I’ve spent more time then I care to admit on TikTok this year, and as someone who’s been around since the dawn of food blogs, it’s kind of interesting to me how TikTokers demo and share recipes. There’s no space or time to give lengthy explanations of ingredients or explain a method, which is fine......
I’m back with another recipe from Dessert Person! It was my Dad’s birthday last week, and his #1 fave is Carrot Cake, so I decided to test out Claire’s version. Her recipe is pretty straightforward and keeps the focus on the carrots and traditional spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Her only extra addition to......
I was pretty disappointed with my first Chocolate Chip Cookie of quarantine, and was eager to test another one. I have so many bookmarked: Alton Brown’s The Chewy, Milk Bar’s Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies, even a Joy the Baker classic.

The anticipation of rhubarb season just didn’t bring the usual amount of joy to my life as it has for every other year for the past 10 years or so. I usually spend all Spring waiting for it to pop up, and getting excited for the things I want to make. This year I kind......

Last December I made a bold declaration on this here blog of mine: I was done with apple pie. I had finally had enough after making Saveur magazine’s Salted Caramel Apple Pie for Christmas, and was ready to put that out into the world. I often have trouble with pie in general, mostly because I......
Hooray! It’s pumpkin time! I feel like I showed excellent restraint in waiting until October to crack open my first can of pumpkin. Last year I was away for a lot of October, so I didn’t really make a dent into my Pumpkin Pinterest board, so I’m making up for lost time now. The first......
This is hands-down the best recipe I’ve made so far from Baked Elements. It’s a simple pound cake with three* twists to keep things interesting: Cream cheese in the batter, which keeps things nice and hydrated, with a little bit of tang Aggressive poppy seed filling that uses 1/2 cup of poppy seeds Brown butter......
Because I don’t have enough cookies to bake in December, this year I decided to do The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, thanks to some encouragement from my blogging friends Meg and Heather.
