A few weeks ago I asked my almost-3 year old, Rebecca, what kind of cupcakes she wanted for her birthday party. She looked thoughtful for a moment then said “Keira [her friend at daycare] had white cake at her birthday party. I think I want chocolate peanut butter cupcakes”. I...
I have fond sherbert memories from childhood. What? Most people don’t have food memories? Oh honey, I do. I’ve always loved food (perhaps a bit too much? Hello, gym membership!) But the sherbert from my childhood was always that stuff that came for $2 in the little plastic container and was...
When I was growing up, my mom would often make cookies (She still does, in fact) and I have vivid memories of walking in the front door and smelling peanut butter cookies baking (odd, since she made chocolate chip considerably more often). More often than not, my mom would surprise...

Oh my. So chocolatey and delish. I made these blondie bars for a family gathering a few months ago and they were amazing. The only problem with them was that I was running late, so I asked Brian to melt the chocolate for the top and drizzle it on. Something...
My mom used to make these cookies often when I was growing up and I LOVED them, but since moving out on my own, I’ve misplaced and subsiquently forgotten about her recipe. When these cookies showed up a few times on food blogs in my Google reader I decided I...
