Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
I don’t know about you, but I’m a little hard-pressed to find a dessert that’s suitable for Easter outside of carrot cake, lemon bars, or orange chiffon cake. And of course all the cutesy little bunny and egg-topped cupcakes and cookies.
There’s nothing wrong with any of those things (in fact, I die over a good slice of carrot cake!), but I don’t know…I like to mix things up a little.
If you’re the same way, this fudge will definitely keep things interesting.…
Funfetti Birthday Cake Batter Blondies are gooey and full of cake batter flavor! How do you deal with the birthday of an acquaintance or co-worker who you’re not that close with, but got you a small gift for your last birthday? It can sometimes be a little awkward…it’s not to say that he/she got you a gift to get a gift in return, but if you completely blow off their birthday altogether, you’re likely to hurt their feelings. And no one wants that. Especially when you can eat sweet treats and be happy together instead....
In college I had a friend who complained of being a huge money-waster. She always claimed that through no fault of her own, she’d end up spending money needlessly in spite of her best efforts not to. And she was right; I saw this happen time and time again, despite the fact that she was more than a little tight-fisted, lol. (And I mean that in the nicest way possible, as a statement of fact rather than judgement. She was a great friend!)...
If you had to choose only one flavor that embodies fall, what would it be? For me, it’s ginger, without a doubt. (I’m pretty sure this is because of these cookies, which I vividly remember my mom frequently making in autumns gone by.) Even when I don’t have homemade Molasses Crinkles on hand, I can usually find a box of store-bought gingersnaps in my cupboard (which are surprisingly delicious!)....
A couple weeks ago I hosted a cozy afternoon tea with an autumnal flair. It was so much fun and there was talk of making it seasonal affair, which I think is a wonderful idea! I’m going to be sharing the recipes I made throughout the next month or so, but for now I’m going to let the photos do the talking....
Anyone a fan of peanut butter cookies? Yup, me too. ;) These little beauties take peanut butter cookies to the next level with white chocolate and apricot preserves. For the full recipe, check out my post on Peanut Butter & Co.’s All-Star Recipe Blog. (There’s also the chance to win a 16 oz jar of White Chocolate Wonderful, the peanut butter used in this recipe!)...
Bubble baths? A good book? Maybe wine or dark chocolate? What’s your favorite way to unwind and indulge? Getting in the kitchen without any prior agenda and just creating something with what I have on hand is my favorite way to decompress and unwind after a hard week or even just a long day. And of course, chocolate is one of my favorite indulgences....
If you’re like me and have a the-darker-the-better mindset when it comes to chocolate, you’re probably wondering why on earth I used white chocolate to make this drink. I’m with you, trust me, I am....
I love making quick bread or muffins on relaxed weekend mornings. There’s something almost magical about a late summer Saturday morning…waking up to the sound of birds chirping and sunlight streaming in your window…and of course knowing that you have the whole day free to do whatever you want! Those kinds of mornings call for a special start to the day....
