Everybody, I'd like you to meet the perfect chocolate cookie. Perfect chocolate cookie, meet everyone. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Dustin has been begging me to make brown butter chocolate chip cookies again, but I haven't because I want to try new things. He changed his tune after tasting these. I think this...

What's better than a quiet evening, sitting on the couch watching a fun movie with your family and eating popcorn? All of that except make the popcorn caramel corn. But instead of going through the process of making my own caramel syrup, I used the jar of fleur de sel caramel sauce from Trader Joe's we had sitting in the fridge, thus making...

Yes, I know Christmas and eggnog season have passed. The Christmas decorations are long packed away, but we did have a small carton of eggnog hiding at the back of our fridge that didn't expire until the end of January. There was no way I could throw that carton away, so we've been using it as coffee creamer. Just a dash of eggnog in coffee is...

I've had my eye on this "Healthy" Deep Dish Cookie Pie from Chocolate Covered Katie for awhile now, just waiting for an opportunity to bust this recipe out. Seattle potentially facing it's worst snowstorm in more than two decades? My first true experience with snow? Sounds like the perfect excuse to bake something warm and gooey to me. The oven...

I'm convinced the Texans victory last weekend was the result of the delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookies I baked. Naturally I had to make more for today's game. I'm not taking any chances. Maybe my cookies are the good luck charm the Texans need to take down the Ravens! For today's game festivities I decided to use the cinnamon M\&M we...

I think have found the secret to perfect chocolate chip cookies. Browned butter. Seriously. Both Dustin and I have proclaimed these cookies to be the best chocolate chip cookies we have ever tasted. Although maybe I should reserve judgment until I’ve tried the infamous New York Times' perfect chocolate chip cookies where you have to let the...

I have been wanting to make this forever but have been waiting for the perfect occasion. We wanted to have our own little holiday celebration together with Bonnie before we head back to Texas (and Santa Fe) to visit family, and doughnut bread pudding sounded like the perfect breakfast to serve on our faux-Christmas morning where we exchanged our...

What should you do when you have two cartons of unconsumed eggnog that was supposed to be served at your holiday, but you got so caught up decorating (and eating) cookies and playing Rock Band 2 until 2:30 in the morning that you forgot? You start baking like crazy with it. I spent a lot of time looking up fun eggnog recipes. I had been...

I think these are my favorite peanut butter cookies. They have a ton of peanut butter flavor, are really soft, and sweetened perfectly with maple syrup and no added refined sugars. I really like the addition of a fairly generous portion of course sea salt sprinkled on the tops because the saltiness goes so well with peanut butter. The cookies...

Tres leches is one of those desserts that I'd never think to make myself because it seems like it would be hard to get to that perfect level of moistness without the cake becoming soggy. Apparently it's really not that hard to do— you just have to make sure you get a lot of air bubbles for the absorption of the sweet milky topping. This...
