Short Stack Cookies

October 9, 2011 7 Comments

Confession: I’m not crazy about pancakes. I’ll make ’em (for Dan, mainly), I’ll eat ’em, but I don’t love ’em. If there are chocolate chips involved, I’ll enjoy them more, but that’s mainly because of the chocolate. I have nothing against pancakes, really. It’s just that, given a choice, I’d far rather have something savory…read more »

S’mores Pie

September 25, 2011 3 Comments

Call me crazy, but in my mind s’mores are a fall treat, not summer. I know, I know…summer camp and overnight camping trips –> camp fires –> s’mores and ghost stories. Camp fires remind me of autumn and cold weather, though. Maybe it’s because I went to math camp instead of summer camp. Or, maybe…read more »

Triple Chocolate Loaf Cake

September 20, 2011 2 Comments

For once, I don’t have a back story to explain my motivation for making this cake. And, I can’t think of any anecdotes associated with either chocolate or loaf cake. I just really wanted something sweet and chocolate-y to go with my turkey sandwich. (BTW, I have balcony furniture now! You like?) Luckily, I had…read more »

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

September 13, 2011 26 Comments

First Patriots game of the season was last night, and Dan was giddy with excitement. Me? Not so much. As dreamy as Tom Brady is, my favorite part of watching football is the eating. Chips and dips…wings…pizza. Mmm, junk food! I saw this recipe for pizza puffs on FoodGawker and knew right away that I was going…read more »

Chinese Bakery-Style Birthday Cake with Strawberry Mousse Filling

September 12, 2011 7 Comments

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I made my dad a Chinese bakery-style cake for his birthday. It was just like the one I made for my mom last year, except instead of using vanilla custard and peaches/kiwis, I filled this one with strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries. I know. I’m on a strawberry kick….read more »

Blueberry Muffins

August 30, 2011 8 Comments

I woke up this morning with the most intense craving for a gigantic blueberry muffin. You know, one of those sugar-crusted monstrosities from Costco that’s packed to bursting with fat blueberries. Those things are so bad for you, but they’re so delicious! They’re really just dessert masquerading as breakfast. (Which is fine by me —…read more »

Peanut Butter Cream Pie

August 14, 2011 3 Comments

Last Sunday, food blogger Jennifer Perillo’s husband suffered a massive and unexpected heart attack and passed away. He loved peanut butter cream pie, and as a tribute to him, Jennifer asked everyone to join her in celebrating his life and honoring his memory by making the dessert he loved so much. I have never met…read more »

Cheesy Creamy Shrimp Spaghetti

August 5, 2011 2 Comments

So, it’s been a while since my last post, huh? Yeah. Things have been a little hectic around here. So, unsurprisingly, Dan and I have been doing a whole lot of Chinese delivery-ing, and very little cooking. I made fried chicken last weekend for my friend Alex’s birthday in NY, but…all the pictures are on…read more »

Zucchini Cakes

July 24, 2011 99 Comments

I think it’s safe to say that the zucchinis have won. Dan and I are officially sick of the stuff — we’ve eaten zucchini in some form or another every single day this week. Roasted, mainly, but also sauteed, mixed in with scrambled eggs, and cut into strips for fries. These zucchini cakes were a…read more »

Butterbeer Cupcakes

July 14, 2011 3 Comments

OK, raise your hand if you’re excited about Harry Potter 7.2 coming out this week. I am super excited! Like millions of other people out there, I am a die hard HP fan. I basically grew up with the characters! I can still remember reading the first book in 6th grade and thinking “man…this is…read more »
