Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Biscotti

Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Biscotti

October 1, 2015

Don't even tell me you don't like biscotti. You've probably only ever tried the kind they sell by the cash register in chain store coffee shops--stale, dry, and tasting vaguely like a toddler's teething biscuit. But real, homemade biscotti are nothing like that. They're crispy and crumbly and ...

Hazelnut Apple Pear Crisp

Hazelnut Apple Pear Crisp

September 23, 2015

Let's just say I've been around the block with apple crisp. I make it multiple times each fall and winter, and I even keep bags of prepared topping in the freezer to have at the ready. I thought I knew everything there was to know about it. But a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a baking class ...

Orange and Brown Butter Sugar Cookies

Orange and Brown Butter Sugar Cookies

September 18, 2015

For a long time, I thought sugar cookies were sort of pointless. Where were the chocolate chunks? The toasted pecans? The sprinkles? I'd even take some dried fruit, if all else failed. But a plain sugar cookie with nothing in it? That just seemed...boring.    But sometimes the simplest ...

Pumpkin Spice Angel Food Cake with Coffee Glaze

Pumpkin Spice Angel Food Cake with Coffee Glaze

September 8, 2015

My baby is one year old today! No, I don't mean this guy (who will be three next month). I mean this right here—my blog. Looking back I can't believe how much it has grown and changed. Honestly, when I hit publish on my first post I didn't know if I would keep at it. I mean, haven't we all started ...

Bourbon Butterscotch Pudding

Bourbon Butterscotch Pudding

September 2, 2015

When I was in college, one of my English professors once gave our class a very stern lecture about plagiarizing ourselves. That is, taking an old paper we had written for another course and resubmitting it as new. For weeks, I was terrified that I was going to unwittingly write the same paragraph ...

Basil Ice Cream with Mint and Chocolate

Basil Ice Cream with Mint and Chocolate

August 20, 2015

When I first bought my ice cream machine, in 2008, things got a little bit crazy. It was just so easy to convince myself that I was making something healthy. It's only milk and eggs! I thought. All natural! Before I knew it, Alex and I had devoured quarts of bourbon vanilla, maple walnut, and ...

Whole Wheat Blondies with Carrots and Blueberries

Whole Wheat Blondies with Carrots and Blueberries

July 29, 2015

By late this past Sunday afternoon, I was at a complete loss for what to do with Owen. We had already been to the park, the playground, and the pool that weekend, and earlier in the day we'd gone out for a pizza lunch and built a house out of a cardboard box for his Paw Patrol characters. I couldn't ...

Gluten-Free Banana Sprinkles Skillet Cookie

Gluten-Free Banana Sprinkles Skillet Cookie

July 23, 2015

Toddlers = overripe bananas, amiright? With an almost three-year-old in the house, bananas are a staple in our kitchen. Owen loves them, but he can never finish an entire bunch before they threaten to go bad. What to do? Bake, obviously. Since this is my first post on my new blog (check ...

Vegan Carrot Orange Sherbet

Vegan Carrot Orange Sherbet

July 14, 2015

Let's get something out of the way right off the bat here. I called it "sherbert" for years. Did you? No shame. Evidently, it's one of the most common mispronunciations out there. While we're at it, let's clear up the difference between sorbet and sherbet, too. Sorbet is fruit and sugar. Sherbet ...

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Millet

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Millet

July 1, 2015

I do this weird thing whenever we get a babysitter. I bake cookies. I think I'm just so grateful to have the night off, and I want to make sure she is willing to come back. So I bake cookies and leave them on a plate on the counter, and I also fan all my magazines (US Weekly, ELLE, Food & Wine) ...
