Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Cake

I found myself making this cake twice in the period of 6 days. I had my reasons … if they were good and legitimate I am unsure, however cake was the result…so, honestly who cares. Cake number one was more of a belated birthday cake of sorts … I made the proper month but wasContinue reading “Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Cake”

Chocolate Mousse

I miss her. That is all. I miss her as she was when I was 8. I miss being 8. I want to jump back to 1991 and whisper in my own ear and say, take a moment. Take a good look around. Get it set in your brain. This, all of it; the sights,Continue reading “Chocolate Mousse”

Walnut Brownies with Flaky Sea Salt

Have you been basketballing this weekend? Fun fact…this weekend, the opening weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament, is the most common time of year for males to get a vasectomy. Get snipped and recover with an ice pack placed just perfectly so, basketball on the tube, and a beer in the hand. I find this toContinue reading “Walnut Brownies with Flaky Sea Salt”

Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake

I need to apologize. I have been holding out on you guys for at least two weeks. And honestly, it has been longer than that but the exact amount of time is beyond me and any guess would be a straight exaggeration because I can not, for the life of me, make an educated guessContinue reading “Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake”

Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette

I haven’t the slightest idea of what to talk about today. I mean, Mardi Gras is happening so we could chat about baking tiny babies into cakes or about eating our weight in jelly donuts that are then rolled in sweet glorious sugar and consumed in such high quantities on Fat Tuesday that it makesContinue reading “Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Galette”

Browned Butter Vanilla Rum Snacking Cake

Corduroys, grayish black and cozy as all get out. A flannel shirt with snaps. Snaps. Wool running socks. Large snow flakes. Cold crisp air. A Large Americano. A scarf that matches nothing and clashes with everything but makes me insanely happy for no good reason. Gray skies and a frozen lake. Saturday morning marketContinue reading “Browned Butter Vanilla Rum Snacking Cake”

Chocolate Silk Pie

You guys, it is Monday again…I feel like I was just looking forward to a darn weekend and here it is over and I am dragging myself towards another week, that is brimming with work and while I am grateful for it, it leads me to just crave Saturday morning where there is no angryContinue reading “Chocolate Silk Pie”

Grapefruit Curd

I have a grapefruit curd for you this week. And I so wish there was another word for curd besides, well – curd. Much too harsh and dreary a word for something that is creamy, sweet, tart, and smooth – and so damn delicious! Ginger was added and it makes you sit and ponder theContinue reading “Grapefruit Curd”

Caramelized Onion Dip

We are on the cusp of entering into the year that Marty McFly visited in Back to the Future II. Where are the hoverboards? 2015 here we come. Ready or not. That clock is gonna tick tock its way right along, with or without ya. It is best just to get flipping excited aboutContinue reading “Caramelized Onion Dip”

Cranberry Orange Shortbread Bars

You guys. You guys! It is the week of Christmas and I think. I think I have my Christmas shopping complete. I think. There is bound to be someone or something that pops up between now and Thursday. It happens each and every year and whatever…instead of trying to think of who/what I have forgottenContinue reading “Cranberry Orange Shortbread Bars”
