This cake recipe, along with the Dulce de Leche Vanilla Bean Pound Cake recipe, was the base of my eldest son’s second birthday cake. That also makes them a couple of the earliest recipes on my site. Pound cakes stand up very well to the weight and engineering requirements...

Chocolate chip cookies are a classic for a reason – you can’t go wrong with a cookie that combines buttery dough, notes of caramel and a liberal studding of chocolate chips (or chunks, disks or wafers). For many people, chocolate chip cookies evoke memories of childhood and comfort, the...

When I most recently lost the database behind my site, I discovered that some of my recipes had not been saved anywhere else leaving me no choice but to try to recreate them. This single serving brownie recipe was one of the ones that was lost. I’m not certain...

These brownies originally appeared very shortly after the Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies. Just like the Peanut Butter Crunch brownies, the Almond Coconut Crunch brownies offer a classic flavor pairing (Almond Joy, anyone??) and a lovely juxtaposition of crunchy and fudgy textures.

This is another very early recipe from the first incarnation of this site, and another one that makes good use of extra pumpkin puree. As I’ve been working on restoring recipes to the site, I’ve been taking the opportunity to closely review each one. In that process, I realized...

I’m so excited – this is the first truly new recipe/post since relaunching the site! I had planned to get all of the older content re-posted before posting anything brand new, but how could I not post these cookies on Valentine’s day? These cookies are not necessarily anything surprising...

Pancakes are usually my go-to for weekend breakfasts. The batter comes together quickly, usually with ingredients I already have on hand, and they are pretty quick to cook as well. It is easy to make a large batch that will both satisfy the appetites of the moments and, as...

While I have had a basic pie crust recipe on every incarnation of this site, this actually is not the same one I originally posted. I’m going to tell you a little secret – I don’t *like* (most) pie crust – I much prefer the filling. As a result,...
