A few weeks ago Brian went out of town to go to a Daddy Diaper shower for a friend who was soon to have a baby (Baby Zachary made his appearance this last Tuesday!) Since I had the evening alone, after Rebecca went to bed, I decided to bake something...

I’m a huge bagel fanatic but it never occurred to me to make them myself until I started going through ideas for my 25 in ’09 list (which, incidentally, I’m still working on and welcome new ideas). I was so excited for this to be the first thing I cross...
This was the dessert I brought for dinner with friends a few weeks ago. It was VERY rich but absolutely wonderful. The recipe is from my dear friend Dana (and her fabulous recipe blog can be found at Freddie’s Favorite Foods) originally from Sharon Lebewohl’s Signature Flourless chocolate Cake I...

Ingredients: 2 cans refrigerated pizza dough (I used Pilsbury but I think next time it would be worthwhile to make my own crust)1 bag of shredded mozzarella cheese4 oz thin sliced pepperoni2 tsp Italian seasoning (combine oregano, basil, parsley, and garlic)1/4 cup olive oil3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheesepizza or marinara...
I made these a few weeks ago when we had dinner with some friends. She was in charge of the chili (which was amazing, by the way) and I was in charge of the bread and dessert. I don’t think I gave the rolls enough time to rise (I started...
