Pie Crust
Happy 2013, everyone! May your resolve be strong, and all your dreams be realized this year To me, making pie crust from scratch has always been a daunting task. Sure, I’ve done it, but it’s so much easier to buy it from the store. But for those times when I wanna wrassle with a rolling […]
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 […]
Simple Syrup
Here’s a little tangent before I get onto todays simple but handy recipe. (Simple is even in the NAME!): Melanie over at Mel Runs is hosting a “Stronger than Chocolate” challenge. The idea is to substitute fruit for chocolate for 7 days (or as long as you can last/handle/stomach/tolerate, you get the idea). For some […]
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 […]
Chocolate Puddin’ Pie
I’m really all about not baking lately. You read that correctly. I’m looking for any excuse not to turn on the oven because even the thought of it makes me hot. When I do turn on my oven, to roast veggies or make shrinky dinks, I make sure it’s late at night, at an hour […]
Easy as [Cool Whip] Pie!
Are you going to a barbecue or potluck this summer? Do you live someplace like Los Angeles where it’s too hot to even think about turning on your oven? Well Cool Whip Pie is definitely a recipe to keep on hand – you’ll memorize it after making it once – because it’s summery, light, and […]
Hey, Blondie!
My friend came over and we decided to make blondies. We were really making them to prove a point, that 2 people have no business working in my kitchen at the same time, but also to cap off the evening with some yummy treats. I got this recipe from one of my many “100 best […]
Pumpkin Muffins
These muffins were super easy to whip together one morning for breakfast during the Giants game. I brought all the ingredients, pre mixed, over to my friend’s place, and within half an hour we had some yummy, fresh-baked muffins. I saw this recipe on Muffintop and thought it sounded fabulous. I tweaked it slightly, as I […]
Cake Mix Sugar Cookies
I was so tempted to post my Pumpkin Muffin recipe, but I realized that I have been inundating you guys with pumpkin stuff and should probably take a break so as not to lose the interest of those who aren’t “into pumpkin.” (For the rest of you that are, there’s more to come! squeal!) These […]
Snickerdoodles
It was time for Baking GALS again this month, and I decided to try something new – Snickerdoodles. I have always enjoyed eating these cookies, the same way I enjoy just about anything that involves cinnamon. I had a few recipes logged away, but this one seemed the most straight-forward, and I tried my best […]
