Last night I was seized with the most irresistible urge to bake something. But what to bake? Nothing chocolate. I’m sick of chocolate, if you can believe it. Maybe a pie? Nah, too much work — no pre-made pie crusts in the freezer, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to start rolling out my…read more »
Homemade Oreo Cookies
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 »
Almost No-Bake Cheesecake
True or false: I have been dying to get my hands on some mini spring-form pans so that I can make adorable, baby-sized cheesecakes? True. So true! I’m a total sucker for miniaturized versions of regular things. In college, my dorm was filled with all kinds of crap that I bought for the sole reason…read more »
Apple Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts
This past weekend, in order to celebrate the fact that we now officially own our condo, Dan and I invited some friends over for a housewarming brunch. Dan was in charge of the eggs and bacon, and I tried my hand at doughnuts. Doughnuts are usually fried, right? That’s a problem, because not only do…read more »
Maple Fudge Cupcakes
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
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
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 »
Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
I’m constantly looking for reasons to bake, and friends’ birthdays are the best excuse to do it. Yesterday was my good friend Smriti’s special day, and she put in a request for carrot cake cupcakes. I love carrot cake and have a great recipe for it, so I was more than happy to oblige. Note to self:…read more »
Banana Nutella-Swirl Muffins
Day fifty trillion of the Snowpocalypse. No work, no school, no where to go but the kitchen. Which is where I discovered that I had a bunch of bananas ripening far too quickly on top of the fridge. Mmm, mushy bananas. Time to smash them up and bake something nice! This post from Meet Me in the…read more »
Ooey Gooey Monkey Bread
With the Snowpocalypse shutting down the city (and law school!) for the third day running, I was stuck in my apartment with nothing to do. The snow-covered trees and buildings outside reminded me of frosting, and I just happened to have sugar, flour, butter and cream cheese, so . . . obviously I had to…read more »
