There was a phase for a while on this blog where both Molly and I were posting “Brownie Doctor” recipes that zhuzh-ed up brownies mixes. It was an excellent phase! I don’t know whether I just bake more variety of things, or have replaced brownie mix with homemade brownies, but I feel like I haven’t…
Triple Chocolate Tarte
The idea for this triple chocolate tarte has been knocking around in my brain for a while. It came about because I’ve been wanting to try this brownie caramel from Milk Bar, and I have also been wanting to make something in a tarte pan. And ALSO I’ve just been craving plain ol’ chocolate recently….
Banana Cupcakes with Oatmeal Cookie Frosting
I have been posting regularly again for over a year now, and more than I ever did when we started it. (It’s amazing how much time you can find in a day when you’re not doing high school homework or trapped in LA traffic!) But I’ve gotten pretty lazy about maintenance and admin things. Molly…
Birthday Cake Cookies
For all the birthday cake flavored things that exist in this world, it’s rare that you actually make them for a birthday. Because… birthdays usually have actual birthday cake! So, while Milk Bar has endlessly proved that you don’t need to have a birthday to make something birthday cake flavored, when my brother needed a…
PB&J Monster Cookies
Sometimes I feel like the grocery store is out of control. And I’m not just talking about prices. I’m talking about the number of items available. Companies just will not stop coming up with things. In the past week alone, I’ve seen Cinnamon Toast Crunch Hershey Kisses, Butterbeer Goldfish, bunny-shaped Reese’s Puffs, and PB&J M&Ms….
Brown Butter Cherry Chocolate Cookies
I’m still trying to use up ingredients in my pantry. This is, perhaps, a never-ending, always-losing, sort of battle, but I do think I am making headway! This recipe used up the bag of dried cherries, and I’ve not got too many niche ingredients left. Slowly but surely, my pantry will be at a good…
$15,000 Smashed Potatoes
Recently, as the temperatures here approached highs of 2 degrees Fahrenheit, our furnace stopped working! It was something we had all been “bracing” for, as it was older than me. But the timing really was comical. Thankfully, the replacement was installed the next day. And thank you to my landlord parents for shelling out for…
Reese’s Puffs Cookies
My favorite cereal as a kid was the hazelnut chocolate biscotti granola from Target (that has tragically been discontinued, but Molly found a very good dupe recipe for it). But in terms of mainstream cereals, that were only purchased on special occasions, then Reese’s Puffs were the best. Then Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. But regardless,…
Reese’s Puffs Ice Cream
There’s an ice cream shop in town near me that runs a very exclusive business. Every Thursday night, they do a “drop,” where a couple hundred pints of ice cream in 1-3 flavors go on sale, and usually sell out in minutes. You pick from their list of pickup window time slots to pick up…
Chocolate Root Beer Float Cookies
Long-time readers of this blog (my family), may remember these Root Beer Float Cupcakes of 2013. They were memorable for a few reasons: my first time baking with root beer extract and finding out how good the combination was, and a big breakthrough moment of getting the photos accepted to the site Foodgawker (which was…
