I did something stupid last weekend, but I did it for you.
You Can Weep for This
This was originally going to be my February post, and it was going to be about love. What about love, you ask? Oh, lots of things. Love is a pretty broad topic to cover, and even when I tried to tie it to food (as I do everything) I was overwhelmed by the options. I…… Continue reading You Can Weep for This
Iced Pumpkin Cookies
My husband’s favorite flavor of anything is pumpkin. (Don’t come at me with the “pumpkin is just the flavor of the spices” thing. We’ve been over it.) When we started dating he asked that I make him pumpkin cookies and, as I do, I threw something together without much thought given to the ingredient ratios/textural…… Continue reading Iced Pumpkin Cookies
Gluten-Free Brown Sugar Cookies with White Chocolate Drizzle
I’ll be honest with you. I have a lot of trouble with gluten-free baking. It’s largely because I’m a hot mess who bakes on instinct and gluten-free ingredients don’t behave in the ways I want them to, except in this recipe! I threw it together one Sunday morning and, lo and behold, real people outside…… Continue reading Gluten-Free Brown Sugar Cookies with White Chocolate Drizzle
White Chocolate Chai Cookies
The best way to describe these cookies is that they’re fulfilling in a cozy, deep-in-your-belly way. I originally intended them to be a holiday treat (and, I mean, you should make them during the holidays), but I think they really shine as January’s cookie. Much like the drink that inspired them, they’re warm and comforting…… Continue reading White Chocolate Chai Cookies
Domino Cookies
I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of mall cookies. (You know the ones I’m talking about.) My personal favorite is the Domino Cookie, a fudgy, decadent beast dotted with creamy white chocolate chips. I’ve tried my best to replicate the mall version, though mine is slightly denser and chewier. Serve with…… Continue reading Domino Cookies
Eat Your Leftovers
At long last, it’s 2020. What a peaceful, round, even-looking number for a year that will almost certainly be more chaotic than its aesthetically unsatisfying predecessor. (2019 just looks like someone forgot to finish something.) 2020 is an election year, and a critical one. The world is a mess that we’re doing a miserable job…… Continue reading Eat Your Leftovers
Pretty Much Just Chicken Casserole
I threw this together when Alex and I were doing the keto thing and it’s been a go-to ever since. It works topped with almond flour or breadcrumbs and is subtle enough to compliment most vegetables, salads, or grains. I usually split it into 4 servings. 2ish cups of rotisserie, boiled, or otherwise previously-cooked chicken…… Continue reading Pretty Much Just Chicken Casserole
Dijon Mustard Dressing
This easy dressing makes even the most bitter greens palatable. At its core it’s honey mustard, but the grainy dijon and reserved amount of honey keep it from being texturally one-note or cloyingly sweet. I recommend mixing the dressing in a large salad bowl, then adding your greens to toss. I use it for 2-3…… Continue reading Dijon Mustard Dressing
A Note About Pastry
If you spend even a moment of time on my Instagram page, you’ll notice that I make a lot of pastry. Occasionally, if I’m proud, I’ll post a good photo of a layered cake or a batch of cookies or even a savory dish, but most of the successes of my baking life rest upon…… Continue reading A Note About Pastry
