Because I’m obsessed with food, my digestive system, and more specifically how food affects my (usually pissed-off) digestive system, I’m always fooling around with a new diet.  Could there be a way of eating that doesn’t leave me feeling (or looking) 18 weeks pregnant?  (If being 18 weeks pregnant feels like …

I have to be honest: I don’t really remember making these muffins, like at all. This picture somehow appeared while downloading photos of desserts I distinctly do remember making (like the Hazelnut Layer Brownies that you’re going to go all apeshit for when I get around to posting the recipe around August-ish). …

I’m a little bit embarrassed to post this recipe, but screw it. Maybe I’m a teeny bit snobby when it comes to desserts (something I don’t work at being, but when you learn the merits of baking things from scratch… it happens?).  I was raised on (glorious) birthday cakes that …

Don’t underestimate the powerful effect that icing can have on an already-spectacular dessert, let alone the smell of your kitchen when making it.  For these Blondies, feel free to get creative and substitute white chocolate chips for the butterscotch ones in the recipe below.  The purist in me keeps Blondies …

If the idea of a fudgy, creamy, almost-inch-thick layer of bittersweet chocolate makes you feel funny inside (in that good way), then try to imagine this lovely layer sandwiched between what is essentially a buttery, crumbly, oatmeal cookie.  The cookie knows enough in this recipe to yield to the beauty …

I know there’s no such word as ‘cocodamia’, but work with me here.  Coconut macadamia got together and had a love child, who then hooked up with white chocolate.  And these bars were born, in the tropics. You’re basically going to take the recipe for Coconut Macaroons and stir in the …

If you haven’t figured it out, these bars have three layers of chocolate.  Some might think it’s excessive to have three layers of cocoa goodness going on in one meager bar, but these are the people that we don’t want to associate with anyways.  Bring on the layers, I say, …

Okay, so I didn’t just make these bars because I made homemade maraschino cherries (and therefore have a crapload of them hanging around- let’s face it- how many cocktails with maraschino cherries can a girl take in a two week window?)- I made these bars because any kind of dessert …

I knew I was going to fall hard for this recipe as soon as I stumbled upon it.  White chocolate?  Definitely interested. Cashews?  Keep talking. Coffee in the batter?  Um hmm. White chocolate frosting, generously slathered over top (my own twist on the recipe)?  Preheat the oven and let’s get …

I know this sounds confusing, so stuck with me and I’m pretty sure you’ll get it. You already know about the glory associated with The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie, right?  Fudgy, chewy, rich, chocolatey, and other words that describe the best brownie ever. Well. What if you took my Buttermilk …
