauchery? Fine dining on the town? Nope! I…read more »

Crepes with Nutella and Strawberries

June 2, 2010 1 Comment

Crepes and I have kind of a tense relationship. Back in junior year of high school, when I was young and inexperienced, I started “dating” a guy named Mike. I use quotes because I was 15, painfully awkward, and completely out of touch with my girly feelings — I had no idea how to deal…read more »

Caramel Cookie Sandwiches with Chocolate Ganache Filling

April 14, 2010 1 Comment

Have you ever noticed that it’s times when you need to be the most focused and productive that you have the least motivation to get anything done? Finals are less than a week away, and I have yet to finish outlining for either of my tests. Am I locked away in some dark corner of…read more »
