Before you go all, “WOA! A blog post! It’s been long enough!” realize that I call this a “recipe” with much hesitation. As long as you’ve got the three key ingredients, some time, and patience, you’re well on your way to making this fun summer treat. (Notice that I didn’t say “recipe.”) Let me backtrack…

Note to self: Be careful of your hashtags and double entendres. Because regardless of what you intend, all it takes is a simple misinterpretation to get a completely different read on a situation, comment, or post. Let me back up to when I got a refresher course in being straightforward. Last summer, I had it…
Sweetened Condensed Milk Brownies
Confession: Box brownies are where it’s at. Why mess with perfection? Especially when someone has already done all of the hard work FOR YOU? Brownies are finicky enough with their bake time, so I take the low road and rely on the old standby: the box brownie. If you wanted to know, this recipe is…

Heyyyyy 2017. I’m sorry I’m a few days late, but hey, I got a snow day. Snow days=my favorites. Spoiler alert: They’re not my favorite because I love to play in the snow or sleep until 1 PM or watch movies all day long. They’re my favorite because I can get a lot done. I’m…
Brown Butter Banana Bread + Dulce de Leche
Subtitle one: How to BURN butter rather than brown it. Subtitle two: When you think you know how to do something so you have all the confidence in the world, but then you FAIL. Before making this banana bread, I’d made brown butter before. Not enough to call myself an expert, but I could do…
Chai Snickerdoodles with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
I grew up in New York state where snow days required massive dumpings of lake effect snow. I’m talking about measuring snow in feet, not inches. Now I live in Memphis where the threat of any wintry precipitation is enough to usher in a snow day, which is sometimes even announced the night before! It’s…
Rolo + Reese’s Cookies
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…
Triple Chocolate Peppermint Ooey Gooey Bars & Cookies!
Double trouble sounds cliche. Here, The possibilities are endless. Or at least twofold. Option 1: Triple Chocolate Peppermint Ooey Gooey Bars Option 2: Triple Chocolate Peppermint Cookies …or you can double this recipe and make both! This recipe was born out of a desire to make one batch of cookie dough that could yield two…
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”?…
Maple Peach Granola
Back in the day, my friend Sarah and I were always on the alert for fresh, homemade granola in our school cafeteria, which was affectionately referred to as Chuck’s. As she put it, we, along with the other 2% of the college population, went to breakfast, seeking a peaceful start to our day before the…
