Blueberry Pretzel Clusters
Posted on April 10, 2011
There is a place at the Jersey Shore (not that Jersey Shore) that sells the most amazing chocolates. Every summer I look forward to a few trips for chocolate clusters filled with high quality fillings like caramel, nuts and marshmallows. On a good day, my grandfather will leave a box of them out in the…
Spiked Cookies and a Winner
Posted on April 7, 2011
Last weekend I had lots of plans for vegetables. Vegetables and chocolate cake (random, I know). But then I got caught up on Recipe Girl’s collection of chocolate chip recipes. And got busy with the Brown Eyed Baker’s Salted Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies. Oh yes, and I went a little crazy with Peeps. So…
Ooey Gooey Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Crunch
Posted on April 5, 2011
You know I have a weakness for holiday candy. These weren’t even on sale but I had to buy them. My sister pointed out how pretty the color was and I agreed. Plus, when was the last time I had a Peep? Trust me, it’s been too long. Never mind the fact that I don’t…
Hot Blondies Giveaway & Review
Posted on April 3, 2011
Hot Blondies Bakery: A+ Classic Brunette: “That brownie could bring world peace” I am very excited about this! Maybe it is because I got to eat a variety of delicious brownies and blondies that were delivered to my apartment. And maybe it’s because the baked goods came after being tortured in a bathing suit during…

Posted on March 31, 2011
This past weekend I was in Puerto Rico for my cousin’s wedding. It was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time with amazing weather, gorgeous pools and beach, and good food. The best part was that there was a great balance of spending time with my family (almost all of my…

Accidentally Scuffins
Posted on March 24, 2011
Sometimes recipe experiments don’t work out. Sometimes they work, just a little differently than you expect. I set out to make scones, but I ended up with scuffins! A scuffin is basically the hybrid of a scone and a muffin. These Cinnamon Apple Chunk Scuffins are hearty, chewy, and flavorful. Like scones, they aren’t too…

Mixed Fruit & Nut Butter
Posted on March 17, 2011
I love nut butter. Peanut butter, almond butter, mixed nuts, you name it. Just leave the coconut out and I am a happy girl. There are a few standard jars that I like to have on hand, but lately I’m enjoying making my own nut butter. It’s fun and easy to make, and the taste…
