As someone who was always told growing up that I acted “older,” and was “responsible for my age,” etc, I was always very skeptical of that whole “your prefrontal cortex is done developing at 25” thing. But then lo and behold, I turned 25, and around then it did feel like something clicked into place…
Key Lime Pie in a Jar
Key Lime Pie has always felt like something out of the realm of what I can bake… mainly because I don’t have access to key limes. I didn’t even realize they were a separate lime until I saw them in a grocery store about a decade ago. I’m not sure where I would buy them…
Almond Blueberry Poppyseed Cake
This cake is one that should have been on this blog several years ago! It’s a classic from my Mom’s family, that she grew up eating on special occasions. I frequently request it for my birthday, since it’s perfect for a May birthday. But it’s also perfect for an August birthday (or really, any time…
Peanut Butter Milk Bar Pie Bars
I’ve had the idea for these Peanut Butter Milk Bar Pie Bars written down for a while, ever since I was brainstorming ideas for State Fair bakes. This one could have fit in the “layered bars, no lemon” category, but I went with something else (which was also delicious). But I still wanted to make…
Entering the Minnesota State Fair Baked Products Competition: A Full Rundown
When I decided to entering the Minnesota State Fair Baked Products Competition, I naturally did as much Google research as I could to learn what to expect. Surprisingly, there is not much information on it on the internet. There’s the official fair pages, and entry instructions and requirements… but I had a lot more questions…
Brown Butter Miso Pasta
This brown butter miso pasta could not be more simple. And it could not be more delicious. Which is pretty much my favorite combination for any meal, but especially for comfort food. There’s comfort food, and then there’s comfort food that is so easy to make that having dinner ready in 10 minutes is part…
What to do with your leftover Sweet Martha’s Cookies
For those who don’t know, there’s an institution at the Minnesota State Fair called Sweet Martha’s Cookies. Sweet Martha dishes out chocolate chip cookies. By the bucket, literally. You can get a cup if you want… but the lines are long, and really, what’s the point of getting a cup of ten cookies when you…
Corn Cookies with Honey Buttermilk Frosting
As about 95% of this blog’s readers know, I spent Thursday and Friday of last week baking up a storm to prep my entries for the State Fair baked product competition! A full post (and video) is coming about that experience, but I accumulated a lot of content during the process, and editing a video…
