Fudgy Oreo Cheesecake Brownies
When I first started sharing recipes here I didn’t know that it would begin “to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature”. Didn’t know you were going to get a little Hamlet with your brownies, did you? But it is so, so true. Because I’m not a “professional content creator” (meant more in the […]
Chocolate Biscoff Butter Bars
Apologies for the very small slice of bar in the photo. It was the last of the pan and, honestly, I feel lucky I got a shot of anything at all. These bars had a slow start in the house but once word got out I basically turned around and they were gone girl. The […]
Super Easy Nutella Sandwich Cookies
When we have Nutella in this house it generally has a very short lifespan unless I hide it high up at the back of a shelf or somewhere the boys would never look for it, like in the laundry room. This particular jar was bought to make Nutella ice cream as a Father’s Day treat […]
Pecan Pie Bars
You know how some things live in a family of other things? Like banana bread could also be banana muffins which could pretty easily be turned into banana pancakes. There is a flavor you want or an ingredient you’re going for but the end result could be any number of things. It’s like siblings – […]
Citrus Cake with Cream Filling
Cakes like this make me suspicious. The recipe sold itself as essentially a one step, one bowl cake plus icing. And it really is just that. Which is what makes me suspicious. Most of the time when you’re looking at a cake recipe the instructions are very specific about what goes in when and how […]
Easiest Banoffee Pie
I’m a sucker for other people’s favorite foods. When someone tells me how much they love something it piques my interest and I want to find out why. Banoffee pie is a perfect example. I was talking with a friend about easy desserts and she had nothing but praise for the simple, satisfying banoffee pie. […]
Rhubarb Dream Dessert
There’s no way around it. This dessert is beige. It really has very little going for it from an aesthetic point of view. It doesn’t even take advantage of the natural flare of the main ingredient. Rather than leaning on the ruby intensity of the rhubarb, it cooks down to a sweet, custardy interior with […]
Magic Dessert Bars
This is a version of some bars that were an absolute staple in my house growing up. My mom called them Hello Dolly bars, they are also known as 7 Layer Bars or Coconut Dream Bars. Believe me, a bar by any of these names would smell as sweet. They also go into the category […]
Jane’s Patisserie Bakewell Blondies
Until I moved to the UK I had never had a Bakewell anything. It occurred to me recently that I’m perhaps trying to make up for lost time. The specific combination of almond and raspberry jam filled a flavor hole in my life I didn’t even realize was there until the first time I had […]
Orange Cranberry Parsnip Cake
The real title of this recipe should be Orange Cranberry Parsnip Cake with Honey Syrup and Cream Cheese Frosting but that is too long. Really it’s kind of a carrot cake with the carrots swapped out for parsnips and the raisins swapped out for dried cranberries. I added the honey syrup because it is a […]
