Move over, milk. Coffee is hot on your trail. And look out, chocolate chip stand-bys. There’s a new girl in town. It’s been a little while since my last post. Excuses include a new semester at school, lack of inspiration, feeling inferior to pro food bloggers, a few kitchen fails, extra time , etc. But my hubby‘s recent…

Caramel Apple Snack Cake
It’s time for a big question. Cake: Is it a snack or dessert? Does it depend on the time of day or the size of the slice? Does it have to be individually wrapped or can it be fresh from the oven? Does it have to have less sugar or some kind of “nutritional value”?…
Snickers Cake
Can’t stop. Won’t stop. (That’s the tagline for this cake.) My Mom has a great chocolate cake recipe. It’s kind of infamous in our household and just known as The Chocolate Cake. But because I can never leave anything alone, I took her cake and transformed it into some insane Snickers-level beast. So we have…

I love birthdays. It doesn’t matter whose they are. They’re my favorite. When I was in college, planning and throwing birthday parties was a hobby of mine. And my 21st birthday stands out as my best birthday ever. (It was alcohol-free, for the record. Didn’t want to leave you hangin’.) Also, this Thursday is my…
Cake Batter Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
Please tell me I’m not the only one: I got so revved up to test a new recipe…only to discover the lack of said key ingredient. #fail. I was a little deflated, but… some googling led me to a few substitute ideas. And missing one egg was not going to mess up my determination…
