  • The Original Strawberry Cake

    The Original Strawberry Cake

    August 30th, 2014

    Wow, wow, wow. I made this cake (after being duly inspired by Martha Stewart’s version) years ago, and People Took Notice (yes, in caps). I shared the recipe with you a while back with raspberries making center stage (remember the Crazy-Good Raspberry Cake?), but knew that strawberries needed their day in the sun (ha!).  I […]

  • Blondie Bit Brownies

    Blondie Chunk Brownies

    August 27th, 2014

    Holy shizit. It happened. The dreams of many have come true (well, maybe it’s mostly my dream but I have to assume there are other sickos out there like me). Imagine a buttery blondie chopped up into chunks, and baked into the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie.  Hello?  Are you okay?  I think you blacked out […]

  • Triple Lemon Pound Cake

    Triple Lemon Pound Cake

    August 20th, 2014

    As soon as I found lemon chips on a recent splurge at the Bulk Barn in Toronto I knew I was done for. Have you ever seen lemon chips?  Me neither.  (When I say lemon chips I mean like chocolate chips, not potato chips.  Lemony potato chips would be gross.  Come on.) So I realized […]

  • The Sour Disaster.

    The Sour Disaster.

    August 20th, 2014

    This is what happens when you bake an insanely yummy Triple Lemon Pound Cake in little teeny muffin cups and you don’t grease the cups well enough. The lemon chips like to linger on the pan.  And leave odd-looking holes in the bottoms of the mini-muffins themselves, where the chips were supposed to be securely baked. […]

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Brownie Pie

    August 16th, 2014

    Oh. My. Dessert God. Thank you for this! I have made many a pie with peanut butter & chocolate in the last few years… there was the Honey Roasted Peanut Butter & Chocolate Tart, the Incredible Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache Pie, the Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart with Oatmeal Crust, and a few others I’m just […]

    Easy Baklava Bites

    August 13th, 2014

    Please tell me that you are aware of the exquisite pleasure known as baklava.  (I bestowed the gift of Classic Baklava on you back in September [the 18th, to be exact, of 2013, to be more exact], so shame on you if you didn’t go straight to the grocery store and stock up on honey and […]

  • Frozen Orange Yogurt Pie

    Frozen Orange Yogurt Pie

    August 6th, 2014

    I had no idea this dessert was going to taste this good. I wanted something summery, something cold, something light.  I liked the idea of orange and vanilla (flashback to Orange Julius at the mall as a kid), and thought it would be a perfectly above average dessert.  But no!  This is a perfectly excellent […]

  • Nutty Cream Cheese Spirals

    Nutty Cream Cheese Spirals

    August 2nd, 2014

    I have been making these for years and have been holding back on you. This post is my mea culpa.  I’ve been busy (with 345 recipes posted prior to this one) and really have no excuse as to why I’ve slacked off on the spiral-sharing.  (Maybe it’s the same reason I haven’t shared my peanut […]
