I’m currently blogging from my parents’ house. My mom had the first of two foot surgeries in a one month period. I hope my cooking helps her feel at least a little bit better! If not, I better start baking:-) In general, this week wasn’t my busiest but I don’t think I should / can…
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Quinoa Banana Bread
Posted on October 7, 2013
This hearty but moist banana bread is healthy enough for breakfast while still being sweet enough to feel like a treat. I have so much good stuff for you. There was basically a three-day baking marathon to get ahead on blog posts. The problem is, whenever I build up some recipe inventory, I have the…

I’m writing this post a little early this weekend, because as we speak I’m on my way up to Boston to visit my sister. For those of you that don’t remember, she lived with me last spring, so I’m definitely dealing with Jessica withdrawal. I tried to kidnap her when we were home for Yom…
Caramelized White Chocolate Truffle Pumpkin Cupcakes

As if moist pumpkin cupcakes weren’t enough, I filled them with a luscious caramelized white chocolate ganache and topped them with caramelized white chocolate buttercream.

I don’t know who I am anymore. I’ve got eight weeks of recipes ready to go. Considering in the last year and a half I’ve been happy if I have one recipe ready to go, this is just crazy talk. Hopefully that means that by the time I stop seeing the light of day I…

With a buttery crust, thick apple pie filling and crispy crumb topping these Apple Pie Crumble Bars are a fall dessert that is hard to resist. I don’t know if you remember my Apple Cinnamon Blondies from last year, but they were one of my favorite fall treats. They were a part of Rachel’s An…

Happy weekend, everybody! This is pretty much our most low key weekend for a while (and it has been a while, too), so I’m happy! We have an OTF class this morning and then are going apple picking this afternoon. Then tonight, no plans at all! I actually made a big veggie lasagna yesterday so…
Burgers, Bourbon and Beer– A Surprise 30th Birthday Party
Posted on September 17, 2013
How to throw a surprise 30th birthday party with a burgers, bourbon and beer theme. It’s been over a week and I still can’t believe that Matt’s surprise party has come and gone. I had an idea in my head at least a year ago and really started planning months ago. Given the way summers…

Posted on September 15, 2013
I’m not sure if it is the first feeling of fall in the air, the high holidays and birthday celebrations spent with family, my current sugar high, or maybe just the weekend before my first real week to focus on work in a long time, but I am feeling very refreshed, energized and ready to…
