Oh wow, it’s been quite a year. I say that both in a calender year sense, as we all get ready to drink too much cheap Champagne and barf all over our equally cheap, overly-sequined Forever 21 dresses to celebrate the close of 2010, and in a blog year sense, as today marks my one [...]

The Great Failure of 2010

Well, as you can probably tell by now, The 25 Days of Christmas Cookies Challenge was a bust. There were a lot of things I didn’t realize going in to the challenge, that, had I known, probably would have prompted me to make it, “The 12 Days of Christmas Cookies Challenge,” or maybe even, “The [...]
Cake-Haters Gonna Hate

As someone who would gladly bathe in Funfetti and butter cream, I find it slightly offensive when I come across someone who claims that they “don’t like cake.” Is it the amazing-ness of the butter cream, or the fact that the cake tastes like a gift from Jesus? I guess I’m just not sure what [...]

Tonight’s recipe is probably the simplest recipe ever. Like, if you agree to bring a dessert to your company’s holiday party and then go out the night before and get super wasted and forget your dessert obligations until like 1 am, you should just resort to this recipe. You might scorch a fingertip working with [...]

There are certain moments in life that call for a recipe that has the nutritional value of a stick of butter. Finding out that your high school sweetheart is a coke-dealing skeeze, realizing you have to ask your parents to spot you rent money…again, discovering that you spilled an entire bottle of windshield washer fluid [...]

The thought of using a candy thermometer makes me want to punch someone. In my day-to-day life, this is a non-issue because the candy I consume comes in two pound yellow bags, is shaped like an ambiguous fish, and is usually on sale at the grocery store. However, I’ve always wanted to make fudge. In [...]

While the point of this challenge is obviously to eat my way to a bigger cup size, I also hoped it would provide us all with some good treats to give to our friends as Christmas gifts. This recipe? Is more-than-deserving of a spot on one of your holiday cookie plates. It’s tasty, it’s fancy, [...]
The 25 Days of Christmas Cookies Challenge: Day 5

Last night, I wanted to bake something simple. I was tired, my husband was crabby, and I had just spent 90 minutes making chicken Parmesan. So yes, in order to maintain sanity and some semblance of marital bliss, it might be more accurate to say that I needed to bake something simple. And that’s when [...]

I learned some very important lessons this weekend. Using dark brown sugar to make chocolate chip blondies, makes them, er…not so blond. Forgetting to grease the pan turns serving said blondies into a serious arm workout. Specifically, one that causes irreparable damage to that pan. When dark brown sugar is allowed to caramelize in the [...]

I know, I know. Pumpkin was so last month. But if you’re like me, you still have enough canned pumpkin to survive the Apocalypse. I may have gone a little overboard during The Great Pumpkin Shortage of 2009, purchasing a 16-can case of pumpkin puree on Amazon. To date, I have used about five cans. [...]
