Mushroom Ravioli in Brown Butter Sage Sauce

Feb 14, 2013 | By Melissa

I think homemade ravioli might be my favorite food. That’s a pretty hefty statement, you know, because I love food, and I love so many different foods. But homemade ravioli is indulgent without being overwhelming. It requires a bit of dedication and love to make it, and I appreciate the craftsmanship. I love the thin-rolled […]

Buttermilk Pie Bars

Jan 14, 2013 | By Melissa

Let me tell you about my darling baby boy. He is the sweetest, most contented baby any mommy could ever wish for. That is, until I step into the kitchen. I swear that child has a sixth sense for when I’m getting ready to make dinner or whip up a batch of cookies. As soon […]

Hazelnut Kisses

Dec 23, 2012 | By Melissa

Okay, I don’t know about you, but December is a really busy time of year for me. And it’s not just Christmas–my husband’s birthday is also in the middle of December! Plus, with baby Jake hanging around, demanding us to cuddle with him and coo with him, it just seems like the whole month passed […]

Butternut Squash Galette

Dec 10, 2012 | By Melissa

As Fall officially winds down, it’s time to use up the last of our beautiful orange squashes. And boy, is this galette a delicious doozy! Seriously, I wish butternut squash were in season all year long so I could make this more often…although the anticipation is pretty sweet, too. Just close your eyes and imagine […]

German Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Nov 18, 2012 | By Melissa

Growing up, I never much liked Thanksgiving. (Gasp!) I just couldn’t muster up much enthusiasm for stuffing or gravy or cranberry goop. But luckily, our family Thanksgiving dinners prized the pie as much as the bird itself. I mean, in my family, there are usually as many pies as there are people at the dinner […]

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Muffins

Oct 31, 2012 | By Melissa

Hey. Do you remember about two years ago when we had that huge pumpkin shortage? Since then, I have lived in fear of not being able to get my pumpkin fix each fall. But guess what? I discovered a way to cheat and get my fill of my favorite orange foods, even if pumpkin is […]

Fleur de Sel Caramel Chocolate Cookies

Aug 23, 2012 | By Melissa

Oh my gosh. These cookies are divine. You must make them. Right away. Soft but slightly crumbly dark chocolate cookie covered in sweet, sticky, stretchy caramel…*drool* So I’ve got to warn you before you make these. It’s impossible to eat just one. That’s partly because if you stack them together, it will be very difficult […]

Marbled Mocha Coffee Cake

Aug 11, 2012 | By Melissa

What can I even say about this amazing cake? Chocolate, coffee, and vanilla batters, all mixed together to form one single cake? Get outta here! I hesitate to call it a breakfast food, because it’s really full of butter and sugar and other unhealthy but delicious ingredients; it might really be better as an after-dinner […]

Ginger Scones

Aug 06, 2012 | By Melissa

Okay, so with all the Olympics going on, I have been in a very British mood. And what could be more British than scones? The last time I popped into a coffee shop in London, about half of their baked goods contained candied ginger, so that seemed like the perfect complement to my scone craving. […]

The Baked Brownie

Jun 08, 2012 | By Melissa

It’s hard to imagine that I have a blog called “Smells Like Brownies” and had never tried the infamous Baked brownie until a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, these things are amazing. I’m still not convinced that they are the best brownie in the world—I mean, what a crazy label to live up […]
