Dark Chocolate Kissed Almond Butter
Posted on June 2, 2011
I had big baking plans for last night, but with the temperature around 90 degrees, turning on the oven just seemed wrong. A no-bake dessert probably would have been a good solution, but Matt has been asking me to make chocolate almond butter for a few weeks now. It shouldn't have taken so long to…

Magic
Posted on May 22, 2011
Magic: Possessing distinctive qualities that produce unaccountable or baffling effects source The ability for a pie to exist one minute and be gone the next, that seems like magic to me. The ability for a dessert to call your name and whisper sweet words into your ear, I'd call that magic. The ability for a…

Not only was Saturday Sara’s bridal shower, but it was also just a couple of days after a big birthday for her mom. So, in addition to fun pick-up desserts, I wanted to make a birthday cake. Usually I’d stay safe with a vanilla or chocolate cake for a crowd, but I wanted to make…

Brownie Cheesecake Insanity
Posted on May 10, 2011
Let’s talk about this dessert. Let’s talk about how many emails my mom and I exchanged regarding the details of this dessert. Ok, let’s not, because it is a little embarrassing. Let’s just say I started craving cheesecake around 7am every day over the course of a week or so. No big deal. We can’t…
