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…
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…
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…

Paired with a salad and a piece of crusty bread, you’ve got a nice balanced meal. They are snap to put together once you’ve briefly cooked the broccoli and preheated the…

Are you ready for something sweet, slightly spicy and very gooey? If you are then I’ve got a treat for 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…
