Cinnamon Rolls

September 19, 2018

Breakfast in bed. Airports. Extended vacations at the lake house. Snow days. Christmas morning. These are some of the things that come to mind when I think about cinnamon rolls. They are the comfort food of all comfort food. A Cinnabon cinnamon roll is the greatest indulgence when you’re waiting at the airport. You can’t just walk by the store, smell the warm cinnamon and sweet icing, and not buy…

New York Style Cheesecake

September 12, 2018

Cheesecake and I have a love-hate relationship. It’s not that I don’t like to eat cheesecake, I love it, but I fail at baking it. Towards the end of Fatima’s pregnancy, she started to crave cheesecake. A few Magnolia Red Velvet Cheesecakes later, she still had her cravings. Even after our son was born, the cheesecake cravings remained. She was looking for a true New York Style Cheesecake. Fatima says the best…

Edible Cookie Dough

September 10, 2018

My favorite part about baking cookies is eating some of the cookie dough. Our friend, Stephanie, took us to a place called DŌ. It’s a shop dedicated to edible cookie dough. I fell in love. Since that visit, I haven’t had a chance to go back. Instead, I made my own edible cookie dough. Surfing Facebook one late night of trying to soothe Liam, I stumbled upon an edible cookie…

Carrot Cake

August 29, 2018

My mom’s favorite cake is carrot cake. With her birthday coming up, I thought I’d find a delicious recipe to try. Spoiler alert, it’s delicious. I was so hesitant to dive into a carrot cake recipe because it’s very easy to ruin. They can be too dense, too dry, too much carrots (ironic), and full of unwanted fruit. The worst one I had was filled with giant, juicy raisins. Yuck!…

Harry Potter Birthday Cake (From Hagrid)

July 31, 2018

Happy Birthday Harry Potter (and J.K. Rowling)! We recreated the birthday cake Hagrid gave Harry on his eleventh birthday in first feature film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This cake makes the perfect addition to any Harry Potter party you’re throwing today. So how did we make this Harry Potter Birthday Cake? Fatima and I love Harry Potter. When the books first came out, I remember going to Barnes and Noble…

Cookie Monster Cheesecake

July 25, 2018

This Cookie Monster Cheesecake was originally published on June 7, 2013. We updated the photos and made a few edits to the story below. “C” is for cookie! Cookie Monster is my favorite Sesame Street character. Maybe it’s my love for the color blue or the addiction to chocolate chip cookies, but we were destined to be best friends. I couldn’t tell you how many Cookie Monster stuffed animals I…

Strawberry Shortcake Icebox Cake

June 20, 2018

When we made our Ginger Spiced Icebox Cake over the holidays, we fell in love. I loved eating Icebox Cake as a kid. When we had a small stretch of nice weather a few weeks ago, I had a taste for another cake. So we made this Strawberry Shortcake Icebox Cake. Throughout my pregnancy, I had a taste for many things. However, the one thing I ate a lot of was…

Hummingbird Cake

This Hummingbird Cake post was originally published on May 14, 2012. It’s been updated and refreshed with new photo. This weekend, I attempted to make a Hummingbird Cake. It has pineapple, bananas, walnuts, and lots of sugar! I first had hummingbird cake from Magnolia at work. I fell in love. Since then, I’ve wanted to try to make one. So what better time to try, than for Mother’s Day! After making a fabulous…

Lemon Elderflower Cake

April 18, 2018

This is my favorite cake I’ve baked to date. Say that 5 times fast. The inspiration for this Lemon Elderflower Cake comes from across the pond. When KP (aka Kensington Palace) announced the cake for the Royal Wedding was going to be a Lemon Elderflower Cake, my mind went straight to a boozy, St. Germain cake. But then I remembered we already made St. Germain cupcakes! However, this cake needed…

Muddy Buddies

March 7, 2018

This post on Muddy Buddies was originally published in August 2012. Pictures and text have been updated. Basically we gave this post an overhaul. Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) have been around for what seems like forever. However I never had them nor heard of them until I worked as an Orientation Leader in college. In the weeks leading up to our first new student orientation, the Orientation Leaders (or known as…

Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies

February 11, 2018

This post on Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies was originally published on July 10, 2012. Photos have been updated and we are no longer referring to these using a derogatory adjective. These Oreo Cookie Dough Brownies are so delicious! They combine everything I love: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and Oreos. With the summer in full swing, I made this pick-me-up for my coworkers on Friday. So what makes this brownie so…

Fried Oreos

January 3, 2018

This post on Fried Oreos was originally published on September 18, 2012. Updates were made to photos, formatting, and text. Basically, it was completely rewritten. Happy New Year! This year, Fatima and I were planning to stay in. Thank goodness we chose to do that because it was so cold outside. We came back from our holiday in New Hampshire a little early so we could be back home before New Year’s…

Ginger Spiced Icebox Cake

December 20, 2017

Holy cannoli. When Fatima was explaining that she wanted to make an icebox cake, the look on my face was utter confusion. An icebox cake, what is that? Cookies and cool whip. Did I ever mention I don’t like cool whip? She said she wanted to make a ginger spiced icebox cake for the holidays. I said I didn’t like cool whip, right? There’s this amazing Gingerbread Cookie recipe we…

Pumpkin Muffins

October 18, 2017

By now, you’re more than familiar with my pumpkin obsession. When I was searching for the perfect pumpkin bread pan a few years ago, I found the most fall-tastic pan from Williams-Sonoma. Attached to this pan, was a delicious pumpkin bread recipe. So, I dug up the tag and turned that pumpkin bread recipe into pumpkin muffins. All too often, I find a delicious bread recipe, wanting to make muffins.…

S’mores Camp Fire Treats

July 20, 2017

We had cereal and marshmallows left over from our Camp Fire Chex Mix and decided to make another treat! I didn’t know what else to do with the leftover marshmallows other than make Rice Krispie Treats. However, we only had Chex and Golden Grahams cereal. So, we pulled together a s’mores version of a Rice Krispie Treat. If you love s’mores and that Chex mix we made, then you’ll love these…

Grammy Pat’s Pistachio Cake

March 20, 2017

When I think about this pistachio cake, I immediately flashback to my childhood. My mom would make this cake for various family parties and for ‘just because’. This cake is delicious and so (heads up, I’m sorry) moist. What I didn’t know is that she was making a recipe that belonged to her mom, Grammy Pat. My grandmother was the first female foreman at Pratt & Whitney. I was very…
