I tried making the Dirt Bombs from The Summer I Turned Pretty to see what the fuss was about. Turns out, they are pretty great!
Chicken Basil Stir Fry
Somehow, my basil plant that I acquired at Cub over a year ago is still thriving! I recently repotted it with some new soil, and it’s been going through a growth spurt. It has received a place of honor in my kitchen, right by the window, and I am quite proud of it. However, I…
S’mores Brownies
What did I say in my last post? It’s S’mores Summer! So I made some S’mores Brownies. Partly because my sister suggested the idea a few weeks ago, and partly because I had some leftover chocolate and graham crumb from the s’mores cake I made last week. I wasn’t about to let those ingredients go…
S’mores Cake
A few weeks ago, when I asked my siblings for a suggestion on what to bake next, my sister started rattling off about 7 ideas for s’mores flavored desserts. I ended up making some cookies, following her idea. And then when I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said “s’mores cake.” I…
Strawberry Lemon Pinwheels
In about two weeks, I’m going to have to go into full-on baking mode for a few days as I get my State Fair submissions ready. Since I locked in my ideas and registered, I’m in countdown mode. I feel like I’m not coming up with as many ideas, probably subconsciously I know I’m going…
Coffee Toffee Blondies
Sometimes I think of an idea, like Coffee Toffee Blondies, and I wonder how I haven’t come up with it before. Then I look back at the blog and see that I actually have come up with at least similar ideas. Oh well, it’s like having a “brilliant minds think alike” moment with… myself. And…
A Cake Fit for a Marathon (Chocolate Ovaltine Cake)
On Saturday, I celebrated my 26.2nd birthday the best way a runner can… by running a marathon!! There were no official races this weekend, so I did this by walking out my door and running 26.2 miles across Minneapolis. This included running around 5 different lakes, passing a few landmarks. My family took turns running…
Accidentally Oreos
These were meant to be “Chocolate Birthday Cake Sandwich Cookies,” but… I took a bite out of one, and I realized I just accidentally made gourmet Oreos. I thought using clear vanilla extract in the frosting would make it sort of like Milk Bar’s chocolate birthday cake flavor, but it actually just made it very…
Blueberries and Cream Scones
Wimbledon just finished on Sunday, and as is (somewhat inconsistent) tradition, I made scones and had strawberries and cream for the occasion! I was going to make these strawberries and cream scones to really double down on the theme, but the freeze dried strawberries I got were an off batch or something, and didn’t grind…
Corn Blueberry Coffee Cake
It’s always great to have family in town, but it’s especially nice when I need or want to bake. I’ve been meaning to work on my coffee cake entry for the State Fair, but making coffee cakes one after the other would really add up in the whole “cake for breakfast” department. So making one…
