No churn ice cream swirled with cinnamon roll filling and full of cinnamon roll cookie pieces! , Every time I make a new ice cream flavor, I convince myself that it’s a new favorite and I can’t possibly come up with another that I will enjoy as much. The last batch, which was so good…
Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Bars
Posted on April 25, 2016
Cheesecake bars are an easier but equally delicious way to enjoy cheesecake. To be honest, I’ve barely baked over the last few weeks. Last week I made ice cream (recipe coming soon, it was pretty much the best ever) and a simple Passover dessert, but that was it. Between our week in Florida and every…
Chocolate Covered Oreos, Three Ways
Posted on December 7, 2015
Chocolate covered Oreos are the best homemade Christmas gift! The three different recipes for this easy no-bake treat are so much fun. Chocolate covered Oreos aren’t exactly a new thing. I’ve been making them for years and have seen them sold in many candy stores. Usually, though, they are plain milk or dark chocolate. After…

Creamy pumpkin ice cream with huge chunks of pumpkin sandwich cookies. You don’t need an ice cream maker for this fun fall treat! The other week I picked up a bunch of fun fall treats from Trader Joe’s and Target. When I got home, I set them on my counter and said, “inspire me”. And while…

No Churn Oreo Fudge Swirl Ice Cream

This easy no-churn Vanilla bean ice cream is full of Oreo chunks and a delicious ribbon of fudge. Other than the part where my tripod fell over and knocked my camera directly into the ice cream, I loved this. After a slight moment of panic, I gently wiped the mess off of my lens and…
Mint Cookies and Cream Buttercream Cups
Posted on March 3, 2014
Rich dark chocolate candy cups filled with crème de menthe buttercream and crushed oreos. I’m not feeling all that great today so I’m going to keep this short. These candy cups will kind of win over anyone who loves a little 2-bite treat. My mom, while a buttercream lover, isn’t usually a fan of mint…
No-Bake Cookie Dough Oreo Cheesecakes
Posted on February 17, 2014
Individual no-bake cheesecakes full of edible cookie dough chunks and sitting on top of a cookie dough Oreo crust I don’t have a lot of pictures for you today (this dessert was not photogenic, but it was tasty!) and I am having major writer’s block. I’ll just blame the winter, it seems to be the…
Salted Caramel Oreo Bars
Posted on January 23, 2014
These sweet and salty dessert bars are packed with an Oreo crust, chocolate, pretzels and salted caramel. You won’t believe how easy these are to make. Of all the salted caramel recipes I’ve made, these are by far the most dangerous. The first time I made them, Matt joked about how ugly they were and…
Mini Cookies ‘n Cream Cupcakes
Posted on February 19, 2013
Well, I’m pretty much at that point before vacation where I’m in a little bit of denial about how much I need to do beforehand. Lots and lots and lots of cookies need to be made and my head is already in a world where the sun is shining and I have a tequila infused…

Chewy No-Bake “Thin Mint” Bars
Posted on February 23, 2012
Sometimes I have a million recipe ideas going through my head at a time and can’t get into the kitchen fast enough. And sometimes I have baker’s block. Every cookie or brownie variation will feel overdone and the creative section of my brain goes into freeze mode. Sometimes I really get stuck and just need…
Cookies ‘n Cream Double Chocolate Cookies
Posted on September 1, 2011
I’ve really been enjoying the Cookies ‘n Cream Almond Butter Spread I made a few weeks ago. It isn’t the typical nut butter consistency so really the easiest way to eat it is on a spoon. I have no problem with that! But since it is more of a dessert spread, I thought it deserved…
Cookies ‘n Cream Almond Butter Spread
Posted on August 18, 2011
I like to have a variety of nut butters available to eat at any given time. As of last night, there were six open jars in my kitchen. I'm not going to tell you how many unopened jars are in the cabinets. Let's just say that I invest in peanut butter like some people invest…
Frozen Mocha Brownie Torte

Black and White and Loving Vanilla Bean
Posted on February 9, 2011
My sister’s 23rd birthday is coming up, and she is having a cocktail party* to celebrate. The color scheme for the evening is black and white so I am helping out by baking desserts with those colors. The first thing that came to my mind was black and white cheesecake bars. That is slightly ironic…
For the Chocoholics
Posted on January 23, 2011
Every time I visit my parents, my mom and I email constantly the week before about what we will bake. There are always too many things for us to try, so it’s usually a pretty fattening special looking recipe that makes the cut. Last weekend we made Picky Palate’s Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Sandwiches and…
