So, I’m going to be honest. This post makes me nervous. Not because of the recipe (pure deliciousness), but because the First on the First challenge this month was to make candy of any type. Anna assured me that these are, indeed candy, since they are enrobed in something (in this case, delicious chocolate), so […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
Skillet cookies. Also known as the reason I bought a cast iron skillet. Also known as the reason I no longer fit a size zero skirt (that could also be because I’m not 17 anymore). Also known as how to win friends and influence people with only one dish and 30 minutes from “hey, we […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble
Today I am shamelessly taking credit for something I did not make. My mom made this delicious dessert, over on the other side of the country from me, and when she told me about it, I naturally encouraged her to take a picture of two and send them my way. Food blogging 101: How to […]
Saturday Sweets: Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes
When it comes to cake and cupcakes, box mixes have spoiled a lot of things for me. They’re just so. darn. good. But I don’t want to use a box mix. I just want it to have that same light, fluffy, almost-dry, stick-to-the-back-of-your-throat crumb texture that stays fresh for days and doesn’t take over from any filling […]
Guest Post: Homemade Sponge Toffee
First of all, thank you so much to Jennifer over at Peanut Butter and Peppers for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger award! I’ve been putting off mentioning it for aaages because it comes with the stipulation of passing it on to 15 other deserving bloggers, but I’ve decided I just can’t narrow it down […]
Saturday Sweets: Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Last night we had two university volleyball teams over for a barbecue, so I thought I should make things look presentable. In case someone should wander the halls, I pulled the bed together and threw on the accent pillows that so often lie unnoticed on the couch in our room. At bedtime, Carl pulled back […]
Homemade Churros
This month brings another first for me – deep-frying! I remember watching my mom deep-fry our annual oliebollen, a Dutch treat that must translate to something like “oily balls”, if my Dutch is any good :) Other than that yearly New Year’s treat, I have no experience with deep frying. I can’t say I was […]
Saturday Sweets: Summer Berry Cake
Iiiiittt’ssssss BERRY SEASON!! While it’s juuuust around the corner here, the berries in the store are already starting to show massive signs of improvement, and I couldn’t be happier. I have big plans to stock up on berries and freeze enough until next season and make jam and all kinds of other delicious things, like […]
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes {cookbook review}
Well, Gemma’s birthday has come and gone, and great fun was had by all! (This post is kinda huge, so settle in :)) This was the first birthday we celebrated in a big way and it’s given me a glimpse into my future of late nights hanging streamers and balloons, last minute trips to the […]
Saturday Sweets: Gluten Free Molten Lava Cakes
What if I told you that I have found a delicious cake recipe, that is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free? Crazy, right? You’re probably thinking what I did. How can anything that is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free taste even close to delicious. C’est impossible. Madness. Wiggety Whack. Well, all you […]
