Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Pound Cake with Whipped Chocolate Ganache

I don’t know what it is, but when I travel for a weekend, I always have a million different bags.  Maybe I just should take 1 big bag and call it a day?  I just try so hard to be an efficient and minimalist traveler (ha!). What if I want to workout?  Sneakers.  Are we [...]

(Real) Pistachio Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Buttercream

My dad isn’t a dessert person. I know, cover your mouth in horror!  Him and my sister both… my mom and I, we are just made differently.  Actually, I relate to my dad in a lot of other ways.  His math and science-geared brain, his smile, and his stubbornness, to name a few. When I [...]

Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

Last night was my 10-year high school reunion.  I didn’t really know what to expect, but for some reason I was a little nervous about going.  There was the whole cliché of wanting to look good, which isn’t all that convenient two days after Thanksgiving, but I also wondered if it would be all that [...]

Mini Halloween Confetti Cookie Sandwiches

As much as I prepared before launching Keep It Sweet Desserts, there is so much learning that I’ve done on the job over the last few months.  Countless lessons learned, mistakes made, products changed and instances of thinking on my feet.  I’ve been mentally making a list but I thought I’d share a few of [...]

Chocolate Chunk Meringues

How was everyone’s weekend?  I can’t help but be envious of anyone who got an Easter basket yesterday.  For my entire life I’ve wanted one, is that weird?  You better believe that I will be taking advantage of the post-Easter candy sales, though!  I hope I can get my hands on some of those solid [...]

Magic Cake Bars for Easter

For the record, Matt wanted me to take a picture of my hand over the cake and pretend it was the hand of our little niece or nephew helping in the kitchen. 1) We don’t have any nieces or nephews 2) No one wants to see my hands after twelve hour days in the kitchen [...]

St. Patrick’s Day Mint Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

I’m usually so bad about coming up with holiday-themed desserts.  But today, in honor of my LAST DAY OF WORK and tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day, I’m sharing something so easy that you won’t mind making it last minute. The secret to these sandwiches is a pre-made wafer cookie.  Shhh, I won’t tell.  Stuff them [...]

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread {Guest Post}

Hi, friends!  I have so much to share with you from my Foodbuzz weekend but an apartment full of boxes is keeping me from the blog right now.  In fact, I still haven’t found my underwear (thank G-d for now having a washer and dryer in the apartment!).  On the upside, I don’t have to [...]

The Ultimate Thanksgiving Recipe List

What a week this has been!  We moved yesterday and although we made good progress, my bedroom is stacked with boxes of clothes and no where to put them yet.  Luckily we prioritized and the kitchen is ready to go.  Both of us are loving our new place and with twice the amount of space [...]

Ooey Gooey Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Crunch

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 [...]
