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 »

Nutty Nutella Banana Bread

February 23, 2012 Leave a Comment

So I’ve been told that today is National Banana Bread Day. This is the first time I’ve heard of this “holiday”, but I’m more than happy to celebrate. I love banana bread! It was one of the first things I learned how to bake as a kid — I still remember cutting the recipe out of my Sunday comics one…read more »

Boston Cream Cupcakes

February 5, 2012 46 Comments

It’s T-2 hours and 11 minutes until the Superbowl, guys. I haven’t glanced at a clock in a couple hours, so how do I know that? I’ll tell you how — Dan has been counting down the hours, every hour, on the hour, out loud, since he woke up this morning. Yeah. He is really excited about this…read more »

Nutella Double Chip Cookies

January 16, 2012 10 Comments

Hello, my name is Tina, and I am a Nutella addict. I eat it slathered on anything remotely slather-able so that it doesn’t look like I’m just eating Nutella, I order strawberry and Nutella crepes so that I can very casually suck out all the filling, and I have to stick any jar of the stuff…read more »

Oreo Truffles

December 16, 2011 16 Comments

When I was a kid, the holidays were all about “receiving” — gifts from my parents, gifts from my relatives, gifts from Santa…Nothing made me happier than seeing the stack of presents under our Christmas tree get bigger with each wave of guests that came by. Ah, childhood…Luckily, as I’ve gotten older and started having…read more »

S’mores Pie

September 25, 2011 3 Comments

Call me crazy, but in my mind s’mores are a fall treat, not summer. I know, I know…summer camp and overnight camping trips –> camp fires –> s’mores and ghost stories. Camp fires remind me of autumn and cold weather, though. Maybe it’s because I went to math camp instead of summer camp. Or, maybe…read more »

Triple Chocolate Loaf Cake

September 20, 2011 2 Comments

For once, I don’t have a back story to explain my motivation for making this cake. And, I can’t think of any anecdotes associated with either chocolate or loaf cake. I just really wanted something sweet and chocolate-y to go with my turkey sandwich. (BTW, I have balcony furniture now! You like?) Luckily, I had…read more »

Dulce de Leche-Nutella Swirl Loaf Cake

June 26, 2011 6 Comments

There are still a few things Dan and I need to do to fully recover from our Great Beach Robbery — getting new driver’s licenses, for example — but everything is closed on Sundays, so we’ve been having a pretty lazy day so far. We slept in until the hungry meows of our kitties could…read more »

S’mores Cupcakes

March 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

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 »
