After buying an entire box of Rice Krispies cereal to use 1/2 cup for making granola bars, I had plenty of leftovers, so what's a girl to do? Make Rice Krispy Treats, of course. But not just any plain ol' Rice Krispy Treats— Birthday Rice Krispy Treats— even though it isn't anybody's birthday! I"m pretty sure everyone and their mom has been...

Today is our blog's birthday! One year ago today we started chronicling all of the recipes we try. We've become significantly more adventurous and our cooking skills have greatly improved. A couple of years ago, there was no way I would have ever felt this confident in the kitchen, but with lots of practice and lots of research, I'd like to...

Corn crème brûlée was a great success, so we figured it was time to pull out the torch again when Dustin's parents visited us and make a traditional, sweet vanilla crème brûlée— a restaurant dessert menu staple. Here is the recipe I used as the base for an incredibly basic and super easy crème brûlée. All you have to do is whisk two cups of...

I'm not going to lie. Ever since I bought The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook, I've been itching to make nearly every single recipe. But this recipe really stood out to me. The one I knew I had to try first. I've just been waiting for the right time. And the time is now. Chocolate chip cookie dough sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies. Oh...

Mint chocolate chip is Dustin's favorite ice cream flavor, so it's something I've had on my to-make list ever since we procured our very own ice cream maker. I finally got around to making it and am very glad that I did. I toyed around with using fresh mint like I did with my mint chocolate chip cookies, but after some research I discovered...

I first made these cookies about a year ago before I began chronicling our recipe catalogue on wafoodie. Planning on making some sort of cookie at the last minute, I saw a stray orange in the fridge and knew I had all of the ingredients in my pantry to make these orange and vanilla cookies with flavors reminiscent of the ever popular Creamsicle...

During Dustin's cook off challenges awhile back, he might have you believe that the judges got the best end of the deal, implying that we just sat back and did nothing. However that was far from the case, as each and every time I made sure to supply a delicious dessert (mini cannoli cups and mint chocolate chip cookies to be specific) for each...

Recently our Whole Foods had a one day cherry sale of beautiful red cherries from right here in Washington state on sale for $1.99/lb, so we went and stocked up. Be prepared for lots and lots of recipes with cherry over the next few days. Other than perfect weather, the best part about summers up here might be the fresh cherries. This should...

In keeping with my recent tradition of adding bacon to desserts (example one and example two), now I have added it to ice cream, brown sugar vanilla ice cream to be specific. I saw this ice cream at a deli when visiting my parents in Evansville, but passed on ordering it to be a little healthier. However, the idea stuck in my head, so I made it...

Originally a recipe from Cooking Light, these brownies are rich, chocolatey with the slightest hint of bourbon, and they aren't that bad for you (compared to a regular brownie that is), and they also contain bourbon like yesterday's recipe. Even if you don't like bourbon, you can still enjoy these brownies because the bourbon flavor is pretty...
