You guys. This nutella mousse is kind of amazeballs. I love it. And you will too. I’m guessing many of you are probably feeling exhausted from all the shopping, wrapping, traveling, and baking you’ve been doing. And you could probably use a little treat. And I bet it’d be even better if it only took…
DESSERT
Nutella Hot Chocolate
I hope everyone had a happy and delicious Thanksgiving. We ended up staying here in Boston and having an easy but tasty dinner for just the two of us (with this guy hovering for scraps). We love to host, but after three sets of friends and family visiting and staying at our place over a 5 week…
Salt Roasted Pears With Caramel Sauce
I’m sure it’s clear by now that I am a huge fan of snow and cold weather. So it should come as no surprise that I’m loving the recent winter weather. But I do kind of feel like I missed out on fall. October was so warm and now it’s suddenly 27 degrees and I’m…
Cider-Caramelized Apple Bundt Cake
Yikes, it has been a long time since I last posted! Except for the lack of baking and cooking, we had a great summer. The weather was actually fairly pleasant and we had a fun trip to Italy, France, and Spain. We saw some beautiful places, ate a lot of delicious food, and enjoyed a…
Chocolate + Peanut Butter + Butterscotch Bars
These bars are so good, just one bite can make even the worst day seem better. Lucky for me, I’ve been making these for the last 15-ish years. When I was in college, my housemate’s sister used to send her care packages filled with delicious baked goods. She was generous enough to share her goodies,…
Orange Creamsicle Float
Most people who know me know that I have a time of the year that I refer to as “baking season”. We don’t have central air in our place and I really can’t handle being hot, so only turning on the oven when it’s cool out makes perfect sense. Right? Well, I’m sad to report…
NUTELLA CHEESECAKE BARS
Work and life have turned out to be quite stressful lately and I have been seriously craving chocolate. That’s not terribly unusual for me, but it’s really been a bit of an obsession for the past few weeks. All day every day I have been constantly thinking about dessert. These decadent nutella cheesecake bars really…
WHISKEY CARAMEL SAUCE
It’s crazy to me now, but I used to think I hated caramel. For a long time, my only experience with caramel was the overly sweet caramel found in boxes of cheap chocolates, and I super duper hated it. I mean no offense to those who love that stuff, I certainly have my own guilty…
Elvis Fluffernutter Cupcakes
Wow. This cupcake is all sorts of amazing. It is a banana cupcake + whipped peanut butter filling + fluffy marshmallow frosting. It sounds like it might be either delicious or gross, and I’m here to tell you that it is 100% delicious. Seriously. Stephen celebrated his birthday last week and we had a fun…
Chocolate Stout Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting
Oh Hello. Are you looking for some chocolate-y goodness? Look no further than these super scrumptious cupcakes. People have been raving about chocolate stout cake/cupcakes forever, but I’ve steadfastly refused to try it. I am not what you would call a beer fan. If we’re being totally honest, I super duper hate beer. There’s something…
