Do you know what I just realized? I have been so obsessed over the years with blogging special, fancy brownie recipes that I have never actually shared my favorite classic brownie recipe with you! The Baker’s people really knew what they were doing when they developed this one-bowl brownie recipe (and let’s all just agree […]
I have to admit that the last two months have been the busiest, most stressful two months I can remember. I really am going to tell you all about that sooner or later…but for now I want to focus on the fact that the Christmas season is a horrendously busy, often unpleasantly stressful time of […]
Get ready. These brownies are all kinds of amazing. The actual brownie part is fudgy and malt chocolate flavored and full of chewy pockets of baked-in malt balls. Topped off with a rich ganache and more malt balls? Are you running for the kitchen yet? Are you checking your cupboards for that enormous, movie-size box […]
Believe it or not, I have never liked lemon bars. But not for the reason you think (remember…the whole not-liking-fruit bit?)! I’ve always thought they just weren’t lemony enough. I think I just want them to taste a little more tart, to pack a little more punch. But really, who wants to be punched in […]
When I was little, white for Easter was always a big deal. (At least where shoes were concerned.) And even though I no longer go out and buy new, flowery dresses and patent leather Mary Janes for church on Easter morning, the color white is still a symbol of the season for me. Blondies (the […]

When I was in college, my best friend used to come visit me once a semester. Several times when she made the trip, she also lugged her baking equipment with her. We would wedge ourselves into the tiny, communal kitchen and whip up a batch of mint brownies. Later, we would sit ourselves down with […]
This month for the Secret Recipe Club, I was assigned the blog Jenny’s Cookbook. Boy did I have a hard time deciding what to make. Given the chilly weather, I was leaning toward one of her many delicious-looking (vegetarian!) soups, but when my eyes lit on the name Black Bean Brownies, I knew I was […]
When I was a kid, my dad taught me how to slow-roast a perfect marshmallow. We would head outside after polishing off our hamburgers and huddle over our charcoal grill, patiently rotating marshmallows one at a time over the embers. I felt this intense sense of victory every time I managed to get my marshmallow […]
Maybe you noticed that I have been sharing a lot of fruity and peanuty baked goods lately. Maybe you remember that those aren’t really my thing. Most of the baking I have been doing for the last few months has actually been for others to enjoy. I’ve been taking a break from sugar in hopes […]
