I was going to tell you guys how I’ve been listening to the new Fiona Apple album on repeat. I was going to make a pizza, or focaccia bread, or quiche last weekend. I was going to sandwich chocolate in between these little cookies. I had plans like that. However, once I tasted these, I realized they need nothing at all! They taste like toffee and caramel! Brown butter is the best accessory these cookies could’ve…
I recently learned that peaches and raspberries baked together is called Melba. What a lovely name! What a lovely thought! I think that strawberry and rhubarb should have a name for their fruit friendship. They’re BFFs too, ya know. (Best Fruit Frends Forever.) Strawberry rhubarb pie and cinnamon rolls are my BFFs. Because of this fact, I’ve been thinking about how to combine these desserts for weeks. Consider this their love child. It’s true love.…
Elliot’s the kind of dude-pup that isn’t scared of eating flower shaped frozen yogurt. He’s not too manly for it. He doesn’t discriminate where treats are concerned. If he was a person he’d wear pink with total confidence. I always tell him when I’m making something for him. He tends to get impatient and riled up. He barks at me to hurry up, but I mean, you can’t rush a freezer. So basically, if it’s too hot…
Whipped cream and fruit, you guys. Summer basics. They’re packed into jars, and are occasionally patriotic. Consider these the american flag denim shorts of your summer dreams. Pretend you dream about shorts like that. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click here, here, and here for the first three posts. And meringues too! For the crunch-factor! Based on the meringues sweetness, I’m going to tell you right now to go light…
When it’s super toasty I avoid my oven. I give it the silent treatment. I don’t text it back. I hide it on facebook. The stovetop and I, however, are totally on speaking terms. I like to heat up my grill pan and cover it with sliced zucchinis. I like to put those little rounds in my pasta, with pesto, and (of course) on a quesadilla. I find that if I don’t hurry and cook,…
I want my whole world to be the color of strawberry sorbet. I’d like to match it to the paint sample of my life. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature.

This is one of those desserts where you take one bite and want to shout about it’s goodness to everyone near! But only your pup is near! So you tell him even though he can’t have chocolate so he can’t get thaaaaaaaaat excited. It’s one of those tasty treats that you almost eat in the car on your way to give it to someone. It’s the kind you bring into work to share, and eat…
We are getting matchy-matchy up in here. And somehow it works out looks-wise AND flavor-wise. These taste complex and lovely. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click HERE for the first post, and check back for recipes 3 and 4 in the next couple weeks! The salsa recipe is from Annie’s Eats, and she’s so right about it being salmon’s BFF. It’s magical really. And don’t even get me started about green…
Over the past couple months things have changed. You see, I cancelled my cable. (I was watching too much of the Oprah Winfrey Network anyway.) I’ve been purchasing the girliest bath products. My nails are chippy and my hair is up. And the weather’s changed too. It’s gotten REALLY hot, so I’ve been no baking things like these little squares of crunchy heaven. Can you believe I gave them all away? But who wouldn’t want…
