I’m afraid of an odd handful of things, chief among them heights seen from skyscrapers (but not airplanes), frogs standing their ground in front of me on pathways, and being late and/or not finding a parking space at the airport while picking up my mother. Caramel sauce, therefore, seems an unlikely fear to have, considering […]
Living gluten-free means I’m healthier, not to mention happier, than when I ate gluten. But that doesn’t mean I don’t experience gluten-envy from time to time…like every time a post from my friend Averie’s blog, Averie Cooks, pops up on Feedly. This is a girl who can bake! And she’s no stranger to my favorite […]
Homemade chocolate ice cream is one of those things that seems like it should be challenging or take too much time when it fact it’s super easy and takes about 30 minutes (plus a few hours resting time). And nothing, and I mean nothing, brings in the raves like a bowl of homemade chocolate ice […]
Chocolate chips, rich brown sugar, nearly two sticks of butter…what’s not to love about my family’s Congo Bars? The gluten, of course. That’s why I’m so excited to share with you my latest experiment in the kitchen.
Mother’s Day is coming up and my mind instantly returns to memories of baking with my mom growing up. Back then, gluten didn’t bother me. Today, it’s another story. That’s why I’m so excited about these gluten-free chocolate chip blondies. They’re delicious, and gluten-free!
I have a weakness for chocolate (don’t we all?), little bites in the shape of chips or kisses or wrapped around peanut butter. But when it comes to cake, lemon is the flavor I seek.
I’m convinced I lack the gene responsible for allowing one to successfully beat egg whites into a frenzy. Today was the second time in as many months that I dutifully watched Julia Child whip egg whites into peaks. I refused to move my eyes for even a moment, barely allowing myself the right to blink […]
Take a bite, a bite of creamy peanut butter, disguised as a cookie bar. A bite that includes the subtle grit of brown sugar and the familiar crunch of an M&M. A bite for which closing your eyes and grinning might be an involuntary response.
When given the option between sweet and savory, I’ll inevitably select savory. Rosemary roasted almonds versus chocolate truffles? The almonds win nearly every time. With that in mind, there are very few baked goods recipes that I know by heart.
