It's Girl Scouts cookie contest time!! I'm cooking with cookies! I feel I have crossed a MAJOR milestone in my life. I had a box of Girl Scouts Samoas in my cupboard for a week and managed not to consume the entire thing. In my opinion, Samoas are the perfect food. Shortbready cookie, caramel, coconut… Continue reading Samoas S’more Rolls

Rainbow Happiness Six Layer Cake
We had the mother of all rainbow birthdays this weekend for my sweet six-year-old Madison. My house looked like a unicorn threw up all over. It was epic fun. A hyperactivity inducing, spectrum spectacular. Brightly colored craziness. We had a blast. The pièce de résistance of the party was a stunning six layer rainbow cake.… Continue reading Rainbow Happiness Six Layer Cake
Foggy Morning Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls
Fall is here! This morning I was treated to my favorite weather on earth. Fog. Wonderful, misty, curl up with a book in front of a fire fog. Chilly damp mystery novel fog. I love it. I think it's deep in my English blood to adore a nice foggy morning. Or so my Nanny tells… Continue reading Foggy Morning Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls
Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
In the past several weeks I made two monumentally bad choices. Probably more, but these two will probably haunt me the rest of my life. The first mistake was trying salt n' pepper pistachios for the first time. Please hold your judgement until you find out the other thing I've never had before. Pistachios pale… Continue reading Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
Sopapilla Cheesecake
Who would have thought that cinnamon sugar, puffy warm bread and cream cheese filling would blend together in a totally divine delicious way? I always think of cheesecake with fruit or chocolates, never did I think of combining it with flaky golden pastry and sweet cinnamon sugar. Mind. Blown. Mouth. Happy. I love sopapilla and… Continue reading Sopapilla Cheesecake
New York Cheesecake
My guiltiest of guilty pleasures is cheesecake. I find it completely irresistible. It is the one dessert I absolutely cannot say no to. There are lots of cheesecake recipes floating around on Bakerlady, but I've never posted the classic New York Cheesecake recipe I absolutely adore. It's from America's Test Kitchen, who I always turn… Continue reading New York Cheesecake
Birthday Cake Cookies
I discovered the most disturbing thing last weekend. There are people who (brace yourself...this is earth shattering news) don't like cake. Seriously? I thought my crazy husband was the only genetically deficient (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) one. But apparently, there are more of you out there. One of them is… Continue reading Birthday Cake Cookies
Nanny’s Banana Pudding
I have three indelible memories of my Nanny (my mom's mom) and cooking. The first two revolve around holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve I have always spent with my Mom's side of the family in my Nanny's home. Thanksgiving found my Nanny with a faded apron in the kitchen with the turkey and all the… Continue reading Nanny’s Banana Pudding
Avalanche Bars
I took my daughter back-to-school shopping last week. We had a grand old-time preparing for the big first day of school. It was all fun and games until I realized that new school clothes meant she was actually heading off to school. Gulp. She started Kindergarten yesterday. My baby. She even (gasp!) rode the bus!… Continue reading Avalanche Bars
Country Blueberry Monkey Bread
Monkey bread is the devil. I cannot resist it. I especially enjoy a new spin on it, like adding some kind of new flavor to the delicious combo of cinnamon sugar and buttery goodness. I can more readily call it breakfast if it includes fruit which makes this blueberry filled bread perfect for supporting my… Continue reading Country Blueberry Monkey Bread
