  • Cinnamon Sticky Buns

    Cinnamon Sticky Buns

    February 26th, 2014

    I just made one of my dreams come true.  (Well, technically a dozen dreams, since this recipe makes 12 puffy and sticky and wondiferous cinnamon buns.) Because I know you’re keenly interested, let’s have a discussion about The History of Cinnamon Buns in My Life, shall we?  I don’t remember where it started, so I’ll […]

    Magic Brownie Bars

    February 22nd, 2014

    Oh my. Everyone loves the Magic Gooey Cookie Bars.  This is a fact.  (If you don’t know what I am talking about then click here immediately, make these bars, and then try to tell me you’re the only earthling who doesn’t love Magic Gooey Cookie Bars.)  But what if the amazingly excellent graham cracker crust […]

  • The Cream Cheese Eruption

    The Cream Cheese Eruption.

    February 19th, 2014

    Allow me to point out how multifaceted this disaster really was: The cream cheese filling in these incredible Cream Cheese Stuffed Blueberry Muffins was all over the goddamned place, which means the cream cheese was no longer in the muffins themselves.  Not part of the plan when you want to bite into a cream cheese […]

    Cream Cheese Stuffed Blueberry Muffins

    February 19th, 2014

    There is something about blueberries and lemon zest and cream cheese… it’s kind of like chocolate and caramel and nuts- they just go together, and you don’t fight it.  (But really- check out these Caramel Chocolate Pecan Cubes after you’re done making these muffins.) I have married cream cheese with blueberries before (flash back to the […]

    Banana Dark Chocolate Cookies

    February 15th, 2014

    These might blow your mind. Picture a banana bread studded with dark chocolate chunks- a really freaking amazing banana bread with dark chocolate chunks, mind you- but then warp the image of bread in your mind and turn it into a cookie.  Got it?  Yes, it’s true.  It happened.  Banana bread became a cookie, and […]

  • Healthy Almond Date Balls

    Healthy Toasted Almond Date Balls

    February 12th, 2014

    I am really very excited about this new concoction, and I think you will be too. A) They are totally easy to make (although they do require you to pull out the food processor, so sorry about that). B) They are natural and healthy and energy-packed (which admittedly means caloric, but in a good “have […]

  • Red Velvet Cake

    Red Velvet Cake

    February 8th, 2014

    Finally, I understand what all the fuss is about. I was living under a bit of a rock, I’m afraid. But now I’ve seen the light.  I’ve baked my way into it and there’s no turning back. I’m talking about this glorious Red Velvet Cake, which is rich, moist, and almost crushed under the weight […]

  • Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes

    Strawberry Mini Cheesecakes

    February 5th, 2014

    This dessert is kind of like a Valentine’s month must. Everyone likes cheesecake, and the people that say they don’t really like cheesecake don’t really know what they are talking about.  They just haven’t tried this cheesecake, maybe.  Because who could resist a little mini cheesecake?  And the jam- it’s red for God’s sake- who […]

    Double Chocolate Buttermilk Cookies

    February 2nd, 2014

    I have been working through a giant jug of buttermilk, so have been experimenting with how to use it in just about any kind of dessert.  (Wait and see, loyal reader- it’ll show up in like 90% of the recipes I post for the next month or so.  Go get your own jug to be […]
