Charlene’s Red Velvet Cupcakes

December 15, 2013 10 Comments

The first time I made red velvet cake was in back in law school, around the time I started this blog. It was my friend Jill’s birthday, and red velvet was her favorite, so I decided to surprise her with a homemade birthday cake. I hadn’t made a lot of non-box mix cakes at that…read more »

Brownie Sandwich Cookies with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting

October 16, 2013 1 Comment

This may come as a surprise for those of you who know me but…I was productive last weekend. How productive? Super productive. Thanks in large part to the efforts and encouragement my mother-in-law, Dan and I finally painted all the rooms in our condo, cleaned everything, organized the pantry, took a crap load of old…read more »

Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes

July 31, 2013 14 Comments

There are so many things I want to tell you guys about these cupcakes, but passionate, emotional poetry about food would probably come off a little strange to most readers so all I’m going to say is “YUM”. Maybe even “SUPER YUM”, with a side of “NOM NOM NOM”. If you are a choco-holic, Nutella addict, or…read more »

Single-Serving GF Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie

May 17, 2013 40 Comments

For the last two weeks, I’ve been going gluten-free. Not for health reasons — thinking back on the amount of wheat-packed bread and baked goods I’ve happily consumed over the years, I’m pretty positive I’m not allergic to gluten. No, this is all about vanity. It all started when I was griping to my friend…read more »

No-Churn Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

April 22, 2013 35 Comments

For my birthday this year, I decided I wanted to be low key. I figured since I’ve already started selectively forgetting how old I am, it’s probably silly to make a big deal about my “special day” with the usual group dinner party/bar-hopping extravaganza. So instead, Dan and I celebrated my 27th a few days…read more »

S’mores Blossoms

February 27, 2013 13 Comments

Wow, it has been forever and a half since my last post, huh? Sorry guys. It’s been a little busy around here. No time to cook during the week, and no light to take pictures after work even if I did have the energy/motivation to cook. I would try to be a better person/blogger/fiance and…read more »

Apple Crunch Pie Apple Cups

January 6, 2013 22 Comments

For me, the hardest part of dieting is cutting back on desserts. More lean protein, less carbs? Fine, hand me the chicken breast, and I’ll give you the bread basket. More fruits and veggies? Awesome! I love fruit, and can do some serious damage to a pile of greens. But when I see a plate…read more »

Triple Chocolate Candy Bar Brownies

December 16, 2012 10 Comments

You know how sometimes, when you’re on a diet, and you’re trying to be really good and not eat too many carbs or bad fats or refined sugars, somehow instead of losing weight you end up gaining weight because thinking about all the things you’re not supposed to eat just makes you crave those things…read more »

Chocolate Chip Toffee Nut Cookies

December 10, 2012 5 Comments

Does it ever feel like you’re constantly searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie? For me, definitely yes. A good 25% of my bookmarked recipes are for chocolate chip cookies. At least. Possibly more. What can I say, I’m a sucker for soft cookies with chocolate in them. And, if the posts on FoodGawker, Tastespotting, etc….read more »

Three Layer Fudge

December 6, 2012 4 Comments

What is it about fudge that makes me think of the holidays? Is it a pop culture thing? Could it be that fudge is too rich and melt-y to eat in the summer? Or maybe it’s because the only time I eat fudge is when someone brings a big box of it to my parents’…read more »
