Ok so pies are not my jam. Well wait. I like pies. I like to eat pies. I like to make pies. Pies stress me out though. I get Dough Anxiety. It’s a registered thing in the uh DSM-5. For real. (Ok, don’t dig too deep.) No doubt many of us have Dough Anxiety. […]
Suddenly it seems I have a mountain of things I feel the need to share with you Right.Now. Soooo many things! How do I pick?! I’m all a’-tizzy, what to do?! And I apologize, there’s not much healthy about these. shrug I suspect you’ll forgive me. These are hands down, probably the most insane thing […]
Yeah I know. It’s a mouthful, Salted Pretzel Ice Cream in a Chocolate Cake Crumb Pie Crust. I mean hey, what can I say, it was Mother’s Day?! The bonus of today’s efforts is that you can use either recipe separately. Make the ice cream and enjoy simply in a dish. With hot fudge and […]
Last year for my mom’s birthday, I sought out a cake recipe for her. And of course it has to be darn freakin’ Good, she’s my mom. Mexican Chocolate Cake with Mascarpone Whipped Cream Frosting it was! At the time, I’m not entirely positive why I opted for this particular recipe as it seemed a […]
We’re gobbling down dinner when Mike eagerly queries, “what kind of cookies did you make??” “S’mores cookies.” I watch the disappointment slowly ebb over his being. “Sorry babe. I know you don’t like s’mores.” He shrugs dejectedly. “I don’t get it babe, how do you not like s’mores?” Really, I don’t get it. I have […]

One fine evening, I was chatting with our pal Breezy and she mentioned her birthday was fast approaching. Ahhhh, birthdays. Right?! When you’re eight or so, fan-tab-u-lous!! Nothing much better than a birthday and a cake or a pie and a party and woo hoo! When you’re ahem, older, ehhh, let’s not talk […]
I love ice cream. We both do, Mike and I. Any time of year. Minus ten outside, bowl of ice cream please. We impatiently await Tastee Freez aka The Freeze reopening in spring and joy of joys, hearing the soft serve ice cream truck clattering down our block that first really warm day….ah yes. Ice […]
Let me get this out of the way: these are stupid good. You know that good. That one where you get the wiggles, your tastebuds flutter, your eyes roll into the back of your head, knees buckle, your jaw drops. Yep. Just take one bite, I thought, no big deal, you’ll be fiiine. You gotta […]
The first time I made my own pie crust I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. Fresh out of college, I looked up a recipe in my trusty Pillsbury Cookbook and made it. The following day at work, I mentioned that I’d made a pie with a homemade crust, and one of the […]
