It’s Halloween! Among other, pumpkin-related things, we’re serving up these spooky sugar cookies tonight. They may not be perfectly decorated (I need a lot of practice piping Royal Icing!), but you know what? They taste awesome. I might even dare to say that they taste better than any other sugar cookies I’ve ever had. They’re [...]
Better than Carbonara Carbonara
Because I’ve always been a baker first, I’m a stick-to-a-recipe kinda gal when it comes to cooking. Thankfully, my husband is the exact opposite: he refuses to even look at a cookbook, and is always concocting the most unbelievably delicious dishes from various ingredient combinations. The Carbonara pictured above (taken with a crappy mobile phone [...]
Lemon Butter Cake
“Lemon Butter” is hands-down my favorite sauce for fish dishes- and, surprise surprise, it translates exceedingly well in a cake! From light-as-air loaves, to ones filled with poppyseed, I have a nice collection of lemon pound cake recipes. Here’s a particularly good one: Lemon Butter Cake Recipe 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking [...]
Best. Leeks. Ever.
Ah, leeks. I love how affordable, yet deliciously luxurious, they are. That’s right, I said luxurious- and if you don’t agree, you will once you’ve tried this recipe for Melted Leeks. There’s something about cooking these green and white stalks this way that makes them unbelievably rich, and perfect for many applications: spoon them on [...]
Rocking Apple Pie Filling
Isn’t that a pretty looking pie? Let me tell you, though, about that filling. For me, apple pie is all about the filling – and this is my favorite recipe yet. Because: It’s not runny, It’s not dry, It doesn’t contain flour or cornstarch, It tastes like apples (and not just cinnamon), and (perhaps most [...]
How to: Glossy Ganache Glaze
Oh, the many times I’ve posted about chocolate ganache! Certainly one of my favorite ways to have chocolate, and better than any “chocolate frosting” you could dream up (and easier to make as well!), I must make ganache at least once a week here at home. Today, though, I want to share a recipe for [...]

Well, bFeedMe is no exception- here are some delicious links to some of my favorite pumpkin recipes online.

Easy & Delicious American Buttercream
I’ve posted before about my favorite frosting, which is an Italian Meringue Buttercream, but today I want to talk about what is perhaps the easiest buttercream ever: sometimes called American Buttercream, it’s based on a fluffy mixture of butter and powdered sugar, and is particularly popular for cupcakes. Yeah, I said cupcakes… mmm. The problem [...]
Blair Waldorf Salad
So I’ve discovered the joys of watching Gossip Girl. I know, I know- it’s high school. How can I even relate to these Upper East Side kids? I don’t know- but I do know how crazily addicting this show is. My favorite character, naturally, is Blair Waldorf- and today’s recipe is in honor of her. [...]
