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 »

Bananas Foster Trifle

May 1, 2011 2 Comments

I wanted to make trifles out of my strawberry rum pound cake a couple weeks ago, but my stemless wineglasses proved to be less than satisfactory vessels for putting it all together. Nothing layered properly, and my fingers kept smearing stuff. So, I ordered a set of mini trifle bowls, and they arrived a few…read more »

Mini Lemon Curd Tarts

April 23, 2011 Leave a Comment

Remember when you were a kid and after you got a shot the doctor would give you a lollipop for being brave? The lollipops were always red, purple, or yellow, and were cherry, grape, or lemon flavored. I always picked the red lollipop, because red was my favorite color, and cherry tasted the best. Yellow-lemon?…read more »

Strawberry Rum Pound Cake

April 22, 2011 Leave a Comment

The problem with strawberries is that (1) my grocery store never has the the really fresh-looking ones, and (2) they go bad so quickly. I bought a big carton of promising-looking berries last weekend, and three days later they were dark in patches, simultaneously shriveled and mushy, and giving off faintly alcoholic fumes. Mmm, over-ripe…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 »

Mini Blueberry Pies

Happy Pi(e) Day, everyone! What is Pi Day, you ask? It’s a holiday commemorating the mathematical constant pi. Invented in 1989 by Larry Shaw, a physicist at the San Francisco Exploratorium, it was officially recognized by the US House of Reps as “National Pi Day” in 2009. Basically, it’s a kind of nerdy day that…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 »

New Orleans-Style Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce

March 11, 2011 Leave a Comment

Happy belated Mardi Gras, everyone! I was planning to make New Orleans-themed foods for Fat Tuesday  this year — gumbo, jambalaya, king cake, beignets, etc. — but work this week has been all kinds of hectic, and I was too tired to cook anything but leftovers in the microwave. Now that Mardi Gras is over,…read more »

Tiramisu

February 21, 2011 2 Comments

So last week one of my interns told me that if I could successfully make tiramisu and post about it, his wife would officially start following/reading my blog. Well! I’m never one to turn down new readership, so….challenge accepted. If I had known how difficult it would be to track down all the ingredients for…read more »
