"Oh I'd never put my elbows on the table" – Mary Berry
Yum These should really be called “Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies,” but that’s quite a mouthful, and is not GREAT for google searches. So, “Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies” it is, and the chocolate chunks can just be a pleasant surprise! Read on for the easy recipe for these treats and a little reflection on […]
Yum In today’s edition of the Boozy Bakes Series (number 12!), I explore a cocktail suggested by my friend Angela: the Sangria. The result is these simple blackberry sangria crumble bars! My mom and I love a good sangria, but it did pose a challenge when I started considering how to incorporate that flavor profile […]
Yum Indiana weather likes to play cruel games with us, but it definitely seems like spring is here to stay. We’ve been enjoying hammock time, looking forward to the end of school (at last! The end of the longest year EVER!) and making plans for the summer months. I’ve also been daydreaming about all the […]
Yum I feel like I’ve been living in a season of indecisiveness. I’ve been faced with a terribly difficult career decision in the past few weeks, and I have finally decided to move on to a new job after many sleepless nights and soul-searching. With similar agonizing, I found myself incredibly indecisive over Round 7 […]
Yum My husband loves donuts. Except, he’s incredibly picky, so it is more accurate to say that he loves one very specific type of donut from a very particular tiny donut shop in a little bitty town, the glazed donuts from Titus Bakery in Lebanon. He doesn’t eat any other donuts. However, this weekend I […]
Yum One of my favorite things is the vibe in the air when you get back from spring break. When you leave for your vacay, the sky is steely and grey, and there is a tang of winter weather infecting every puff of freezing wind. Last year’s leaves molder in the corners of the yard, […]
Yum I’m supposed to say “Brownie Cookie Sandwiches” in my first sentence for search engine purposes, so there you go. These have fudgy brownie shells, tart raspberry jam, and smooth white chocolate buttercream, and they are 1000 percent worth the calories. They are also very easy. You need to make them immediately. Brownies in a […]
Yum I know, they’re cute right? These little Easter Egg Macarons are so easy that I feel like its cheating to be able to bring something so cute to Easter brunch, but who would turn down the chance to impress? Macarons have a reputation for being really tricky, and they are certainly very technical, but […]
Yum My interest in this recipe for Pecan and Orange Millionaire’s Shortbread comes from my general obsession with Mary Berry and the Great British Bake Off. I have been making my way through the series for the eleventh or twelfth time, much to the bemusement of my Man-husband. We have gotten to the point that […]
Yum This video of my Cherry and Apple Mini Pies features one of my best friends, Helga. She is my food processor. Last weekend I went snooping into my fridge and came to the unfortunate conclusion that I couldn’t do any more grocery shopping (one of my favorite activities) before I got rid of some […]
