Blueberry-Ginger Crunchy Clusters

July 21, 2011

If the posts on my blog are any indication I should be blueberried out by now.  But there are just some foods that I find it hard to tire of.  Unsurprisingly, cheese is one.  I’ve been known to gorge myself on a giant plate of fancy cheese (like umm… last night) only to crave a goey [...]

Compost Cookies

May 17, 2011

Despite the rainy and unforgiving weather here in Chicago, our contribution to the National Food Blogger Bake Sale to benefit Share our Strength was successful.  Over $1,000 was raised and 30 people (bloggers and non-bloggers) volunteered to make it happen.   (I’m including links for the other bloggers that came in case you want to [...]

S’mores Granola Bars

April 11, 2011

This month I sent off a care package again for Baking Gals as part of Team Fire & Icing.  If you like to bake and haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend you do.  Essentially, the group sends care packages to soldiers stationed overseas or recovering from injuries back at home.  I love it [...]

Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding

April 4, 2011

I must confess that before my Banana Tea Cake was out of the oven I already had plans of how to use the leftovers.  Yes, I chose the recipe knowing full well that I planned on morphing it into something even more delicious than its original form.  That eventual plan was the bread pudding I [...]

Banana Split Biscotti

March 17, 2011

It was the summer of 1998. Bill Clinton was in the White House in the midst of his now notorious scandal, Apple had just released its original “Bondi Blue” iMac G3 and as for me, I was an awkward 15-year-old. That summer brought a much needed intermission from my life as student at a Catholic high school. [...]

Chocolate Walnut Bread Pudding and Random, Random Thoughts

February 28, 2011

Chocolate Stout Ice Cream

February 21, 2011

There’s a common strategy in the cooking world that if you want to introduce someone to something new - especially if it’s a food they think they don’t like – you should pair it with a favorite food.  That means putting ew-inducing vegetables on pizza or trying out a new spice blend, say Garam Masala, on french [...]

Cherry Cordial M&M Cookies

January 5, 2011

Like many women, I’m a sucker for a good bargain, so the day after Christmas I set out with my mother and sister in pursuit of good deals. At 30-50% off I couldn’t resist nabbing ornaments, holiday packaging for homemade goodies (including some adorable treat bags and boxes) and wrapping paper. I’m definitely guilty of [...]
