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”
Dark Molasses Gingerbread Cake
This cake has been tempting me since I first laid eyes on it while perusing Food52. And then it started taunting me when I saw that Molly used the cake as her base for terrariums. Edible gingerbread terrariums. Seriously?!? I won’t even mention her gingerbread farm except that I will and the windows are freaking JollyContinue reading “Dark Molasses Gingerbread Cake”
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies
‘ You could use these as bait for any kind of trap‘. A compliment from a grateful co-worker as he stuffed perhaps his third of what would ultimately become eight cookies by the end of his shift, into his mouth. Side note – I often pray to the high heavens for his metabolism. I amContinue reading “Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies”
The End of Summer Vegetable Frittata
You guys! I am moving. In the brick and mortar sense. With boxes and packing tape. Newspaper and bubble wrap. Black sharpie markers and newspaper. There are boxes stacking up in the front room and I am in the ‘ it gets worse before it gets better’ stage. Stan is just playing in theContinue reading “The End of Summer Vegetable Frittata”
Pizza Strata
Or personal pan pizza strata. Or pepperoni, mushroom, and caramelized onion strata with roasted tomatoes and extra cheese. A bit wordy, no? I read a gazillion books in third grade to earn a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Hundreds of pages for a 4 inch pizza made just for me that was delivered toContinue reading “Pizza Strata”
Chocolate Glazed Walnut Brownies
I know. What the world needs is not one more brownie recipe. I think perhaps finding a renewable energy source would rank above brownies…however I have the ingredients and the know how for brownies at my fingertips. How to harness wind power and sunlight and redirect their energy to power say my car or toasterContinue reading “Chocolate Glazed Walnut Brownies”
