Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes

I was going to tell you about peanut noodles today.  But then I made these cheesecakes yesterday and today is all gloomy and gray, so I thought maybe you’d like something to make that would warm up your kitchen and make your whole house smell 

Donut Cake

Donut Cake

Yesterday, I made a cake that supposedly tastes like donuts.  Even at the time, I realized that if I wanted something that tasted like a donut, maybe I should just make donuts.  As it turns out, this cake wasn’t quite as donutty (word? no? oh

   Hello, friends.  It’s been so long since I’ve posted… have you forgotten about me?  I’ve been  lost in a whirlwind of work-completing, house-packing, stuff-moving, house-unpacking, baby-growing, and more recently, baby-waiting, that I just haven’t been able to take the time to pull together something

So, how’s everyone doing with their New Year’s resolutions?  While I sincerely wish you all the best in your endeavours, I can’t say I commiserate.  I’ve resolved to no longer make New Year’s resolutions.  Because really, things that seem like such a great idea at

Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches with Blueberry Swirl

There’s no denying it now.  Summer is coming to a close.  My morning drive to work is slowed down by school buses, I have more ripe tomatoes than I know what to do with, and most of the time, I can turn off the a/c 

World Peace Cookies

World Peace Cookies

Hey, you there.  You like cookies?  You like chocolate?  Of course you do.  Who doesn’t? Well, ok, some people don’t. But even people who aren’t big “chocolate people” (ahem, me) or “cookie people” (me again) will be fairly smitten by this cookie.  Let me just
