Ok so Mike, he’s a lucky guy. Super lucky guy. Not only does he have me in his life but he also chows down on all these tasty treats I present to you plus heaps of stuff in between. And even better for him, I bake especially for him on occasion. Always the Peach Pie towards […]
It’s that time again! Big birthday celebrations for the birthday boys over here! My annual Peach Pie for Mike is forthwith as after all, it is the Month of Mike. And this year, Finn, the gigantic fluffernutter, received his very own cake! Man, are they lucky or what? So I know, this particular carrot […]
Choooocolate pudding, ah yes. I have loved chocolate pudding since, gosh, probably since I was one minute old. Ok yeah, no, my mom did not feed me chocolate pudding as an infant. Or, not that I’m aware. Although if she had, she’d have deserved Mom of the Year title. Well, she does anyway so […]
One of the best parts of early spring (and then all of summer) is that good ol’ ice cream truck rattlin’ down the block with its slightly grating (haha) sing-songy song that gets stuck in your head, the whirring condenser blowing like mad, the bright lights blazing like a slice of heaven has opened up, […]
Ahhh, Hot Fudge Pudding Cake. Man. Look, I know, this is not an earth-shattering brand new recipe by any means. Heck, my mom made this for us for as long as I can remember and that’s a mighty long time. You can find just as many versions of this online as you can, well, people. […]
I know, it’s probably pretty obvious by now that I’m going to lean towards dessert options that are, let’s say, full-on, all in, you-only-live-once. I’m not sure why I thought to try out this recipe one day. Likely because it just sounded delicious, and I’m all for delicious. That, and I probably had some Greek […]
I know. This seems silly. You can run right out to the store, pop a coupla’ bucks, run home and you’ve got yourself chocolate wafer cookies. But heh, but this is a baking blog, not a grocery store blog! And you have to understand, these cookies are killer. Holy bazoingas are they tasty. The cookie […]
As a kid, my mom didn’t buy us loads of sugary things. Which is fine, for sure, obviously. (Grown up perspective…) And quite honestly, I don’t remember incessantly pestering her for all things sugar either. Mmm, I mean, I did request but I’m sure I wasn’t a twit about it. Nope was acceptable and I […]
I’ve become obsessed with Mediterranean foods and recipes lately—mostly prompted by my failed attempts to make a good Italian/French loaf. I mean, the bread was fine, but it wasn’t great, so in my quest to learn how to make a truly great loaf, I’ve fallen into a Mediterranean rabbit hole and gotten stuck in traditional […]
Pucker up, pals! It’s Lemon Bar day! Pucker up further, these are easy peasy lemon haha squeezy and loaded, loaded I say, with happy lemony goodness. Honestly, I never thought it possible to find a good lemon bar. Or, I should rephrase — I had yet to find a truly tasty, truly lemony, not […]
