Lemon Blueberry Bread

This lemon blueberry bread is perfect for Spring. It literally takes about 15 minutes to assemble and an hour to bake. Your home will smell amazing and then you will have a delicious tasy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course dessert. 

Croissant Cinnamon Rolls

This has to be the worst placement of Christmas, because we are barely getting any time off! My Christmas break is already over and I barely had any time to play with my toys! When aiming for optimum holiday time off, a Wednesday/Thursday Christmas is definitely ideal...

Peppermint Chocolate Cookies

​Sound of Music is on TV as I write this post currently, and I couldn't be more pleased. In high school my french teacher once legitimately kicked out a student from our classroom freshman year because he asked "What is Sound of Music?"  I couldn't agree more with her logic...

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

That's right. I'm about to get real basic here and break out the pumpkin fall recipes like every other girl living in the United States. True life, I have been obsessed with Fall since I was like five. Oh yah, I liked Fall way before it was cool (says every girl ever). ​

Chocolate and cinnamon babka

A famous episode of Seinfeld depicts Jerry and Elaine's struggle to find the perfect Chocolate Babka to bring to a dinner party.  When their beloved chocolate babka gets snatched away by another customer, they are left only with the lesser cinnamon babka.

STRAWBERRY & BLACKBERRY GALETTE

Does anyone know the difference? I think crostatta has some lattice going on, but in all honesty, who has time for that.  The most important part of this dessert is the fact that you can call it "rustic." You see, a long time ago, in the ancient cooking world, chefs learned that you can mask your faults by using this simple word...

Classic French brioche

My family wasn't and still isn't big breakfast eaters. Yes, unlike all the cool kids in school, I didn't get a chance to pick out the marshmallows from Lucky Charms.  I didn't get to burn myself removing a scalding hot pop tart from the toaster.

DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP PRETZEL COOKIES​

I always tell people I meet that I like cooking. "Oh can you make me funfetti cupcakes?"  No...I like cooking, not baking. Big difference. If you read my earlier posts you will learn that I'm attempting to become more comfortable opening up that oven and sticking food inside of it, instead of always cooking on top of it...
I'm getting a little worried about the dessert world.  A lot of the food blogs I read have been featuring a new trend. Shaved ice desserts. While that sounds refreshing, it doesn't sound quite...substantial. I've said multiple times that I'm not a big sweets person...

Brown butter Carrot cake

​My brother needed an extra player for his fantasy baseball league and I signed up for the job.  Now i'm not your typical girl. I do actually know a bit about baseball.  But my knowledge is limited to one team.  I live in Connecticut which is right smack in the middle of Red Sox Nation and Yankee territory.
