I always get turned off by desserts with more than 4 words in their name. It gets complicated with so much stuff going on. Salted Caramel Brownies. DONE. I can make that. Oreo cheesecake? Yes please. Cherry-Vanilla-Almond Cupcakes. Thank god cupcake is one word, because I can make that. But bear with me (I just … Continue reading Brown Butter Frosted Rosemary Corn Cake

Salted Caramel Brownies, the easiest
Oddly enough, I don't love sweets. I was that child that came back after a night of trick-or-treating, flushed face with my pumpkin bag in hand, dumped out all my candy on to the living room floor, and just started at it. After about 3 minutes of staring in awe at my bounty, the fun … Continue reading Salted Caramel Brownies, the easiest
Chocolate-What-You-Got-Cookies
The clumsy cook indeed. Apparently the forgetful cook as well. I went hiking with a lovely group of ladies from school earlier today and forgot all the things in two different cars. Well, really just my glasses case and my phone. Sounds okay, yes? But NO. I was NOT okay. I was actually surprised at … Continue reading Chocolate-What-You-Got-Cookies
Torta di Rizo
If you break it down, it's just a rice tart. I know, it seems a bit weird to put rice in a tart shell, but it's great. It's like a sweet risotto in a pie. What else could you want? Oh yeah, nutella and plump raisins on top. In other news, we have all our … Continue reading Torta di Rizo
Raspberry Breakfast Bars
My perfect weekend usually involves a tasty dinner on Friday night. Saturday morning kind of early with coffee, a slow and tasty breakfast with the dog and the hubby, grocery shopping, reading a good book in a coffee shop, then walking the dog around our neighborhood. Lazy Sunday, more reading and coffee, some baking, some … Continue reading Raspberry Breakfast Bars
Spring Break + Avocado Cream Pie
March 12th - March 16th, Spring Break 2012. Now, you may think this will be another post about a week on the beach in Galveston...but you'd only be partially correct! This year, the stars aligned, and all of my family had time off at the same time. This seems easy to accomplish, but with my … Continue reading Spring Break + Avocado Cream Pie
Caramel Walnut Tart with Chocolate Glaze
Hello readers, I have a story to tell you...it's called, "How the Baker Got Her Groove Back" Once upon a time, there was a baker. She lived in a cute little house, with two cute little dogs, and a cute little husband. She would pitter patter around the kitchen in a cute little apron, adding … Continue reading Caramel Walnut Tart with Chocolate Glaze
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
There are so many things I could have blogged about in the past week: My thoughts on the birth control/insurance coverage dilemma How my awesome dinner par-tay went. It wasn't just a party, it was a par-TAY. My dear hubby waking up, remembering it was Valentine's Day (Mita-Tyler Love Day*infinity) and saying "Happy Valentines Day!" … Continue reading Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Favorites with an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cocoa Nib Cookie
I haven't posted since last year. It's 2012! January 2nd, 2012 to be specific [well, when I first started writing this it was January 2nd]. A day of birth for my mother, the day before I go to work for me, and just another day of break for my graduate-student husband. Ahh, life. I haven't … Continue reading Favorites with an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cocoa Nib Cookie
Chocolate Tart
It's December already. I feel like it was yesterday I was setting up my classroom for the beginning of the school year...preparing myself for a whole new set of students, a whole new set of stories, and feeling just slightly more ready than I was last year. It's an odd feeling to know that in … Continue reading Chocolate Tart
