Creamy Stuffed Strawberries
Whoever came up with the idea to stuff sweets into other sweets is a genius. I’m serious. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the prime example here; stuffing peanut butter inside chocolate. Pure awesomeness. Stuffed cupcakes were super popular this past year too. Jennifer over at Picky Palate is the stuffed cookie queen with her Oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip […]
Snickerdoodles and a Very Merry Christmas To All!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope everyone enjoys their holiday. My traditional “Jewish Christmas” is filled with movies and some kind of Asian cuisine, and I wouldn’t do it any differently. Whatever your Christmas traditions may be, cherish every last second of them and make the most of your day! Now for the another holiday recipe! Holidays […]
Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking: Night #7, Cranberry Greek Yogurt Coffee Cake
This week was so busy. Unfortunately, that means that I couldn’t get in any more baking than I had already done — so the last two nights of Hanukkah were missing their Eight Nights of Hanukkah posts. But let’s just pretend like this post happened on Friday, for night #7. I have made my share […]
Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking: Night #5, The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap
When I started food blogging, one of the very first things I remember reading about was the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. So many of the bloggers I follow posted their recipes that they used for the swap and talked about the cookies they got from other bloggers. I thought it sounded like such a […]
Fourth night of Hanukkah: COCO Cookies
There are a couple shelves in the grocery section of Target that are always full of random things on sale, like pudding mix for 89 cents. Can someone who loves to bake really say no to that? Definitely not. I love when I find good baking ingredients on sale, especially if they are something I […]
Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking, Night #3: Miracle Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
We’re three days into Hanukkah already! We all know the story we were taught in Sunday School about the miracle of the oil burning for eight days, so I figured it’d be appropriate to honor the “oil miracle” and use it in a recipe. Chocolate chip cookies using vegetable oil instead of butter — and […]
Eight Nights of Hanukkah Baking, Night #2: Triple Chocolate Oreo Cookies!
Happy second night of Hanukkah! Today, being the first official DAY of Hanukkah, the Kabbalah Centre is putting on a huge Hanukkah festival at Mizner Park. I’ll be there volunteering for a few hours. There’s a bounce house, rock wall, face painting, food, rides, astrology readings, and a candle lighting at sundown. It’s a pretty […]
Holiday Baking
I used to be the only baker at work. A few months ago, a new manager was hired and I could finally take a break! Not that I didn’t love baking for the office just about every week. It was nice to have someone there who shared my hobby. Amy started off with a bang […]
Dark Chocolate Cookie Dough Cups
Life has been super busy. So busy that I haven’t had time to even go food shopping in forever. So busy that I didn’t even realize that I haven’t gone food shopping in forever, until Sunday came and I wanted to bake something to bring to work on Monday. I always like to bake on […]
Dinner Party and Froyo Nutella Banana Cream Pie
In my opinion, spending time in the kitchen with people you love is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Cooking or baking together, or even cooking and baking for one another — either way, it’s a low-key, fun thing to do with friends and family. I love making food and desserts for […]
