22 Easy Dessert Recipes that Make You Seem Like a Pro
Posted on December 13, 2011
I recently ran into a friend of mine that said she loved my blog but that she could never make any of the desserts I put together because 1) they are hard/time consuming and 2) she doesn’t have any of the “random” ingredients on hand. As someone who works full time and bakes and blogs…
Lighter Carrot Snack Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
Posted on December 8, 2011
Ok, I'm going to be honest. I'm posting a recipe for carrot cake and I don't even like carrot cake. You see, I really thought I did. Moist cake slathered in cream cheese icing, how could it be bad? Well, of course my version that I thought I would like is void of raisins, walnuts…

Samplrs Review and Other NYC Foodie Gifts
Posted on December 4, 2011
One of my favorite things about living in New York is the plethora of local businesses there are to try. The thing is, though, it is hard to get to try them all out. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sample from Samplrs, a new company in New York City that offers…
Pretzel and Chocolate Chip Loaded Peanut Butter Cookies
Posted on December 1, 2011

Cheesecake Party!
Posted on November 29, 2011
I am a big fan of cheesecake, although not quite as much as my husband. In fact, the first time we celebrated his birthday together, I cooked dinner and made a special trip to the Cheesecake Factory for a slice of their Oreo Cheesecake to surprise him. It wasn’t long after that, though, when I…

I don’t know about you, but I am swimming in leftovers. The thing is, I can’t decide if it is a good or bad thing. I have plenty of food to get us through the next few days. But really, how much turkey can one person eat? If only I could get sick of cookies…

These gooey and delicious oatmeal bars are made with just basic ingredients, they are gluten-free and guilt-free!

Pumpkin Pie Cookie Dough Truffle Pops
Posted on November 20, 2011
We are just a few days away from Thanksgiving and although I’ve been putting pumpkin in my oatmeal since the end of August (I have no shame), I’m not even close to sick of it. It is actually a miracle that my skin isn’t orange given the fact that I go through the cans of…
Salted Caramel and Brownie Cheesecake Bars
Posted on November 17, 2011
This dessert has been haunting me since it came out of the oven. I took photos yesterday morning and it was all I could do not to devour the entire pan, sliver by sliver. These cheesecake bars are not for me so unfortunately (or fortunately) I was forced to keep my mouth shut after a…
