This past Saturday, Matt and I actually had a few hours with nothing on the agenda and I actually had energy, shocking! So I finally experimented with something I’ve been wanting to try forever, macarons! I’ve loved macarons since I first tried them at the famous La Duree in Paris almost six years ago. (Oh [...]

Brownie Cheesecake Insanity
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 [...]
Party Time

Ice Cream Pie with a New Year’s Eve Worthy Topping
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 [...]
Peanut Butter Cheesecakes and Avoiding Weight Gain
You already know that my pants don’t fit. I don’t know about you, but I find it nearly impossible to diet around this time of year. It is so cold out that the last thing I want to eat is salad. What really appeals to me are dishes like chili, lasagna, fresh baked cookies… comfort [...]
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Love
I love peanut butter. If a day goes by where I don’t have it, I experience withdrawal symptoms. A few days without it? Don’t mess with me. As much as I loved being in Italy for my honeymoon this summer, going without peanut butter for almost two weeks may have been enough to convince me [...]
