I have a real problem with cakes like this one. I tend to store them on the counter, with a butter knife leaning against the plate, so that it's all too easy to slice off just a tiny piece I swear whenever I walk past. You know, just to even out the edges. At least in this case it's relatively ...
Strawberry Coconut Rice Krispie Treats
I've written before about how I used to go way overboard as a hostess. There was the time I made 12 pounds of nut brittle for our engagement party. Or the time I decided to throw myself a Southern themed 28th birthday, complete with deviled eggs, pralines, a muti-tiered cake and specialty cocktails. ...
Vegan Mocha Swirl Banana Cake
For years, I wrote a column for Serious Eats called the Mixed Review. Each week, I made something from a boxed mix and assessed the results. There were cakes, muffins, donuts, brownies, cookies. The day after testing I would bring all the leftovers into work and deposit them in the office kitchen ...
Strawberry Rhubarb Vanilla Bean Compote
Someday I want to write a cookbook called Back Pocket Desserts. What do you think? Would you buy it? It would be filled with recipes like this one—quick and simple sweets that keep for a while, so that you're always prepared when it's 9:30pm, your kid is finally asleep, and you definitely deserve a ...
Whole Wheat Vegan Graham Crackers
Do you guys remember that episode of Friends where Rachel gets called out for saying that her favorite movie is Dangerous Liaisons when it's really Weekend at Bernie's? That's what I'm like with baking cookbooks. When asked, I say that it's Gina DePalma's Dolce Italiano: Desserts from the Babbo ...
Whole Wheat Blueberry Apple Rhubarb Crisp
I don't mean to eschew responsibility, but I swear sometimes desserts just happen in our house. I wasn't planning to bake anything last Friday, but I had a pint of blueberries in the fridge along with a few leftover stalks of rhubarb, and there were some green apples in the fruit bowl… before I knew ...
Gluten- Dairy- and Oil-Free Chocolate Walnut Cookies
My blog is more than six months old! When I started it back in September, I wasn't sure if I would keep it up, or if it would be something that I posted to once or twice and then let slip away, as the demands of work, motherhood, and life in general took their toll. I have a slight tendency to be ...
Coconut Lime Banana Bread
It was -2°F degrees out this morning when I loaded Owen into the car to go to daycare. Still, he refuses to wear a hat. Every time I put one on him (a sun hat, a baseball cap, even a jacket hood) he rips it off and yells "Noooo!" When I tried to put it back on I said, "Doesn't that feel goooood?" ...
Skinny Vegan Chocolate Cake
My very first recipe testing job was for The Veselka Cookbook. One summer, 125 Ukrainian recipes. You guys, I made so. many. perogies. And also five kinds of borscht. It was crazy and stressful and amazing, and I was so proud of myself (and stuffed) when I was done. To celebrate, naturally I baked a ...
Whole Wheat Apple Brown Betty
Sometimes I sneak away very early on weekend mornings and run on the treadmill in my in-laws' basement. It's nice to get my workout in before Alex and Owen are up…and also there are usually back-to-back episodes of The Pioneer Woman playing on the Food Network. I've never even made one of her ...
