Posted on January 1, 2011
A few months ago I received a few coupons for free Stonyfield's ice cream or frozen yogurt. I finally used the coupons just in time for their expiration date and was inspired to use my frozen yogurts to make a New Year’s Eve dessert. I’ll leave a full review of the yogurt for a separate…

When I got past the step of stirring in sugar, I realized something was wrong. The batter was much thicker than it should be. Fortunately, I realized that my mistake was adding…
Brownies with Cookie Dough Topping
Posted on December 7, 2010
I learned to bake by watching my mom, the Original Baker. Most of my memories are of standing next to her at the kitchen counter as she measured ingredients and put them together effortlessly. I’d help pour the sugar into the bowl or turn on the mixer, and sometimes even crack the eggs. The best…
