Those of you who have followed my blog for a few years already know I’m a weirdo who doesn’t like chocolate. So, you could probably guess that I didn’t take that bite out of the brownie–thanks, mom! Although I didn’t taste these delectable treats, they received rave reviews from everyone that tried one. Considering these are called buckeye brownies, I had to take the opportunity to use an Ohio State backdrop. Go Bucks!!

the perfect combo. [caramel corn whoopie pies]
Posted in Baking, Dessert, tagged Caramel, Corn, Summer, Whoopie pies on September 8, 2014| 10 Comments »
Caramel corn whoopie pies…YUM, right?! My mom found this recipe in Cuisine at Home last year and every time we bring the whoopie pies to a party, they’re a hit. The fluffy, cornbread-esque cookie tastes even more incredible paired with the caramel filling. These are a must-make dessert, I promise!
I’m off to New York tomorrow for work and can’t wait to eat my way through the city. First stop? Shake Shack, of course!
my weakness. [soft & chewy snickerdoodles]

Cinnamon and sugar anything = my weakness. Remember these churro cupcakes? I could eat 10. The combo is just too delicious!
Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies, but for some reason, I’ve never posted them on my blog. These cookies have the perfect texture–chewy on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside, topped with gobs of cinnamon and sugar amazingness.
this must be heaven. [über moist banana bread]

I’ve become a tough critic when it comes to banana bread, but this recipe had me dancing on the ceiling. The bread is by far one of the best I’ve ever tasted–I can’t stop thinking and talking about it. Although more time-consuming than most banana bread recipes, it is way worth the effort. I could and would have eaten the entire loaf myself, but I figured it best to share!
product review – Chocoley. [fudgy toffee brownies drizzled w. white chocolate & homemade caramel]
Posted in Baking, Chocolate, Dessert, Dessert bars, tagged Brownies, Caramel, Chocoley, Fudge, Gourmet, White chocolate on June 6, 2014| 5 Comments »
Chocoley–an online provider of high quality chocolate ingredients–contacted me a few weeks ago, asking if I’d be interested in baking a dessert with the company’s gourmet chocolate. I decided to make these decadent and gooey toffee brownies topped with homemade caramel and a white chocolate drizzle. The Chocoley dark chocolate gives the brownies an incredibly rich and delicious flavor. I brought the brownies to my office and they were a huge hit!

Not being able to cook for the last couple of weeks has been torture! Now that I’m finally able to eat solid foods (well, soft foods), I decided to bake some banana bread with my over-ripe bananas. This banana bread recipe was delicious, but I have to admit that I prefer this recipe!

I never thought a cupcake could be so perfect until I stumbled across this recipe for churro cupakes. Yes, churro cupcakes. Say what?! These cupcakes taste exactly like the warm, chewy churros from Disneyland–but made even better with the addition of cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Please go make these asap!
sharing is caring. [chewy lemon sugar cookies]

I love lemon–especially when used in desserts. I was craving a lemon treat the other night, so I decided to make these lemon sugar cookies. The texture of the cookie was perfect–slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Of course the cookies were unbelievably addicting, so I shared them with friends and co-workers. That way, I didn’t eat the entire batch!

Hey, I made something with chocolate! This is a big step for me because well, I’m that weirdo who doesn’t like chocolate. Anyways, I made these cupcakes for my boss’ Christmas party and they were a huge hit. My co-worker said they tasted like peppermint bark in cupcake form.
These little guys are perfect to bring to any upcoming holiday party. :)
