"Oh I'd never put my elbows on the table" – Mary Berry
Yum This amazing strawberry tart recipe comes from a baker that I admire very much, Mrs. Sabrina Bone, the owner of Sabi Sweets, an excellent Crawfordsville-based home bakery! Sabrina is the mother of one of my former students, and she never hesitated to dedicate her time, energy, and of course her delicious baked goods to […]
This cupcake is the second in my Boozey Bakes series, and it is one of my favorite college cocktails: the good old tequila sunrise. The sunrise element comes from two colorful ingredients: orange juice and grenadine (or that sugary cherry juice that is in the bottom of your maraschino cherry jar.). The tequila element comes from… tequila. Go figure.
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 I have a deep dark secret. I love the Olive Garden. Listen, I know. It’s terrible for me. It has a ton of sodium. I should be supporting local restaurants and businesses instead. But. Like. I really like the breadsticks. And the really cold salad. One of my most embarrassing fun facts: I once […]
Yum This weekend while working on these Bailey’s Chocolate Mudslide Cupcakes I invented something that really shouldn’t be allowed to exist: Baileys pastry cream. It is so indulgent and smooth and luscious and devastatingly caloric and utterly irresistible that I really shouldn’t be keeping it in the house. I am too weak. But more on […]
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 The perfect excuse to blow the diet and make these delicious Crockpot Cheesy Bacon Chicken Nachos was delivered this week: We’re totally snowed in here in Indianapolis, but I secretly kind of love it. I like the cozy feeling, and knowing that the house is covered in show makes me feel like I live […]
Yum Here from Pinterest looking for the Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes recipe? Scroll past this story and find the recipe about half way down. Or, read the story for a laugh. This week has been full of baking. After posting about my Valentine’s Day Cake (see my recipe post here) I had some interest from friends […]
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 […]
I attended a small private university in downtown Indianapolis, and I loved every second of it, but I also received some of the worst advice I’ve ever heard from a member of the faculty there right before I was set to begin my first teaching job. And I bet it is a piece of advice […]
