Baked Sunday Mornings: Pink Peppermint Stick Ice Cream with Homemade Hot Fudge
I didn’t mean to make it Pepto Bismol pink. Apparently I have a heavy hand when it comes to food coloring– I wonder if someday I will learn to start with just a couple of drops, or am I doomed to a lifetime of electric/circus/princess-colored treats? Now I know that “Deep Pink” is, in fact, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Cinnamon Chipotle Sugar Cookies
I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area… I may have mentioned that one or two or 46 times before. There are few other American communities so rich in diversity– we have nearly every kind of people represented within an 80-mile or so radius, which means lots of food, holidays, rituals, and generally cool […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Milk Chocolate Malted Brownies with Chocolate Ganache
Brownies twice in a row for Baked Sunday Mornings— I can definitely embrace this lifestyle. Two weeks ago, we made Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Brownies, which I unexpectedly struggled with a bit. I felt like my brownie skillz were shaky all of a sudden, and if there’s one thing I’ve felt pretty comfortable with, it’s BAKED […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Chocolate Brownies
Houston, we have a problem. If there’s one thing I’ve been able to count on, almost without fail, over the past number of years, it’s BAKED‘s brownie recipe. That recipe has been my go-to again and again since, what, 2009? Deep in my heart, I know that I will never have any need in my […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Mini Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes
I live by the school year calendar. I lived by the school year calendar since preschool, almost continuously except for one semester after finishing college while working in the tech consulting world (*shudder*) and not taking any classes. Aside from that brief period, I have always been in school in some capacity, whether full-time or […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie
Summer weekends are for eating frozen things, preferably involving chocolate. And if those frozen chocolate things happen to be slathered in fudge and whipped cream, ALL THE BETTER. Our last recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings was in honor of National Dog Day; this week we are celebrating Grandparents’ Day with Frozen Swiss Chocolate Pie from […]
School’s Out for Summer: Halfway Cookie Bars
This is a shoutout to all the teachers and educators who just finished another school year a couple of weeks ago– summer vacation is in full swing! CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH. In my non-baking life, I’m a high school counselor, and I am one among many rejoicing in the splendid days of summer’s freedom. […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Nanaimo Ice Cream Bars
Oh, America. We really need to get out more. Just beyond the northern border is a wide, wonderful world called CANADA, and they make excellent desserts too. I think it’s safe to say that Americans know about maple syrup and things that you can make from maple syrup, but one thing I definitely *didn’t* know […]
Coconut Double-Dip: Raspberry-Vanilla & Dark Chocolate Macaroons
Are you mindlessly gnawing on your umpteenth Manischewitz coconut macaroon during this Passover week? It’s okay– we’ve all been there. Take a breath and slowly put down the can. You can and will get through this, and you’ll see that very soon you’ll be in a better place: making your own macaroons. Maybe you’ve been in that […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Hippie Cake
In the world of chocolate cake, there are those that make you want to weep tears of joy and ecstasy, and others that try really hard, but lack something in flavor or texture. This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe for Hippie Cake from Baked Occasions fell into the latter category for me. This vegan chocolate cake was created […]
