Cupcake Nuggets
You heard me. You may recall that last week I posted about some tasty vanilla cupcakes, but I actually found that recipe after drooling over reading this nugget one, also from Cupcake Project. I’m slightly terrified of boiling oil, but a friend assured me she was up for the task of frying, if I could […]
Popcorn Cake
So, I’m not sure if any of you were watching TV yesterday, but the New York Giants won the Super Bowl! For those of you who don’t know me all that well, I am a huge Giants fan, so for my friends and I, this was more than a get-together to watch commercials. Some might […]
Chocolate Cream Tartlets
These little no-bake tartlets are really easy to put together, and require minimal prep work. What’s more simple than buying pre-baked tartlet shells and adding some pudding powder mixed with milk into whipped cream? Amiright? This idea for a dessert was inspired partially by my anticipated lack of time to make it (it was supposed […]
Watermelon Granita
Do you know what one of the greatest things is about summer? If you answered watermelon, you are correct! (If you said the beach, ice cream, mojitos, or the smell of sunblock, you would also be correct in other circumstances.) I love watermelon, and I find it ridiculous to pay twice as much for a […]
Happy Easter, Peeps!
My friend Ashleigh, you may remember her from French Macaron Day, asked me if I wanted to make Peeps this week. Duh, WINNING. How much fun would it be to make our own Peeps the day before Easter? (Lots!) And it was also a great excuse to test out my new candy thermometer! So it […]
Too Much Chopped?
I’ll admit, I’ve been watching too many episodes of Chopped lately, if there is such a thing. (There probably is if you’re trying not to spend every waking moment thinking about or eating food.) It’s just so darn inspiring! If you’re unfamiliar with the show, it’s on the Food Network and it’s kind of a […]
St. Patty’s Day – Bailey’s Cake Balls
Hello Everyone! In honor of St. Patty’s Day, I made some cake balls for a little hangout I’m having tonight. I’m not wearing green today, but hopefully no one will mind once they taste these. I was inspired, like many people on the internet before me, to do a chocolate cake with some Bailey’s Irish […]
Cinnamon Roll Sunday
The NY Giants’ regular season opener was on a Sunday morning, out here in LA at least, and it was the perfect excuse for me to try making cinnamon rolls. As you may remember I was originally intimidated by this recipe, and also didn’t want to take the necessary time needed out of my day […]
Banana “Ice Cream”
So guess what I had for breakfast this morning… Banana “Ice Cream.” Yeah. That’s right. It’s a recipe that was a few days in the making because I’d frozen the bananas a few days ago, and have been threatening to make this ever since. I got home from playing tennis too late last night to […]
