Today is my BIRTHDAY and there was no question in my mind what my birthday cake would be this year. I’ve had my eye on this cake forever, and then my friend Danielle made it twice this summer, and I knew it needed to happen. I’ve written about this at length before, but I love......
When Nicole & Geoff came over for brunch in the summer, they mentioned that they wanted to throw a big engagement party in the Fall, but not just an engagement party, a PIG ROAST! This has been something Nicole’s been wanting to do for years, and they were so cute and excited as they asked......
For our second recipe of Janelle week, we’re having S’mores Rice Krispie Squares. I’m a sucker for anything involving the holy trinity of milk chocolate, graham and toasted marshmallow, and so is Janelle. I made these for two reasons: 1) She was mad at me because I got a new job and will be transferring......
This week was Gastropost’s 100th Mission, and to celebrate, we got to create our own mission! I was thinking back to the first few Missions I did back in the summer of 2012, and of course when my thoughts turn to summer treats, that means only one thing to me: S’MORES! For my S’mores mission......
Last weekend, my new friend from work had a BBQ (yes! I was invited again!) on the rooftop terrace at her condo. It was the second day in a row of a mini-heat wave; one of those sticky, humid days that required a maxi dress and accepting that your hair will get bigger and......
Three ingredients + one bowl + a fully functioning set of tastebuds = Baked Sunday Morning success! I think the fun thing about this week will be seeing what my BSM friends select as their dippers of choice for this rich, sweet fondue, that obviously tastes like peanut butter cups. I, for one, am craving......
Just because it’s fall, it doesn’t mean I have s’mores fully out of my system. Although I’m not quite sure my s’mores fixation ever really goes away in the winter, I think it just transfers over to mug formation (i.e. hot chocolate and marshmallows!). I also realized as I was writing this that I totally......
It’s been just over a year since my friend Barry left my old department, and moved to a new company. In that year, without any other changes to his fitness regime or eating habits, he’s lost 10 lbs. I’ll give that a moment to sink in. This means that without regular access to the treats......
On my very last day of work I actually brought in Joy’s Chocolate Bundt Cake, so this was the penultimate treat. The entire farewell treat tour was essentially like Byn’s greatest hits of chocolate combinations: chocolate + peanut butter, chocolate + butterscotch, chocolate + cookie dough, and finally, chocolate + marshmallow....
Signs of summer: 1. I purchased two tub chairs, a little table and some snap-on tiles for my balcony, which previously resembled a jail cell. 2. I’ve started thinking about S’MORES again....
