I was originally going to make a Pop-Tart ice cream, and at some point I might, but I decided that froyo would be the better choice because then I could eat it for breakfast. Frozen yogurt for breakfast? But isn't that a dessert. Yes and yes, but if you think about it, it could also be considered a breakfast since all of the ingredients I...

What is a "brizza" you may ask? It's a pizza using bread as a crust. While out exploring we decided to stop by a bakery we randomly found on Yelp near Griffith Park that got really good reviews. We were looking for a way to use our farm-fresh eggs from the farmer's market before they weren't so farm-fresh anymore. We thought we were going to...

Zucchini and berry season may be over for much of the country, but in Southern California the seasons aren't quite the same, so there are still some lingering around the farmer's markets. If you still have zucchini lying around or have some frozen, here is the time to bust them out. These muffins are a relatively healthy breakfast, and you can't...

The fastest route between Seattle and Los Angles is about 1200 miles and 16+ hours of drive time; however given this road trip is our summer vacation for the year, we wanted to slow things down and enjoy the drive by cruising the PCH. Why fly when there is gorgeous scenery to enjoy? A road trip down California's coast shows you just why so many...

These are the last dessert to be produced from my Bellevue kitchen— the place where this blog and my true love of cooking and baking began. I was just starting to bake when we left Houston, but given my free time once we moved, my passion really blossomed. So while I am excited to be living in a new place, I am also feeling nostalgic for...

After all of the cookie madness of the past few days here is some cookie dough love. The only thing possibly better than a cookie is cookie dough. Peanut butter cookies aren't my favorite, but I've already made regular chocolate chip cookie dough truffles, so I thought these would be a fun change, especially with a little white chocolate and...

I've professed my love for regular cookie cakes, but how much more exciting would a cookie stack be? Instead of making one large cookie, you make dozens of normal sized cookies and "glue" them together with icing. This was the big dessert I had planned out for our going away salmon bake party. I completely love the idea for this cake, but...

Tomorrow is the big reveal of the dessert featuring cookies, and today's post features chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. I always think of these cookies as the opposite of chocolate chip cookies. An inside-out chocolate chip cookie, you may say, since they have a dark base, light mix-in versus light base, dark mix-in. But really...

I'm honestly trying to place my fingers on what makes an M\&M cookie different than a chocolate chip cookie, and I can't quite do it. I'm not sure if it's actually in the dough or just in my head, but they are definitely distinctly different in my book, and it's not just in the mix-ins. I have always thought chocolate chip to be my favorite, but...

Today begins the first in a series of posts that documents the several day journey I took to make the dessert for our going away party. I'll give you hint as to what it was (in case you weren't there)— it involved cookies. Lots and lots of cookies! Stick around for the next 3 days to see how it all comes together! Instant pudding mix seems...
