This is rich. And dense. And chocolately. And hazelnutty. Think of it as Nutella for adults, in the form of a cake. (By the way- do you say it like nut-ella or noo-tella? I say nut-ella because I pronounce the word nut like nut. I’d never say “this cake has hazelnoots“. Please join me in the campaign to say […]

This is for lazy people who love pumpkin pie, who also love to cut calories and fat while eating copious quantities of holiday-themed dessert. Sign me up. Yes, it’s great that it’s a gluten free option. And yes, it’s great that without a crust it’s way, way, way healthier (or at least way, way, way […]

Have mercy. You might already know that I have a thing for caramel. And I also have a full-blown salt addiction (which I’ve asked my doctor about and we’re okay with the problem for now). So the current sea salt caramel craze has my name written all over it. And while I’m not a fan […]

When you’re making caramel, the last thing you want to see on the face of your digital thermometer is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Yeah, well, that’s what happened to me mid-way through the caramel-making session of a lifetime. (“Caramel-making session of a lifetime” defined here as the epic event of making Sea Salt & Bourbon Caramels. Seriously- […]

A while back I made Chewy Pecan Bars that rocked my world. The smell, the texture, and the taste- oh yes, the taste. I was left almost speechless (which is a hard thing to accomplish). But I knew there was a weensie opportunity to take the bars to the next level. And I had a bag […]

Look closely at the picture above. Peanut butter chips don’t smell very good when they’re burning and filling your kitchen up with smoke. I’m just saying. Still trying to learn exactly how evil and powerful the new microwave is. Fighting the good fight. Interested in why I was microwaving PB chips? Yes, you should be. […]

But really- who doesn’t love a Napoleon? (You know, the dessert made with layers of puff pastry and other things that aren’t good for your arteries but so very good for your soul?) This is a bit of a slacker Napoleon recipe, so raise a glass to that point first and foremost (meaning, you don’t […]

Autumn in a cup, that’s what this is. Thanksgiving in a blender (without the turkey and stuffing, because that would be gross.) Pumpkin pie through a straw. (Also sounds gross. Sorry.) Want a guilt-free way to feel like you’re indulging in Pumpkin Pie? Here you have it. It’s fast, easy, mostly healthy (seriously- do you […]

I used to think that white chocolate was destined to be stirred into a cookie batter with its exotic (and expensive) friend, the macadamia nut. I used to think it couldn’t get any better than that for white chocolate, because after all, the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut & Lime Cookie IS monumental. (Oh, so is the […]

It’s pumpkin time of year. Even if you have absolutely nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, you can at least be thankful for pumpkin desserts. Don’t confuse this tart with the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, which happens to be noteworthy in its own right. And although somewhat similar, this isn’t exactly like the Pumpkin […]

When I tell you that ‘Gâteau Breton’ is just French for ‘freaking awesome cake’, believe me. (Well. Gateau does mean cake en francais, but that’s the end of the translation class.) All you need to know is that this cake has a remarkable number of reasons to bake it into your life: Caramel. This cake can […]
