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......
Last week one of my new friends from work threw a rager to kick off the long weekend right! Ha, not really a rager but it was a super fun night. Obviously I had to bring treats to dazzle everyone, and also to make sure I would be invited to any and all future parties.......
Although I’m obsessed with the S’mores flavour profile (marshmallows + chocolate + graham), the same can’t be said about the whole Rocky Road thing (marshmallows + chocolate + nuts). No logical explanation for that really; I’ve just never really been drawn to Rocky Road recipes. Until this one! I’ve had these squares bookmarked (and now......
As I mentioned the other day, the most anticipated item from my Trader Joe’s haul was Cookie Butter. Everything I heard and read about it had me super excited and curious about the magic that would be unleashed when I cracked open a jar. First, let me try my best to describe Cookie Butter: it......
It’s been a hot minute since my last Baked Sunday Morning! Mostly just because of other baking projects I’ve had going on this summer, plus the fact that these recipes tend to be so involved, and sometimes you just don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen during a nice sunny......
My go-to topic of of conversation for awkward co-worker/job interview/elevator situations is the weather. I have about 3984692 different ways to comment on it or complaint about it, and it saves me everytime. I love it. I can also branch off into fashion/accessory topics and anecdotes (rainboots, forgetting an umbrella, losing mittens or sunglasses) and health/lifestyle issues (humidity headaches,......
For the past three years, Spring for me has been defined by the appearance of rhubarb in the farmer’s market near my house. It throws me into a frenzy, because it’s only in season for a short amount of time, and there are always so many recipes I want to make with this weird little vegetable. So when......
If Slutty Brownies are labelled as such because they’re easy, filthy and a lil’ bit dirty (and made from mixes), what shall we call a homemade version? They require a little more time (hard-to-get?), are made from scratch (wholesome?), and take themselves a little bit more seriously (uptight?)....
Even though I love peanut butter, this is something I wasn’t super interested in trying from Baked Explorations. I think it has something to do with the fact that it’s one of the recipes in the book without a picture. I love to have a visual of something before I make it, which is why......
Here’s the second treat I made for the Friendsgiving Feast, because you know I can’t just stop at one. Of course, we were all full by the time we got through our pie, so I ended up wrapping these up for everyone to take home....
