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…

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…
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…

Cinnamon Caramel Swirl Bars from Martha Stewart’s amazing Cookies App. My original plan was to share a recipe for Lemon Spice Cookies with you. I wasn’t very happy with the photos from that baking…
chocolate caramels with sea salt
We’re going to keep this short, and well, sweet. After all, it is hump day for my 5 Days of Sweets. I have a friend celebrating a birthday this week. I asked what she’d like me to make for her. Her response, “something chocolate.” Well, I can do that. How can you go wrong with…
pumpkin spice latte cupcakes
It seems like cupcake stores are popping up on every corner these days. And don’t get me wrong, that’s not the worst thing in the world to happen. I’d much rather pass twenty cupcakeries than twenty drug stores or cash-advance establishments. My issue is that the cupcakes are rarely stupendous. Yes, there are inventive flavors…
