Candy Corn Oreo Blondies

Candy Corn Oreo Blondies
I don't even like candy corn, but I'm a sucker for any limited edition holiday products, which is what prompted this impulse buy walking through City Target. I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I knew I would bake something extra delicious. I don't think these Oreos taste like candy corn, and neither does Dustin. However, they do...

Mint Pea Pesto Gnocchi

Mint Pea Pesto Gnocchi
Dustin has previously shown you what he eats as a bachelor when I'm out of town. I figured it was my turn to show you what I've been eating while he was out of town (which will be happening significantly more with his new job). Contrary to what it might seem on here, I do actually eat real meals when he is gone (even if what I really want to eat...

Bacon Stuffed Waffles

Bacon Stuffed Waffles
A few weeks ago, I told you Dustin was mad that I chose to order my waffles at The Tasting Kitchen sans bacon in the middle. So for football brunch, I remedied the lack of bacon stuffed waffles in our lives. Rich buttermilk waffles taste absolutely delicious with chunks of crispy, smoky bacon in the middle covered in maple syrup. These waffles...

The Hart and the Hunter

The Hart and the Hunter
On our way from Seattle to LA, we stopped at Pine State Biscuit in Portland and proclaimed ourselves to have eaten the best biscuits we have ever tasted. Well the biscuits at The Hart and the Hunter, a Southern-inspired restaurant at the Palihotel on Melrose, definitely give Pine State a run for their money. Who would have thought the best...

Bouchon Bâtards

Bouchon Bâtards
We made bâtards to eat with our fancy fondue, AKA the closest thing you can make to a baguette in your home oven (because of the size). To be a true baguette, it must be of a certain length, but it tastes exactly the same because it's the same master dough recipe. I apologize if I accidentally switch between the two terms as a result, but in my...

Gorgonzola Fondue

Gorgonzola Fondue
This is the fabulous dinner we had that I mentioned in yesterday's post. With fondue in the title, I'm guessing you can imagine why we wanted to eat a healthy, non-cheese filled lunch. When we drove down from Seattle to Los Angeles, we stopped for a day of wine tasting in northern California and picked up several bottles of wine to bring home...

Rosemary Ranch Chicken Pita Sandwiches

Rosemary Ranch Chicken Pita Sandwiches
We needed a simple and healthy lunch one Saturday afternoon to balance out the epic dinner we were planning for that evening (to be posted soon...you'll know it when you see it). I didn't want to do any cooking, but at the same time, I didn't want to do our normal quickie lunch of bread, cheese, and hummus, or chicken salad and crackers. I...

Cookie Butter Cookies

Cookie Butter Cookies
Continuing on the cookie binge of the past few days, I decided to make cookie butter cookies. They are basically like peanut butter cookies, but they are better because the recipe uses cookie butter. Yes, the sillyness of baking cookies using something made from crushed cookies was not lost on me when I decided to bake these. Cookie butter is...

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
I hadn't been planning on making chocolate chip pumpkin cookies, seeing as I had just made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. But I couldn't resist when I saw a recipe for chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from Sally's Baking Addiction. I've made pumpkin cookies before when I was a less experienced baker, and they were cake-y along with pretty...

Bouchon Croissants

Bouchon Croissants
When Dustin bought me the Bouchon Bakery cookbook we had no idea we'd be living so close to a real deal Bouchon Bakery. There's one located in Beverly Hills, and we definitely plan on eating there frequently. The bistro's steak frites (and probably everything else, however we wouldn't know since we've only ordered the steak frites) are also...
