Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookie Cake

Posted on June 30, 2014

This is the best cookie cake that I’ve ever had.  It has a a chewy center, crispy edges and a wonderful brown butter flavor. I’m turning 30 this year.  And actually, August 21st isn’t that far away.  How I feel about the age is a story for another post, but what I want for dessert…

Posted on June 29, 2014

It feels like I’ve been gone for such a long time, but we’ve really only been on vacation for about a week.  That is truly the best type of vacation!  I’m proud of myself for staying offline for the most part, minus necessary Instagramming;-)  I feel completely re-energized and ready to get back at full…

No Churn Oreo Fudge Swirl Ice Cream

Posted on June 26, 2014

This easy no-churn Vanilla bean ice cream is full of Oreo chunks and a delicious ribbon of fudge. Other than the part where my tripod fell over and knocked my camera directly into the ice cream, I loved this.  After a slight moment of panic, I gently wiped the mess off of my lens and…

The perfect summer brunch food.  These brown butter muffins are full of juicy peaches and topped with a cinnamon crumble. Summers for us are always full of travelling to see family.  I try to bring a different sweet treat every time, though my family has had its fair share of bakery "scraps"!  These muffins were…

Well, that’s it!  Wednesday was the final day of sales.  I can’t decide if I should celebrate or mourn, it’s definitely a strange feeling.  I’ve already talked about my feelings on this, but I really do feel incredibly lucky to have had this experience and have zero regrets.  In lieu of the changes, I’ve made…

{Gluten-Free} Summer Berry Skillet Crisp

Posted on June 16, 2014

A summer berry crisp topped with buttery oat crumble.  It just so happens to be gluten-free! I know I’ve talked about this before, but I have a serious issue when I see summer fruit at Costco.  I can NOT buy enough.  A few weeks ago, I needed food for five days, just five.  Now, given…

This week was busy and exhausting but fun.  I find that when I have a few super productive days in a row, I ultimately need one to crash.  Between the apartment clean out and a couple of long days in the kitchen, by Wednesday afternoon I was done.  Luckily I got enough downtime that I…

This is the best fruit salad for any summer occasion! First of all, I have to give a shout-out for a HAPPY 4 Years to my wonderful husband.  I have a feeling that our fifth year is going to be the most exciting yet!  Do you ever eat something at a restaurant that seems so simple yet so…

These decadent cookie sandwiches are for a sophisticated palate.  The dark chocolate espresso cookie is sandwiched with a rich salted caramel ganache for the ultimate dessert.

The weeks are flying by now but I feel like I’m packing a lot into each one which is good.  I just know the summer will be gone in an instant so I want to make sure I’m as productive as possible in these next couple of months!  This week we had a big 20-week…

Speculoos Sundae with Warm Blueberry Sauce

Posted on June 5, 2014

Homemade speculoos (or Cookie Butter) ice cream layered with crushed speculoos cookies and a warm homemade blueberry sauce.

The thing is, despite the fact that it has so much flavor you can most definitely enjoy it thoroughly on its own,…

I had so much fun this week celebrating my sister’s graduation!  On Wednesday, my parents picked me up for our road trip to Boston and we enjoyed a couple of days eating our way through town.  Actually, I didn’t get to do as much fun Boston eating as I would have liked, but we did…
