Unassuming Chocolate Cookies
These little guys don’t look too threatening. But then you realize that over the course of one episode of Gossip Girl you’ve eaten approx. 57 of them. Then you remember the 1/2 cup of dough that you ate before they were even baked, and on top of that you had to eat at least 5 [...]

Fat & Chewy Favorite Cookies
Warning: these cookies could cause you to gain like, 10 pounds, overnight. Just a head’s up. They’re the size of a baseball pre-cooked, an inch+ think out of the oven, and chock full of walnuts and chocolate chips. Just the way a cookie should be. Last winter, I had the pleasure of visiting Levain Bakery [...]

Mom’s Christmas Cookies
When I was younger, I didn’t want much to do with any kind of cookie that wasn’t chocolate chip. Lucky for my Mom. She got these cookies all to herself until around my senior year of high school, when I decided to try one. And then proceeded to eat the rest. For some reason, dried [...]

Chocolate on Chocolate Cake
We’ve been eating a lot of apple desserts lately, but when Katie’s birthday came around, I kinda figured that if the cake didn’t have chocolate in it, it wasn’t gonna fly. I was right – in some instances, if it’s not chocolate it’s just not worth the calories. Well, let me tell you, this one [...]

It doesn’t get more Autumn than apple pie. The smell, the taste, the fruit, the process. I know I promised you roasted pumpkin seeds (and I’ll deliver!) but these pie pics were screaming to me. I mean, really? Who doesn’t love a good apple pie, cooling on the windowsill? How very grandma’s-house-in-the-country. Whether you’re just [...]

See what I’m working with, people? I wasn’t kidding. Really. Don’t believe me? How about this:
Yes the couches are standing on end. We need to screw the feet back on. This is my life this week! I promise I’ll start cooking and baking again soon. I owe some people some cake! Until then… take a [...]

Death By Chocolate Scones
Wow, guys, let me try to express how busy last week was. I had three out-of-town houseguests, a boyfriend who himself is out of town (Europe, to be exact), one dinner/movie night with the girls, one Red Sox game to attend, and one delicious lasagna dinner made by said houseguests. All of which added up [...]

Chocolate BACON Cupcakes
Yep, you read that right. And yes, that’s Bacon in and on that cupcake. And yes, they’re good! Chris and I were talking last week about a treat to make this past weekend, and although I was thinking more like cookies, or chocolate, Chris was thinking Bacon. So I figured, why not combine them? Sure [...]

Apple Dumplings (RR)
In the book, Reichl mentions her grandmother’s cook, Alice, and her apple dumplings. This is that recipe. There are so many ways to make apple dumplings – whole apples or chopped apples, all-encompassing shell, or simple crust. Either way you end up with something that’s like apple pie, only in single servings. These turned out [...]
