I’m always on the look out for new cookie recipes, or new takes on classic recipes. Often times I will take those recipes and make my own little tweaks and adjustments, as was the case with this toffee and coconut riff on chocolate chip cookies back in 2013 (another...

This cake recipe was one of two recipes I used to make my eldest son’s second birthday cake – the second was the Double Chocolate Chip Pound Cake. The two flavors together made up the base of the cake along with a salted toffee Swiss meringue buttercream. The dulce...

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...

Unfortunately, the Almond Joy pieces candy called for...

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...

As far as I’m concerned, caramel sauce is a kitchen staple. It is delicious and versatile, playing well with a broad range of flavors. It can be swapped in pretty much anywhere a syrup is called for, whether it is drizzled on top or baked right in. Many people...

This is another recipe from “before”. If you perused my site in one of its previous incarnations, you probably noticed that I have a bit of a weakness for brownies – from simple to over-the-top-extravagant, as long as they are dense, fudgy chocolate perfection,  I’m in love. These brownies...

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...
