My experience with the Twofer Pie this week can most accurately be summed up with this image: [For best results while viewing, imagine hearing that wah-waaaaah horn sound effect, or Nelson from The Simpsons laughing, "HA-ha!"] Yes, friends, this week was not a success. I’ll take some of the blame: I made several mini pies…
I’ll Have a Blue(berry) Christmas Pie, Without You…
Recently the food blogosphere has been swarming with wacky pies created for a monthly event called You Want Pies With That? Each month has a different theme, and the challenge is to create an original pie that somehow plays on that theme. I hardly ever make pies for myself, since I’m more of a cake…
TWD: If You’re Gonna Be My Rice Pudding, It Don’t Matter If You’re Black or White
My excitement over this week’s TWD recipe could be summed up by the sound of crickets chirping. I actually like rice pudding, but…you know, when I feel like indulging in dessert, I don’t know that rice should be involved. Gobs of frosting and pounds of chocolate? Yes. A grain typically served as a side dish…
Luscious Lemon Cream Tartelettes
Okay, all right, I do have a citrus obsession. I didn’t even realize it until I started this blog, and found that every other dessert I posted was lemon this and orange-chocolate that. But can you blame me? There is something so divine about the pairing of tart citrus flavors in desserts; the citrus brings…

Kugelhopf: German for “Frustratinghopf” Oh, my friends. I realize that most of you do not know me in real life. I like to think that I present the best image of myself on this blog, and that you all think of me as a lovely, happy-go-lucky, cheerful person. My friends, this is a lie. The…
Bargain Shopping
Why yes, there was a chocolate sale at the grocery store, why do you ask? [11 lbs of chocolate for $24.60 = $2.24/lb.] I think I might have temporarily cornered the chocolate market.
Buttermilk Cookies: No Pumpkin Required
Many moons ago, I saw a recipe for buttermilk cookies on Ezra Pound Cake. Rebecca made them look and sound like an amazing summer treat, and I added them to my ever-increasing To Bake list. A month or two later, I finally got around to making them. A few months after that, I’m finally getting…
Tuesdays with Dorie: Rugelach
So a few weeks ago I whined about how I hate making biscotti because I used to have to make it by the truckload. Someone, somewhere, heard my pathetic grumbling and decided to teach me a lesson by having rugelach be this week’s TWD recipe. You see, back in the day when I had to…
