I’m excited by these bars. You might say that I am excited by all bars, which wouldn’t be entirely wrong (remember the Lemon Bars? Or the Cherry Chew Bars? Or the Fudge-Stuffed Chocolate Cookie Brownie Bars, which I had almost forgotten about?). Yeah, I do have a thing for bars. And now I have a [...]

Any time you have an opportunity to sandwich two kick ass cookies together with Marshmallow Fluff as the glue, you know you’ve got a recipe for fun on your hands. These cookies are a veritable party- and even if it’s just you in the house, have a party for one. (Which might be better anyway, [...]

Totally adorable. Totally cinnamon-sugar-tastic. Totally something you must make this weekend, so you can have biscuits for breakfast and then these little biscuit bites all freaking day long. I think you’ll agree that eating 5 little weensie dessert-like things really isn’t the same as eating a normal-size dessert-like thing. And these biscuit bites can’t really [...]

I have been holding this recipe out on you. But I think you deserve to know about it now. It’s one of my Top 10 Desserts Ever- and trust me when I tell you it’s a long, long, long list that I’ve carefully selected the Top 10 from. It might even make my Top 5, [...]

Yeah, you probably don’t want to over whip your cream to the point where it’s the consistency of whipped butter. Stiff, whipped butter. Banana Coconut Cream Pie is a beautiful thing, and deserves a perfectly-beaten crown of whipped cream that’s pillowy and soft and smooth. Not the kind you have to actually cut through with [...]

Let’s get this over with upfront: I’d like to apologize to anyone who doesn’t live in Canada, because a key ingredient in this recipe is a mainstay on Canadian supermarket shelves, but elusive to Americans. The Brits- I think you’re screwed too. Not sure about anyone else out there. You can totally get this important [...]

Old Faithful bit the biscuit. (No, not like my most recent recipe for disaster- the sad Buttermilk Biscuits that failed to rise because I failed to add baking soda… a small but sort of important detail.) This disaster might not seem like a disaster to you at all, but hear me out. I had been [...]

I recently announced my intention to pay more attention to the Fruit when baking, in light of the whole spring season thing going on outdoors. (Oh, and because I have been baking with a whole hell of a lot of chocolate lately, which is really quite a wonderful thing and a problem not worth correcting, [...]

I have to confess something. I have had a crush on biscuits since I was a teenager. My second job ever was at a mall food court restaurant called Grandma Lee’s, and in addition to mind-blowing butter tarts (which I really will recreate one day- they’re on the massive list of “Things I Must Bake [...]

”SH*T.” That’s what you say when you realize after you’ve patted your mound of Buttermilk Biscuit dough out before cutting it into cute little circles that you’ve FORGOTTEN THE BAKING SODA. Some ingredients are okay to forget. For example, when you’re making a batch of the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownies and you forget to add the [...]

This cake will keep you coming back for more, and it’s not just because it’s baked into a sunflower shape (although gimmicky shapes are enticing, aren’t they?). This cake will grab you because it’s stunningly simple and pure. Lemon and vanilla are classics, and neither one tries to one-up the other in this recipe. They [...]

What is better than a cakey, soft banana muffin in the morning, made rich with buttermilk? Oh, I know- a buttermilk banana muffin with butter melting all over it. Seriously- these muffins are so light that they’re almost like little cakes. I can’t think of a better way to start the morning. (Unless you [...]

Do you ever stumble upon a recipe and think “I so must make this”, and then the recipe gets buried under the piles of other recipes you think “I so must make this recipe, too”? But every now and then you leaf through your “I so must make these recipes” file and you’re reminded of [...]

Any time you take a cake made with a particularly sweet kind of chocolate (which is really all that “German’s chocolate” is, a sweet chocolate made by some American guy with the last name of German… it’s not a “German” thing, like sausage or beer or Volkswagens), and layer an absolute mountain-full of coconutty-pecanny caramelly [...]

Oh, yes- you’re going to love me for this recipe. You’re welcome, you’re welcome, you’re welcome. Have you ever walked through O’Hare airport in Chicago and been swept off your feet by the smell of roasting nuts? And not just any kind of roasting nut, but nuts coated in a swath of sugar and cinnamon? [...]

Don’t be afraid. I know it sounds strange. But have I ever led you astray? (Other than in my series of disasters, like the Unforgiveable BLANDies, which were supposed to be amazing White Chocolate Cashew Blondies if I remembered to add the sugar.) But let’s digress from my little kitchen indiscretions. Let’s focus on your newest [...]

You’re the type of person who either loves the whole sweet & salty combo, or who couldn’t care less. Let me tell you- this post is for my fellow friends who love a good dash of salt to balance the massive quantities of sweet. As I’ve said before- how can you know what’s sweet [...]

I feel a little bit bad about something. I feel like I have been a little too focused on chocolate as of late (like the Tunnel of Fudge Cake, and the Brownie Scrap Pile. Oh, and the Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse, don’t forget that one). I’m so not apologizing- I know it’s fundamentally wrong to [...]
