Chocolate Covered Bride and Groom Strawberries…and a Giveaway! [GIVEAWAY CLOSED]

August 9, 2012 22 Comments

A few days ago I got a text from my friend Sarah (and fellow food blogger) at 2am. It was a picture of a ring, and said simply “wanna plan a wedding?” In my half-asleep state, I didn’t fully process the message and just rolled back over in bed. It wasn’t until I woke up the…read more »

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bites

June 1, 2012 14 Comments

So, you may have noticed that I’ve been M.I.A. from this blog lately. Sorry about that! Things have been kind of hectic around here, and between all the traveling we’ve been doing, my bar exam review classes, and work, I just haven’t had the time or energy to cook and blog. It doesn’t help that…read more »

Mixed Berry Crumb Bars

April 29, 2012 4 Comments

What happens when you buy a ton of strawberries and blueberries because you’re trying to get more fruit into your diet, but then forget about them because you have a busy week and don’t have time to pack lunch? You get a fridge full of sad, mushy berries, that’s what. Sad, mushy berries that need…read more »

Nutella S’mores Bars

April 23, 2012 14 Comments

So, it’s my birthday tomorrow. Usually I’m one of those really annoying 20-somethings that complains about birthdays being nothing more than reminders of my slow and interminable march toward the grave, but I’m feeling pretty zen this year. Life is good, no complaints here. So, instead of being filled with gloomy thoughts of mortality, I’ve been thinking about what dessert…read more »

Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies

April 8, 2012 14 Comments

Happy Easter, everyone! This is going to be a super short post because I’m supposed to hide Easter eggs for my friend Emily in a little bit and I’m running kind of late. Sundays are not conducive for getting things done. So, why am I playing the Easter Bunny for Emily? Because she has awesome…read more »

Strawberry Crepe Cupcakes

March 19, 2012 31 Comments

As a general rule, I don’t love cupcakes unless they’re in carrot cake or chocolate-form. Vanilla, especially, is a very “blah” flavor for me. I would never eat a vanilla cupcake voluntarily. They’re boring, and I’ve been forced to eat far too many over-frosted, over-sugared vanilla treats at birthday parties over the years. But these cupcakes…I would eat them again,…read more »

Boozy Irish Cupcakes

March 14, 2012 28 Comments

The last time I had an Irish Car Bomb was senior year of college. As I recall, I didn’t even really want to drink it. I hate beer, and I stay away from whiskey if I can help it, but my friend Melissa told me that if I chugged the drink really quickly all the…read more »

Chewy Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies

February 25, 2012 12 Comments

OK, raise your hand if you liked oatmeal cookies when you were a kid. Anyone? No? You in the back, put your hand down, I don’t believe you. Nobody liked oatmeal cookies when they were kids. Those hard, lumpy, raisin-filled things were are always the reject cookies at kids’ birthday parties, lingering on the table…read more »

Open Faced BLTs

Have you guys discovered the joys of oven-crisped bacon yet? If you haven’t you’re really missing out. It is so good! Better than griddle bacon, better than pan-fried bacon…this stuff is in a league of its own. For real. To be fair, bacon is pretty much always delicious; but, something magical happens when you cook it…read more »

Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes

January 28, 2012 62 Comments

Guys, I slept until noon today. It was amazing. To be honest, I probably could have slept for at least another hour or two, but I felt kind of guilty. It’s not like I had errands I needed get done or anything, but Dan had been awake since 9am, and even the cats, who are…read more »
