On Friday, there was a sign next to a plate of overripe bananas that said, “For Banana Bread” on it. I wasn’t sure if it was a suggestion, or a claim, so I added my own post-it saying if someone was looking for offers that I could take care of it, and the original writer found […]
So I haven’t been baking lately, as I’m sure you can tell. But I’ve been pretty busy at work in my day job, and wanted to share some of the fruits of my labor with you! A friend and I have been working on a passion project for a bit over a year now, and […]
Happy Jaladays! As gifts this year, I decided to make jalapeño-shaped cookies for my clients. As fate would have it the stars aligned, and Etsy delivered, so I was able to get an adorable custom cookie cutter in the shape of my logo from The Fussy Pup, as well as custom cookie tins from the […]
While I’ve made my share of gingerbread men, (not really) ugly Christmas sweaters, and other ginger-themed cookies in the past, a friend of mine requested I make some actual gingerbread for a dinner he was hosting. Conveniently, I am on the AllRecipes email list, and this recipe came in just last week! It’s pretty easy to make, […]
A coworker was testing out recipes the week before Thanksgiving, to make sure everything turned out okay for the big day, and we at work got to reap the benefits. So, when a friend asked me to make a pumpkin pie for dessert last week, I was armed with a killer recipe! Now, I don’t […]
The fact that I never posted these back when I was doing my whole cereal bar experiment shouldn’t surprise me, because my brain is on another planet these days, so here’s another (fantastic-tasting) cereal you should give a go with some melted marshmallow and butter. Like I said, I made these last summer back when […]
So this was supposed to post on Presidents Day, but I guess it didn’t! Per usual these days, here in southern California anyway, it is February and the temperature is a crisp 80 degrees. That being said, I didn’t want to turn on my oven last week to make dessert! Fortunately, I have a solid, […]
I was hoping to squeeze in some more holiday recipes before, you know, the holidays… So here’s another one! I’ve always wanted to try these, and today seemed to be the day. I’m having dinner with some friends and I offered to bring a salad, and I got it in my mind to do a […]
A friend sent me this recipe and, as she’s responsible for a number of the killer sweets you’ll find on this site, of course I was going to try it. And how pretty are these cookies? Who can resist? They reminded me immediately of the movie Elf. All I kept thinking when looking at them […]
So it’s my 5 year anniversary of having this blog, which is kind of insane. I also just passed 200 posts. Quite an accomplishment considering I’ve slowed down with my baking. But it’s a big reason to celebrate, so we should dress up in our ugly holiday sweaters! Okay, there’s no way you’d call these […]
