One of the best parts of early spring (and then all of summer) is that good ol’ ice cream truck rattlin’ down the block with its slightly grating (haha) sing-songy song that gets stuck in your head, the whirring condenser blowing like mad, the bright lights blazing like a slice of heaven has opened up, […]
Baking for breakfast, yes, it’s definitely a thing, as we’re quite aware. Now, see, I am not and have never been a morning person, much to the frustration and chagrin of pretty much every morning person I know. Or, everyone. I just can’t. I have tried. I’ve had very early morning jobs. Early classes. Nothing […]
Chocolate? You want some chocolate?! Baby I gotchu some chocolate right here. Breakfast chocolate at that. Yeah! Holy bah-jeebers, this thing is otherworldly. It’s a bread, or more bread than a coffee cake, more bread than cake, more bread than pastry so the original name is a bit of a misnomer. There is yeast […]
Yeah, no, there is nothing basic about this quote unquote basic bread. Actually, it’s utterly absurd to call it “basic.” Five-star. Champion. Award-winning. First-rate. Outstanding…I mean, I dunno how best to describe this here darn bread. Nothing seems quite right to fully explain, give grasp, elaborate on how deliciously majestic it truly is. I’m not […]
Ahhh, Hot Fudge Pudding Cake. Man. Look, I know, this is not an earth-shattering brand new recipe by any means. Heck, my mom made this for us for as long as I can remember and that’s a mighty long time. You can find just as many versions of this online as you can, well, people. […]
Ya know how you get that craving for something specific, a baked good in this instance obviously, and you want it to be exactly a specific certain way but you currently don’t have a recipe for whatever it is you have in mind and you research around trying to find what it is exactly that […]
I know, it’s probably pretty obvious by now that I’m going to lean towards dessert options that are, let’s say, full-on, all in, you-only-live-once. I’m not sure why I thought to try out this recipe one day. Likely because it just sounded delicious, and I’m all for delicious. That, and I probably had some Greek […]
I know. This seems silly. You can run right out to the store, pop a coupla’ bucks, run home and you’ve got yourself chocolate wafer cookies. But heh, but this is a baking blog, not a grocery store blog! And you have to understand, these cookies are killer. Holy bazoingas are they tasty. The cookie […]
I’m going to apologize in advance for this post, my lack of brain power and any off-kilter comedic moments. Picked up the flu. Yeah, it’s been fun. Generally I’m quite adept at evading the flu; it helps to work from home. Lucky for me, I’ve run across its foulness at best maybe three times in […]
As a kid, my mom didn’t buy us loads of sugary things. Which is fine, for sure, obviously. (Grown up perspective…) And quite honestly, I don’t remember incessantly pestering her for all things sugar either. Mmm, I mean, I did request but I’m sure I wasn’t a twit about it. Nope was acceptable and I […]
