Well…It’s been a minute since I shared a recipe with you. (But who’s counting?) Maybe you can tell that I’ve been a little more focused on other kinds of writing. And then just when I got geared up to start posting about food again, we were all confined to our homes and encouraged not to […]
This year, Jake knew exactly what he wanted for his birthday. It was s’moresy. It had ice cream. It was a layer cake. I had never made an ice cream cake before, but it turns out that it isn’t hard! Also, it turns out that Jake is once again a dessert genius, because this birthday […]
Oh my word. I have no words. Words have left the building and they have been replaced by drooling. Cookie butter. Truffle. Brownies. You see, my friends, this is exactly what is so great about the Secret Recipe Club! When I fall into a dessert rut, I love exploring the creativity of other bakers, like Tracy […]
When I first started this blog, I was intending to post only about desserts, all the best and most delicious and exciting desserts I could think of. (I was also sure I would become an overnight sensation despite my deep ineptitude with social media and complete lack of ability to use a camera properly. I basically had […]
If you know me, you may know that I occasionally go on a one-woman crusade against refined sugar. (Whaaaat!? Give up refined sugar? But…what about dessert? For heaven’s sake, your blog isused to be named after brownies, girl! No one can live without sugar. Forget diamonds, chocolate is a girl’s best friend.) This first started […]
You really shouldn’t be surprised by what I’m about to tell you. After all, I have a long, illustrious history as a picky eater. I know it’s mind-boggling that a person could hate fruit and all fruit-flavored things, donuts, fried stuff in general, tea, the flavor of honey and maple syrup, but it’s all true. […]
I’m in the middle of my second one of these cookie-brownie bars as I type this, smearing my keyboard with buttery fingers and dropping tiny shards of Oreo between the keys. I’m actually not sure I’m going to be able to stop eating these. They are that good! If you live within a 5-mile radius […]
Do you remember when pretzel m&ms came out? They were comically marketed as the perfect solution to crazy pregnancy cravings: sweet and salty all in one bite! As if sweet and salty isn’t something I love every day of the year. The flavor combination has become much more mainstream in recent years. And as for […]
I am just going to warn you right now that the baking monster has been on a bit of a crazy rampage lately. And I am going to unabashedly point my finger right at Sarah of Well Dined. It’s totally her fault. Several weeks ago, she confessed that she was afraid of baking cookies from […]
As you may know, it’s National Ice Cream Month. A month I intend to celebrate enthusiastically! (Okay…I may have jumped the gun a little and started celebrating early. And I will probably still be celebrating in August.) Initially I really struggled to figure out what ice cream recipes to share with you this month. What […]
