I recently made white chocolate macadamia nut cookies (recipe soon!), and the recipe called for 2 cups of chocolate chips. I carefully measured 2 cups of white chocolate chips… and was left with a sad little quarter cup left in the bag. My pantry is overflowing with similar crumbled bags with just a smidgen of their […]

twix fudge swirl ice cream
I asked you all on Twitter what I should do with all of my leftover Halloween candy. While I was dreaming up wacky recipes that would most likely end up in the garbage disposal (crunch bar souffle anyone?), SLC Foodie recommended I chop them into brownies or fold them into ice cream. I stopped calculating […]
chocolate chip cookie pie
I got this recipe from one of my lovely readers, The Cooking Actress. She refers to this pie as “the most delicious thing you’ll ever eat,” and after tasting it, I can see why! The theme for baking club this past week was “pies,” in the spirit of Thanksgiving and autumn. I made two apple […]
twix cupcakes
Halloween sparks fear in many of us.When I was younger, I used to be extremely afraid of any costume that involved a mask. I still don’t particularly love those skeleton costumes with the red food coloring “blood” running through them. Ick. The number one fear in my family on Halloween has always been running out […]

cream cheese brownies
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 […]
chocolate stout cake with cream cheese frosting
My friend Veda and I made a birthday cake for her dad. I wanted to make a “dad-approved” cake; something manly, rich, and festive. The kind of cake that can be eaten in a La-Z-Boy with a cold beer. That’s when I got the idea for a chocolate stout cake. This cake is rich, moist […]
s'mores brownies
I love pumpkins, apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg; but sometimes, around this time of year, I start to dearly miss the fun, carefree flavors of August. Especially s’mores. I was always the kid who burnt their marshmallow to a crisp in the campfire. Parents, teachers, and even other kids would always tell me to stop — […]
baked brownie
I believe that there is no such thing as a bad brownie, nor is there such thing as “the best” brownie. But there is such a thing as an extremely moist, perfect, delicious, melt-in-your mouth, oh-la-la brownie. Say hello to the Baked brownie. The recipe comes from Baked NYC, a bakery specializing in All-American baked […]
doubletree copycat cookies
Have you ever stayed at a DoubleTree hotel?Forget the Ritz Carlton, or the $30 peanuts at Hyatt.Nothing says hospitality like a huge, warm chocolate chip cookie — handed to you before you can even set your bag down. I remember staying at a DoubleTree in Anaheim when I was little. I was sleepy, hungry, and […]
