Welcome to another edition of Way Back Wednesday. This week, featuring my very own Oatmeal Cream Pies from last October. These received raves at a party that I brought them to. Enjoy. The original post: Confession time. I’ve had crushes on girls. I’ll let that sink in a moment. In fact, my first crush was…

Chocolate Malted Whopper Cookies
As I write this post, I’m polishing off the other 6 ounces of Whoppers that weren’t needed for this recipe. I mean come on, how often do you have extra Whoppers on hand in the house? And they’re healthy, right? There’s some wholesome milk in them. At any rate, last week I borrowed Dorie Greenspan’s…
Cappuccino Brownies – Way Back Wednesday
Welcome to the first Way Back Wednesday at Made by Mike. A new weekly feature where I spotlight a recipe and post from some time ago. I realized that I get new readers every day. Readers that may have missed all the fun we had way-back-when. To kick off the series I reintroduce you to…
peanut butter – chocolate chip oatmeal cookies
What happens when you combine the best traits of three amazing cookies into one cookie? You get the Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie. Like any drop-cookie, they are a breeze to put together. The recipe bakes up 60 of these crispy-around-the-edges and chewy-in-the-center cookies. I particularly liked the addition of the salted whole peanuts. These…
vanilla-sugar palmiers with chocolate drizzle
Who’s up for baking a very simple cookie? You know, a cookie where you don’t even need to make the dough! Well, here it is, the Vanilla-Sugar Palmier with Chocolate Drizzle. The recipe is based on one from Everyday Food magazine (of course it is). Their version uses cinnamon and sugar. Well, I’ve been going…
orange-vanilla meringue swirls
A little sweet, a little crispy and a little chewy. These Orange-Vanilla Meringue Swirls are a perfect little treat. It’s amazing what a few great ingredients can become when combined with simple techniques.They taste almost like one of those delightful orange creamsicles. Featured in the May issue of Martha Stewart Living, I’ve been looking forward…
glazed citrus doodles
The weather has turned a bit cold, wet and gray, as of late. But who am I to complain after such an amazingly mild winter? To counter the gray, I turned to these bright and cheerful cookies from the May issue of Everyday Food magazine. It’s their riff on the cookie-favorite, snickerdoodle. Here, they’ve swapped…
almond sugar cookies with almond frosting
I bake a lot. And in order to not weigh in at 700 pounds. I give a good portion of my baked goods away. It’s not uncommon for me to bring treats to work once a week. Well this past Monday morning, before heading in to work, I whipped up these Almond Sugar Cookies with…
cherry, almond and white chocolate blondies
That, up there in the photo, is officially Greg’s new favorite blondie. And I can’t argue, it’s pretty darn tasty. You’ve seen quite a few blondie variations here on my blog. There’s a good explanation. They are a one bowl, easy to remember, recipe that revolves around the number one. As in: one stick of…
orange vanilla bean cupcakes
I made these Orange Vanilla Bean Cupcakes over the weekend after seeing them pop up on Annie’s Eats on Friday. They taste great and are really elegant, too. They would be perfect for a spring baby or bridal shower. Actually, they’d be great if you’re just hungry for an amazing cupcake. As I said, you…
