Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

October 10, 2012 10 Comments

The problem with telling people at work that you’ll bake cupcakes for a coworker’s birthday party is that when you taste the batter and realize the cupcakes are going to be the most delicious things ever and you no longer want to share them with anybody, you have to bring them into the office anyway….read more »

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

September 30, 2012 4 Comments

The great thing about being able to bake is that there’s never a chance that our sugar cravings will go unsatisfied. In the mood for chocolate chip cookies? Gimme 30 minutes. Want some brownies? Let me see if there’s cocoa in the pantry. Feel like going to the store for a package of coffee cake?…read more »

S’mores Brownies

September 16, 2012 4 Comments

Hello hello! Did you guys have a good weekend? Dan and I did! We rented a cabin in Shenandoah Valley for my dad’s birthday, and it was awesome! We fished, we canoed, we hot-tubbed, and we demolished many many bottles of wine. The views were gorgeous, the air was crisp, and a fabulous time was had by…read more »

Nutella Buttercream Cookie Cups

August 27, 2012 4 Comments

I think it’s pretty well established at this point that I am a Nutella fiend. When I’m not eating it with a spoon, I’m sneaking it into just about everything I can get away with. Chocolate chip cookies? Yup. Banana bread? Definitely. Whoopie Pies? You bet. Bread pudding? Uh huh. I may not be able to tell…read more »

Guys, Just Putzing Around the Kitchen hit a pretty big milestone this week — 1 million page views! I know. It’s crazy.

Brown Butter Chocolate Candy Surprise Cookies

August 13, 2012 6 Comments

OK, so that title is a mouthful. But, so is this cookie. A gloriously buttery, chewy, tender, chocolate-y mouthful. A mouthful that has a delectable surprise in every bite. Mmmmmm. Have you ever tasted cookies made with brown butter? They’re A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I mean, I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like, but brown butter does…read more »

Good Old Fashioned Apple Pie

July 6, 2012 36 Comments

When you think about “America,” what comes to mind? Freedom? The Star Spangled Banner? Mel Gibson in the Patriot? I think of pie. Apple pie, to be exact.  Nothing is more American to me than apple pie. I mean, the saying “as American as apple pie” exists for a reason… The last time I made…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 »

Apple Goat Cheese Tarts

March 24, 2012 13 Comments

So, The Hunger Games movie premiered this week. Most. Exciting. News. Ever. I only discovered the books a few months ago but like most people I was hooked right away.  I tore through the series in about a week, and I’ve re-read all the books like 4 or 5 times in the last month alone….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 »
