Choooocolate pudding, ah yes. I have loved chocolate pudding since, gosh, probably since I was one minute old. Ok yeah, no, my mom did not feed me chocolate pudding as an infant. Or, not that I’m aware. Although if she had, she’d have deserved Mom of the Year title. Well, she does anyway so […]
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 […]
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’ve become obsessed with Mediterranean foods and recipes lately—mostly prompted by my failed attempts to make a good Italian/French loaf. I mean, the bread was fine, but it wasn’t great, so in my quest to learn how to make a truly great loaf, I’ve fallen into a Mediterranean rabbit hole and gotten stuck in traditional […]
Oh. These Gingerbread Cookies. Oh. By the time I share this though, the major cookie baking holidays are over, gingerbread long forgotten, and we’re sailing towards a new year. A new decade! Wow. Ok but do some incredibly serious planning ahead and add these cookies to your list for next year, trust me. Or pffffttt, […]
I can’t stop eating this cake. It’s light, yet moist, and intensely lemony—which is unusual in a lemon cake and what makes this one outstanding. And I kind of stumbled upon it by accident. Earlier this week, my husband had a function to attend that required baked goods. Since I had a big ol’ bag […]
My house smells amazing right now. Sensational, in fact. The last time it smelled like this was several years ago when I made these S’mores Bars for a holiday party we were hosting. They were SO delicious, SO I-can’t-stop-eating-them yummy, that I was counting my lucky stars that I’d made them for a pile of […]
Eons ago my folks gifted me a Kitchen-Aid mixer for the holidays, old news, I know. I remember my mom saying to me years prior to that that it’d be a wedding gift. The wedding didn’t happen until years later, ha, so, whew, glad they didn’t wait, haha! Ok so I was thrilled. Of course, […]
