It wouldn’t be summer if I wasn’t wiping noses and playing Bop It alone in a dark room. (click on the link for a description of Bop It a.k.a the greatest game in the universe). Wait, what?! You all probably expected me to say something more glamorous like “putting on tanning oil and playing volleyball […]
The school year has finally come to a close, and I’ve accumulated a lot on the way. Confession: I lug around a lot. You can tell by the weight of my backpack as I struggle up the metro escalator (I believe that life’s to short to stand on an escalator). So I like to hang […]
Did I catch your attention? Good.This is a sinfully decadent, sinfully easy dessert with a sinfully rewarding response. It’s not the daintiest, nor the prettiest. As a matter of fact, it’s basically a hot mess in a pan. But you know what? Despite it’s frightening appearance, people just can’t keep their hands off of it.I […]
Somehow it has become socially acceptable to dislike Valentine’s Day. Some people say that it’s a meaningless marketing scam run by card and chocolate companies. Others try to be witty, saying that we should profess our love every day of the year. You all need to relax. I hate Halloween — but you don’t hear […]
Today I went shopping with my friend Tessa. Exams are starting on Monday, and after hitting the chemistry book for hours on end, we both deserved a little bit of retail therapy.

It’s time to whip out comfort food recipes!Nothing hugs the soul on a chilly day like buttery, cheesy goodness. I can’t […]
We have already established that cream cheese brownies are an absolute must-have in the repertoire of any baker (especially when that baker is often called upon to supply high school bake sales and fundraisers). But what would happen when you throw a box of Oreos into the batter? Amazing things, I tell you. Imagine a […]
After reading Deb’s post in the back of Martha Stewart’s Living, I had to make these brownies! Although nothing beats plain, super-rich chocolate brownies, cream cheese brownies are a classic. I love how the tangy cream cheese balances out the deep, fudgy rich chocolate. I always like to have a stash of brownies in the […]
I can’t get enough of fall baking, and nothing screams fall baking quite like canned pumpkin! I have been dumping it into bars, smoothies, cakes, loaves and everything else I can get my hands on — because I know that before long, I will have to move on to gingerbread, peppermint and Christmas cookies. I […]
