Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

January 27, 2014 18 Comments

This post is inspired by the three-layer chocolate mousse cake I had at my friend Dave’s house last weekend. Our friend Doug was in town to celebrate his last pre-30s birthday, and his brother’s awesome girlfriend made him this gorgeous cake as a special birthday treat. And let me just say that, although I’ve only…read more »

DIY Nutella

January 24, 2014 13 Comments

Guys. Remember how I have a rule about not letting myself keep Nutella in the house? Because I have serious Nutella–addiction issues and am prone to gorging myself on that smooth, creamy, choco-nutty crack by the spoonful until I make myself sick? Well. I threw that rule right out the window last weekend and made my…read more »

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 »

OREO Cookie Ball Snowmen

December 8, 2013 4 Comments

A few weeks ago Yummly asked me if I wanted to be part of their OREO holiday campaign. To participate, all I had to do was come up with a fun, festive treat using Oreo’s classic cookie ball recipe. I was immediately on board because (1) I love OREOs, and (2) what’s not to love…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 »

Salted Dark Chocolate Caramel Corn

October 1, 2013 2 Comments

I’ve mentioned this before, but I am not a fan of popcorn. Put all the butter and salt on it you want – it still tastes/feels like you’re eating styrofoam. Buttery, salty styrofoam. Pour some caramel sauce on it, though, and you’ve got a whole other story. I don’t know what happens, but sugary syrup…read more »

Peanut Butter & Vanilla Ice Cream Brownie Cake

September 15, 2013 6 Comments

So…you may have noticed that there’s been very little activity on the blog lately. Zero activity, actually. For a whole month. Didja miss me? I missed you! Please don’t think I stopped loving you – I’ve just been a little busy lately. Busy and spectacularly unmotivated to cook. Because, you know…I was getting married. It’s amazing how…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 »

Fudgy GF Brownies

May 29, 2013 10 Comments

Happy belated Memorial Day, everyone! Did you guys have a good time? Dan and I went up to Massachusetts with my parents this weekend, and it was so much fun. Dan’s mom threw me an amazing bridal shower with awesome food, and I had a blast hanging out with my favorite ladies and opening all…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 »
