Cornbread-stuffed Jalapeños
If this post sounds similar to the last one, it’s because it is! So that clears that up. A friend sent me this list from BuzzFeed on 31 Fearless Ways to Stuff a Jalapeño. This recipe was inspired by #6 on that list, and I have every intention of working my way through at least […]
Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread
I whipped up this batter for another purpose, post to follow next week, but there was more than enough leftover to make a full loaf of cornbread. Not much backstory to it except that I’ve been in a jalapeño kind of mood, so there’s that. (And they were on sale!) A quick internet search led […]
Blueberry Pie
I needed a dessert recently when I headed over to a friend’s place for dinner. His wife was making fish tacos, and his 3-year old son declared that out all the pie flavors possible, blueberry sounded best. I couldn’t argue. I used the same crust recipe I’d used for my quiche, and doubled the recipe to […]
Passover Chocolate Chip Cookies
I got this recipe from The Shiksa, and it’s pretty solid! They taste just like regular ol’ chocolate chippers. And it was nice to see a familiar favorite that was adapted for the holiday. The recipe calls for matzah cake meal which, from what I understand, is just finely ground matzah. I’d recommend going out […]
Almond Butter Thumbprints
I had actually intended to make these for Valentine’s Day, purchased a big ol’ bag of pink and silver-wrapped Kisses, but decided on brownies instead. So, this past weekend, I was trying to find a way to use them now that the bag had dwindled to half its former contents. I have always wanted to […]
Green Velvet Whoopie Pies
A coworker of mine had been hounding me lately to make whoopie pies, so I promised I’d do some for St. Patrick’s Day. (It was either that or macarons, and those are still too recent a memory for me to tackle them again. Shamrocks would look cute, but be a pita for sure. I guess […]
Homemade Samoas!
For those of us in So Cal, it’s Girl Scout Cookie Season! You’re probably being bombarded with salesgirls at work, home, or at your local grocery store. (Which is genius on their part.) I had to resist the temptation to buy them (even from the little stand in the lobby of my office building, even […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I hope you’re all surrounded by love this Valentine’s Day, whether it’s a significant other, friends, family, or pets. I’ll be surrounding myself with chocolate – including these brownies. Can’t complain! I just used my Marble Brownie recipe, and added a bit of food coloring to the cheesecake layer. Food coloring is a really easy […]
Frosted Brownies
As you all know, I have my rock-solid, go-to brownie recipe. But that doesn’t mean I can’t branch out every now and again! I wanted to try something new for a birthday party recently, so I did a search for “brownies,” like you do. This recipe came from AllRecipes.com, which hasn’t let me down yet, […]
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
These muffins were inspired by a post from Susan Eats London. How incredible does that cake sound? However, since I planned to make these for new year’s day, I was still trying to use up all the leftover stuff in my fridge. That meant I wasn’t buying the stuff I didn’t have for her recipe, […]
