I have a bad habit of leaving cupboard doors open as I get things for what I’m making. I promptly bang my head on them as soon as possible after opening them. Not cool. I have to stop that. It was a habit of mine as a kid to sneak spoonfuls of cookie dough out of the fridge. The batter bowl was constantly full of chocolate chip cookie dough just begging for me to sample…
These cupcakes are a honey graham delight, topped with chocolate ganache and then twirly swirled with marshmallow frosting. They’re so downright fantastic they’re wrong. But if these cupcakes are wrong, I don’t want to be right. These cupcakes are a bit messy, but Jake says it’s how they are supposed to be since real s’mores are messy. And Jake knows a thing or two about snacks and s’mores. The original recipes makes 24 regular cupcakes.…
Your coffee is really lonely. It needs a friend in the form of this delicious biscotti. So make this and dunk it, already! This biscotti is a crunchy chocolate dream, and your coffee will thank you! These were described as tasting like cocoa puffs. So if you love cocoa puffs, there you go! If you hate cocoa puffs, it tastes nothing like them. Not a bit. It just tastes like cocoa in the best most…
These are basically the lovechild of a certain blueberry pancake and streusel topped coffeecake. They should’ve met years ago. Would you agree? So my parents came into town this weekend and it was up to my mom and I what we’d have for breakfast. We both happen to love pancakes and all things streusel and I happened to have blueberries, so here you go! It’s a dreamy concoction really. You might find yourself describing this…
I’m not a rule follower. Betty Crocker says to allow these to cool for a whole hour after baking. I ate one 15 minutes into that hour, and I don’t even care. Take that, Betty. These guys are 2/3 lemon + 1/3 orange, and rumor has it they can convert even the lemon bar haters out there. Jacob went from a hater to a participator. Believe it. Lemon Remix Bars Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker…
Last night I made dinner for my very best friend, Katie. Let me tell you a little bit about why we are friends. We are the kind of girls that love crepes for dinner with Magic Hat #9. We require coffee. Always. Morning and night. Don’t judge us. We mutually love brownies, puppies and Lady GaGa. We are both jealous of Zoey Deschanel’s bangs. We have the same birthday, exactly one year apart. We both…
Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere where my cactuses can live comfortably and not shiver on my windowsill. They are really mad it’s not summer. I’m kinda mad it’s not summer. Especially when I want to make a peachy fruity dessert of my dreams. Don’t worry though guys, it is really possible to have super delicious peaches despite the cold. While they may be cookies disguised as peaches, they are pretty and summery in a way…
I’m working on growing up. Sometimes I wear bright red lipstick. I (try to) wear high heels despite the icy sidewalks. And rumor has it adults eat oatmeal. If I’m an adult, and I can do what I want, I will have my oatmeal in a cookie and feel very mature about it. These cookies are brownie-esque since there is both cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate involved. So yeah, they can’t help but be related…
Even though I made Vanilla Macarons last week, I’d never tasted the authentic Parisian cookie. Until then I was simply in love with a cookie I’d never met. So today Jacob drove an hour to Cecilia’s Pastries to get real French macarons for us to sample so we could know for sure what they are supposed to taste like. They are amazing. Dreamy. Magical. Light. Pretty. chocolate + vanilla + coffee Now when I make macarons…
I’ve got my christmas tree on my mind. I’ve got it on my mind, because it’s currently still in my living room. I need to take it down before it becomes a Valentine’s day tree and then an Easter tree… Yeah, I need to take that tree down. But mostly I have chocolate on my mind. AND I got a this pretty cake stand for my birthday and it was dying to be super helpful. AND…
