Baked Sunday Mornings: Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars
Let me introduce you to PB&J living its best life. I ate my first peanut butter and jelly sandwich at age… 27. Seriously. For reals. I didn’t grow up eating it because my family immigrated to the U.S. when I was four years old from Israel, and it was not (still not so much) something […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Stout Milkshake
Sometimes you just need to bring the boys to the yard. You know, for milkshakes and all. Although BAKED specializes in baked goods (obviously), their first cookbook from ten years ago, BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, contains a chapter on drinks, and I usually skip these when we have them on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule because I don’t […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins
I’ve been staring at a blank screen for hours. I made muffins, and I don’t know what to say about them. I’ve been writing this blog for almost 7 years, and but the past year has been so inconsistent, and now I’m struggling to put down words. Hopefully I will work through this writer’s block… […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl
I’m crawling to the finish line. I’ve just completed a year of living and traveling abroad, which has been an amazing whirlwind adventure– there will be more writings about this in a bit. For the moment, I’m days away from moving into my new apartment! I’ve been living quite nomadically for several months now, and […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Pecan & Almond Chocolate Toffee
Happy Easter, peeps! (Get it? I’m sorry, that was terrible.) Many of us are snacking on egg-shaped treats, or marshmallow-y chicks, or carrot cake on this spring occasion, but for Baked Sunday Mornings, we made Pecan & Almond Chocolate Toffee from BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking, and I’m glad we did! In fact, it also works […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Chip Cookies
It’s not often that I say this, but… this week, baking made me sad. I take my chocolate chip cookies very seriously, and I want them to be a certain way. When they don’t turn out that way after several attempts, I get all cranky-pants. Thus was the situation this week with the Chocolate Chip Cookies from […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Peanut Butter Pie with Cookie Crust & Easy Fudge Sauce
I’ve said before that I’m pretty indifferent on the combination of chocolate and peanut butter; I like them each separately, but together they generally elicit a big ‘meh’ as far as I’m concerned. However, I was actually looking forward to making this Peanut Butter Pie with Cookie Crust & Easy Fudge Sauce for Baked Sunday […]
Cacio e Pepe Knishentashen
I know Purim is technically over. But my friends in Israel said that everyone is still celebrating through Saturday, so I decided that I’m going to keep blogging about hamantashen until it’s no longer socially acceptable. Except this post is a little different. I’ve always thought savory hamantashen would be super interesting, but it wasn’t […]
Salted Cacao Nib Brownie Hamantashen
It’s hard to believe how quickly this year between Purim holidays came and went. Last spring, I was frantically planning and packing for a huge move halfway across the planet. In the middle of all that came hamantashen season, as it always does at this time. The previous year, I had discovered the almond shortbread […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Upstate Cheesecake
It all started with cheesecake. Way back circa 2002, a young woman of, let’s say, 24, made a cheesecake that wasn’t half bad. And then another, and another. And then she tried cookies and cupcakes. And layer cakes! And macarons! And tarts! She fell in love with butter, sugar, and flour, and the magical things […]
