Crispy Chocolate Bark with Ginger, Fennel, and Sea Salt

Crispy Chocolate Bark with Ginger, Fennel, and Sea Salt

December 11, 2014

If you cook half as much as I do, you probably have some favorite chefs and food writers. You recognize their names, and trust that their recipes will turn out right. I'm willing to bet that Ina Garten is on your list, as well as Chris Kimball, Deb Perlman of the Smitten Kitchen, and Melissa Clark ...

No Bake Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crumb Bars

No Bake Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crumb Bars

November 24, 2014

You guys, vegan desserts are HARD. In the past couple of weeks, I've made a polenta cake, sea salt brownies, pecan squares, raspberry pudding, and two previous renditions of these apple crumb bars, all of which I deemed not good enough. Fortunately, Alex's coworkers were more than happy to take the ...

Almond Butter Hot Chocolate

Almond Butter Hot Chocolate

November 6, 2014

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate my new mug? I got it at Marshall's last weekend for $3.99. Alex hates it (at least I didn't buy a whole set, honey!), but I'm completely obsessed. I might never drink coffee out of anything else. Aside from the obvious (gold, owl) this mug is huge. You ...

Apple Crisp-Stuffed Apples

Apple Crisp-Stuffed Apples

October 29, 2014

Do you ever order apple crisp in restaurants? I always think homemade apple crisp tastes better, but one thing I do love about restaurant versions is the presentation. It usually comes to the table perfectly portioned in its own ramekin, with a crown of crunchy, crumbly topping and a dribble of ...

Blondies with Pistachios and Dark Chocolate

Blondies with Pistachios and Dark Chocolate

October 23, 2014

Alex's birthday is three days before Owen's. Two years ago, when I was 100 months pregnant and probably already a little bit in labor, I baked him an outrageous cake covered in chocolate ganache and decorated with chocolate- and toffee-covered pistachios. It was a cake to end all cakes. Literally--I ...

Maple Applesauce Cake

Maple Applesauce Cake

September 23, 2014

When I was in the fifth grade, we moved across town to a new house with several huge apple trees in the backyard. My parents simply let them grow wild, never spraying them or cutting them back, and every fall to this day they shower the yard with hundreds of lumpy, spotted, and sometimes wormy ...

Sweet Potato Fudge Squares

Sweet Potato Fudge Squares

September 22, 2014

When I first started my 90% vegan lifestyle, I met a woman who had been a vegan for 12 years. I asked her what she did at restaurants that didn't have any vegan options. "Oh," she said. "Then I just order a baked potato and enjoy the conversation." People, I was aghast. That sounded (and still ...

Chocolate Tofu Pudding

Chocolate Tofu Pudding

September 13, 2014

Owen loves chocolate pudding. Sometimes I make it for him from scratch, sometimes we buy it from this fancy Italian market near his daycare, and sometimes it's pudding cups from Stop & Shop. Obviously, the homemade pudding trumps the others, but it's hard to find the time. Also, our favorite ...
