Wednesday Night Brownies
Have you ever had one of those days where you think it is almost the weekend, only for someone to tell you that we are only halfway there? (Rude!) Then you get home, rummage around for some kind of treat, and realize your fridge has nothing in it but… vegetables. Never fear, there is a…

Lemon Rosemary Cake
It’s a funny time of year. You might leave in the morning in flip flops, only to come home later in a snowstorm. I can’t help you with what to wear on days like this, but I can tell you that this cake has you covered no matter what you are facing. It is warm…

Maple Pecan Granola
I know what you are thinking – oh fun, homemade granola. Maybe next we can make our own cereal? Hear me out though. Storebought granola never really gets it right for me.

Spiced Sticky Toffee Pudding with Brown Butter Sauce
Some desserts never go out of style. Sticky toffee pudding is like the little black dress of desserts, if little black dresses were more fun. This dessert is warm, gooey, and unfussy. It can be made ahead, is impressive, and each person can decide how much sauce they want (all of it). Also, any leftover…

Invisible Apple Gingerbread Cake
There is an amazing, classic French cake called invisible apple cake. We will talk about that again soon, but for the moment, I crave ginger, cinnamon, and anything else that would have drawn Hansel and Gretel to the fateful gingerbread house in the woods. Enter the invisible apple gingerbread cake. It gives the hit of…

Easy Stir Fried Vegetables and Tofu
It has been oh-so-gently suggested to me that if someone were to read my blog, they might get the idea that I live on nothing but cookies and cakes. Let’s pretend they are wrong and talk about vegetables for a minute. At the ripe old age of [redacted], I have come to accept that vegetables…
