Decorative Sugar Cookies – Jaladay Style
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 […]
Old Fashioned Gingerbread
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, […]
Swirly Twirly Sugar Cookies
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 […]
Ugly Christmas Sweater Cookies
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 […]
Gingerbread Men
I, like many of you I’m sure, have been getting into the holiday spirit what seems to be a lot earlier than usual. Now that I have a shiny new kitchen, complete with a new gas range, it was time to test it out on some baked goods. I’ve been really excited to make, and […]
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 […]
Matzah Bark 2013
It’s a bit of a cop out to re-do a recipe, but I haven’t made this in 3 years! And it’s fantastic, quick and easy to make, and I did put a 2013 spin on it! I also had mentioned it to my coworkers, and they were eager to try it. It’s so easy to […]
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 […]
Peppermint Swirl Brownies
Happy holidays, everyone! Here’s a seasonal twist on a personal favorite of mine. Some of you might remember the time I made marble brownies. (BTW – you should definitely make those as-is, if you haven’t already.) I was inspired by both that recipe, and my love of all things chocolate and mint at this time of […]
Cheese Latkes
I’m literally eating these for breakfast as I type this. It’s not a breakfast recipe, per se, but they are pancakes, and I wanted to give them a whirl. I’m drooling to think how great they’d taste with brisket. I came across this recipe on Kosherista while I was looking for new Passover recipes to […]
