Posted on July 13, 2015
Chewy brown butter blondies bursting with fresh blueberries and dark chocolate chunks. I guess I’m on a blondie bender. Is that a thing? After this recipe, I made a monster batch of my famous KISD blondies for a friend, last week I ran into the kitchen to make this new recipe and then I actually…

Happy weekend! Ahhhhhhhhh deep breathe. This week was a rough one… good, but rough. L seems to be teething (I think/hope) and decided he didn’t want to nap in the crib at all. I don’t mind a few car and stroller naps, but when there are zero naps that involve me getting a break I…
Gluten free Banana Cake with White Chocolate Whipped Cream
Posted on July 6, 2015
Moist, flavorful gluten-free banana cake topped with a sweet light white chocolate whipped cream. I’ve mentioned it before, but when I bake gluten-free treats, I tend to steer towards those that are lower maintenance on the ingredient spectrum.

I hope everyone is enjoying a long summer weekend with good food, good weather and fun! Somehow last weekend’s post never went up but I don’t feel like all that much happened in the last couple of weeks. I’m just trying to take advantage of any good weather that comes our way and find fun…

A light chiffon cake topped with mango glaze and a layer of whipped cream. The perfect light and refreshing summer cake. So last week I overloaded you with chocolate because that’s what I was craving. Today, though, I have a dessert to satisfy someone else’s cravings. Sweet Zainab is having a baby boy and loves…
Fudgy Mocha Chip Brownies with Espresso Sea Salt
Posted on June 22, 2015
The fudgiest brownies with a hint of mocha and touch of salt to kick any chocolate craving in the butt. Kind of like my beloved blondies, it’s been too long since I’ve made brownies. I know it’s summer and time for light fruit desserts or frozen ice cream treats, but all I wanted last week…

This weekend is extra special because yesterday Matt and I celebrated our 5-year anniversary! We took L out to an early dinner of Cuban food (so early that we were there for the wait staff’s pre-service meeting ha). I’m so excited, though, because tonight we are going on a date (first real date night in…
