Sticky Toffee Pudding

Kate Middleton turns 30 today (January 9th) and like a good little fan girl I decided to celebrate the #1 googled person in my life by baking a decidedly British dessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Pistachio Brittle

December 13, 2011

Until last week the only type of brittle I’d ever made was my mom’s microwave version. I documented it on this blog in a furious tizzy years ago after I was woken up by the troop of fools who used to shovel snow and hack away at ice in our apartment community at ungodly hours [...]

August 19, 2009

Many years ago there was a company called Bean’s Corner Popcorn near my hometown and I vaguely remember them selling all of these super sugary, brightly colored, and uniquely flavored popcorn varieties. I think they even had a blueberry version that boasted a navy blue coating with a tasty artificial additive that I happily gobbled [...]

Homemade Nutter Butters

July 9, 2009

As an unabashed peanut butter addict who frequently can be caught eating spoonfuls of the sweet and salty goop directly from the jar I am by default also a fan of Nutter Butter cookies. This recipe caught my eye quite some time ago and I found it yesterday while browsing through my extensive collection of [...]
