Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope everyone is getting their green on today! While my days of cheap green beer are far behind me, I definitely still enjoy a pint of Guinness now and then. That includes the occasional Car Bomb, which is, for those who […]

Sometimes the baking I do is for a very specific crowd: a crowd of one. More specifically, my one-year old baby girl. I guess technically, she’s my toddler girl now. Sigh. That went too fast. We’re working on feeding ourselves these days. I mean, I […]

Carbs are the ultimate comfort food. Add a little brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to bread, and the results are pure magic! This week, there were a lot of under-the-weather feelings in my family, and all I wanted was a sweet, warm treat to nibble […]

Bourbon. Bacon. Do I have your attention? I can’t believe that I have been doing this blog for two months already, and this is the first time that I’ve done something with bacon. What was I thinking?? Situation remedied, guys! So sorry for the delay. […]

There comes a time in every baker’s life where you are just sick of sweet. It doesn’t come often, but it happens. After that Valentine’s Day chocolate cake (and the extremely important post-Valentine’s Day half-price candy sale day), I was a bit sugared-out. That meant […]

It’s unavoidable. Valentine’s Day = Chocolate. I set out to find a luxurious, rich chocolate cake that would satisfy all of my sweet teeth. (I have more than one, clearly.) This dark chocolate cake that uses a sweet red wine to kick up the flavor […]

Pavlova may just be my new favorite dessert. It’s crunchy on the outside, soft and marshmallowy on the inside, and is the absolute perfect showcase for seasonal fruit and homemade whipped cream. Or chocolate. Or caramel. Or leftover jam from you last baking project. Literally anything […]

Yup! These homemade jam-filled sandwich cookies taste as British as their name implies. As I write this, I have two on a plate and a cup of tea beside me! Actually, I’m not sure how a cookie would taste distinctly British, but the cookies are […]
