Pita bread is a good reason to have an oven light. It goes from sad dough rounds to bubbling miracles in just 2 minutes! I might’ve topped one of these pitas like a pizza and placed it in the broiler for about 5 minutes and ate it for dinner. I just love pizza. Did you know that?

Mother’s Day is tomorrow. And my mom lives 14 hours away! I wish I could give her one of these tarts because she loves raspberries more than any lady I know. My mom’s kind of lady who bakes cookies for no reason and brushes pie crusts with chocolate to take them up a notch. She appreciates bakeries and teeny shortbreads and makes homemade dog treats for her little Lucy all the time. Basically, she’s a…
I can count on Jake making pizza every week. I can count on Elliot mistaking a tulip for a squirrel and trying to fight it. (He gets embarrassed when we go up close and he realizes it’s just a tulip.) I can always count on being hungry for corn bread topped with honey, and these scones have that cornbread and honey thing that I find completely irresistible. These guys are best warm, right out of…
I don’t have an ice cream maker. What I do have is 10 minutes, chocolate and a dream. This ice cream is magic because instead of needing to be churned for hours, it can be fluffy and glorious simply by folding whipped cream all up in some chocolate. A few bites in and this magical ice cream was compared to mousse, which is probably what most ice creams want to be compared to. Sometimes I’m…
All I know is that at my friend’s wedding last weekend I had a strawberry cheesecake cupcake. I think that cupcake memory is why these hit the spot as the perfect girls night treat. These guys have it all. Graham cracker goodness, strawberries and cake with a cheesecake center.

When this was baking, my kitchen smelled like an ice cream parlor … or maybe like a waffle cone. So, that’s probably reason enough to make this, right? I decided to use some of my miscellaneous chips for this. They look pretty, eh? Make these crunchy guys! Package them up for friends. Give them to your boyfriend! Leave them at home for when there is a snacking necessity. And look at that down there! These…
This is a fall-ish dinner. It really is. But let me tell you something. It’s the kind of thing you’re going to want to make on those windy spring days that you have to wear a trench coat just so your skirt doesn’t fly everywhere else. And it might not be 80 degrees yet here in Michigan, and it was totally raining the other day. So there you go. Also, I can see myself making…
This weekend was full of tough choices. Which cupcake should I have: strawberry cheesecake or bumpy cake? Which kind of coffee should I buy? Should I try to curl my hair? Hefeweizen or Custom Blonde? Should I have cheese on my bread or in my bread? Ok. I tried both cupcakes. I got some local coffee roasted and stuff in a place Jake vacationed once. I tried to curl my hair. I felt fancy like…
I have a new oven! So I have cake! Have you ever been to a cake wedding? This may as well have been one. A lemon cake and some blackberry sauce eloped, and nobody judged them. Have you ever eaten blackberries and felt like you were getting bullied by seeds? Well, don’t bother worrying about that with this delicious sauce topping this lemony cake. After blending the sauce ingredients, you simply strain it through a…
Today is the day that a new FULL SIZE oven will be delivered to my flat. I’m pretty excited … still thinking about what to make in it first. All, I know is that we are for sure making dinner tonight and I’m for sure making dessert. But first things first … peanut butter and chocolate hung out in my kitchen last night. The peanut butter mingled with some graham cracker crumbs and even canoodled…
