My family knows that I’ve got a lot of rants about Los Angeles, and they’ve heard a lot of them and the stories I have. I came up with the idea to write a series of essays about the realities living in LA as a just-out-of-college person while I was still living there. And when…
Coffee Chocolate Chip Cake with Pistachio Filling and Brown Butter Frosting
This past Saturday, my siblings and I attended the “Cake Picnic” here in Minneapolis in honor of Betty Crocker’s 104th birthday. (Betty Crocker the brand, not a real person.) A video of that experience can be seen here, but I also figured it deserved a post! And I wanted to share the recipe for my…
PB&J Layer Cake (Brown Butter Cake, Cherry Compote, Cinnamon Crumb, and Peanut Butter Frosting)
My brother is turning THIRTY this Monday, so we’ve been celebrating all weekend. That means making a cake for us to enjoy the whole weekend. My brother’s golden birthday cake last year was a pretty spectacular cake, so the bar was set high this year. His only request was “PB&J,” but I was able to…
Dairy Free Snickerdoodle Ice Cream
My brother has recently switched to eating dairy-free ice cream. I can’t blame him, because when you don’t eat dairy regularly it can really mess with your system when you do have it. But the good news is that dairy free ice cream has made some major strides in recent years! There’s a lot of…
Chocolate Cookies with Caramelized White Chocolate
I was going to be done talking about the State Fair for a while, because it was all I was talking about for a while. But, I gave out boxes of my leftover treats to a number of family and family friends, and I got a request for a recipe for one of them! These…
Ditalini Pasta with Calabrian Peppers
I’m back with more ditalini. It may be my new favorite kind of pasta. I know I’ve only really made one box worth of it, but it’s pretty delicious. The perfect shape, the perfect sauce vehicle, so easy to cook in a sauce. The world of pasta options can be overwhelming. I’m not sure what…
The Fluffiest Pancakes (From Savory Spoon Door County)
There was a cooking school in Door County, WI called Savory Spoon. I never went, but my parents did. And when I was a kid, my mom found this pancake recipe, and we went through a phase where we made these pancakes a bunch. It’s the recipe where my mom had to teach me what…
Ditalini Pasta with Pistachio Pesto
I am a connoisseur of pesto pasta. It is an old standby. Reliable. I always have the ingredients for pesto pasta on hand, and it can be dinner in a pinch. But for all its reliability, it can really have a range. And the kind of pesto pasta I throw together when there’s no other…
Reese’s Oreo Cookies
I’ve made a grand total of $50 from this blog in the past 12-13 years. But I will treat it like it’s my job when there’s a new grocery store dessert product released. It’s my professional duty to try them and see if they can be baked with. In this case: the Reese’s and Oreo…
Brown Butter Rye Banana Muffins (Using only one banana!)
I went on a rye kick a few months ago, and now I’m resuming it! It started with some other rye banana bread, but I really liked these Brown Butter Rye Scones, so I decided to do… Brown Butter Rye Banana Muffins. Also, Molly has made banana bread a few times recently with her daughter,…
