I noticed the other day that I’ve been making a lot of desserts lately. My last five or six posts have been sweet things — girl scout cookies, molten lava cake, mini pies, etc. Come to think of it, I haven’t made a proper meal since the day we had Chicken Fried Steak for lunch….read more »
S’mores Cupcakes
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 »
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Growing up, I was never a fan of mac n’ cheese. My only experiences with it were (1) at school, the goopy orange stuff congealing (uneaten) on my lunch tray, (2) on TV, in commercials with that orange dinosaur swimming in rivers of cheese sauce, and (3) at Dan’s fraternity, watching his brothers suck down…read more »
Mushroom Tart
This post is kinda misleading because I did not cook a single meal this week. Yup. It’s true. Zero. Cooking. We ate out 3 out of the 5 days, ordered in another day, and the rest of the time we ate leftovers. The tart you see here was actually last weekend — I just forgot…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 »
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 »
Eggs-in-a-Hole
Dan (on the phone): “What are you up to?” Me: “I’m making eggs in a hole.” Dan: “…why are you in a hole?” Me: “No, I’m making eggs in a hole. Like…cooking eggs inside a piece of bread.” Dan: “Weird.” Actually, eggs-in-a-hole aren’t weird at all! Super delicious, maybe, but not weird. And it’s really easy…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 »
