Working full-time on Bake or Break, I so easily lose track of the days of the week. So, its no surprise that Memorial Day snuck up on me. It was nice to have Quinn home for a bonus day. We were prett...
As youve probably noticed, I adore the combination of salty and sweet. From cookies to brownies to cake, a little salt with your sweet just elevates some desserts to magical levels.
Ive never been a huge fan of pound cake. I like it just fine and definitely wouldnt turn down a slice. (Although, when given a choice, Ill go chocolate just about every time.) But, in the case of thi...
The weather here in NYC has been a bit on the damp side this week. All of these rainy days dont equate to much activity outside the apartment. There seemed to be no shortage of baking activity around...
As a big fan of all things brown sugar, I can really get behind a good blondie. These are a bit different from the traditional in that they are baked in muffin pans, much like cupcakes. Of course, do...
I confess that I dont often bake with whole wheat flour. I think thats due more to habit than taste. But, it can be a great substitute for traditional flour in many recipes, like this one. I am fairl...
Last weekend was perhaps the most beautiful couple of days Ive ever experienced in New York. The weather was perfect, and we were actually able to get out and enjoy it. Our very full slate for the we...
Have you ever found a cookie recipe that sounds so good that you decide on the spot not only to make them immediately, but to double the recipe? Thats the position I found myself in when I found this...
A few years ago, I made Snickerdoodles for the first time, overcoming my strange childhood aversion to them. Since then, however, I dont recall baking them another time. Thats certainly not due to an...
For longer than I can remember, Ive wanted to do a regular post about some of the lovely things I find around the internet universe as well as in this fabulous city. So, here I am, diving in and givi...
The brilliance of shortbread is its simplicity. Mix together some butter, flour, sugar, and youve got a lovely, tasty cookie. I like that kind of thinking, as you can see in recipes like this one. Or...
To me, dulce de leche is one of the great inventions of the food world. It takes the idea of caramel and moves it into the territory of the amazing. I havent done a lot of baking with it, but I think...
I dont deal well with failure. Quinn likes to say that I would have made a terrible scientist. I like things to work well the first time. When working on a recipe, sometimes you have to accept failur...
With Mothers Day approaching, I want to share one of my favorite recipes I used to bake with my mother and let you get to know her a little bit. For more Mothers Day baking ideas, click here. My moth...
As I stared at the bag of mini peanut butter cups on my counter, my brain was churning with different ideas for what I could bake with them. Having previously used them in cheesecakes, brownies, and ...
No one should be surprised to read that I love baking. But, more specifically, I love baking cookies. The uniformity of them appeals greatly to my inner organizer. It makes me endlessly happy to see ...
Hummingbird Cake is one of my favorite cakes. I dont make it often because its just too dangerous to have around. Theres something magical about that combination of bananas, pineapple, cinnamon, and ...
I have a green metal box full of my grandmothers hand-written recipes. When I need some baking inspiration, I love to look through it and see what jumps out at me. Recently, I came across one of her ...
New York seems to be having a seasonal identity crisis. We had a few days of spring-like temperatures, and then fell back into something resembling winter again. No matter the weather, this time of y...
How great is coffee cake? There arent that many cakes that can justifiably be eaten at any time of day. While we may not always need an excuse to eat cake for breakfast, its nice to do so with a tad ...
I very rarely make traditional chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes, I may even start out with the best of traditional intentions, but before Im finished mixing up the dough, Ive tossed in something ext...
Brown sugar is one of my favorite baking ingredients. Everything is way behind chocolate on that list, but brown sugar is pretty close to the top. Combine that with how much I like baking bars, and y...
My grandmothers kitchen always had a box of oatmeal cream pies. They were those store-bought kind with the thin, soft oatmeal cookies sandwiched around a sweet filling. I shudder to think how many of...
Of all the many, many versions of brownies Ive made in my baking life, I very rarely have used a chocolate-fruit combination. Its not that I dislike the combination. Rather, the thought of nuts or ca...
Bundt cake and I are great friends. The pure genius of them is that you can make a beautiful, delicious cake without all the layers and frosting. I have had this recipe in my to-bake file for almost ...
Of all the things Ive made with Nutella, Ive somehow never combined it with another of my true loves - cheesecake. The fact that I have allowed that to happen is a terrible mistake on my part. Howeve...
I have always adored traditional German chocolate cake. My mother used to bake one for me for special occasions and for some ordinary days, too. Of course, the very best part is the frosting. Im not ...
Peanut butter cookies are one of my all-time favorite sweets. Ive made many versions from unadorned to full of add-ins. As long as the flavor of the cookie is primarily peanut butter, Ill take it. Re...
Layered bars are not a new baking sensation. Theyve been around for ages. What I love about them is how easy they are to vary. Change up the crust or the filling or the topping, and youve got a new s...
View a printable recipe or more photos I don’t have the data to back it up, but I would venture to say that peanut butter and chocolate has to be one of the most popular flavor combinations out...
