Last week I was on the search for cinnamon rolls that could be prepared at night and baked in the morning. My search ended after a friend sent me the recipe for Alton Brown’s Overnight Cinnamon Rolls. I figured this recipe had to be fantastic as it was given many stellar reviews on the food …

I get bored with things VERY quickly and I have found myself getting bored with cupcakes. So, I decided to start branching out…attempting to create delicious cupcakes other than the usual chocolate, vanilla, etc. I used a delicious chocolate cake recipe that I originally posted here, but I topped these cupcakes with a White Chocolate …

I have made many banana bread recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. This recipe yields an absolutely delicious, moist muffin with a delectable crunchy crumb topping. I honestly think I have made this recipe well over twenty times. My co-workers actually bring me their brown bananas to make these for them. You …

I always thought I hated avocados, just like I think I hate raw tomatoes. However, on a recent trip to Whole Foods I discovered I love guacamole; therefore, my hatred of avocados is fabricated! Whole Foods is 40 minutes away from my house, so I decided to make my own. Here is what I came …

This week’s Baking: From My Home to Yours, or you can check out Ashlee’s blog, A Year in the Kitchen. After reading the P & Q on the TWD site, I thought I may have a problem with this recipe. A lot of comments stated that the batter was runny and the cooking time was …

The crab was steamed in a stock pan with one teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning and one tablespoon of salt added to the water.

I have been obsessed with frozen pina coladas in recent months, which in turn, has led me on the search for other coconutty deliciousness.

I decided to join Tuesdays with Dorie at the urging of Em, The Repressed Pastry Chef. I thought it would be interesting to see varying interpretations of a dessert all made from the same recipe. This week was my first time as an official Tuesdays with Dorie baker. The task was to create a Summer …

Yesterday I made mini desserts: three types of cheesecakes and brownie bites. I searched the internet for quite some time looking for a great brownie recipe. I decided on a recipe that claimed to yield a deep dish brownie because I really do not enjoy the thin variety. I think brownies, like chocolate chip cookies, …

When I think of summer desserts, S’mores immediately come to mind! However, I am lacking a fire pit, I despise camping and quite frankly, I am not the outdoorsy type. So, when I saw this recipe, it sounded like a great way to enjoy S’mores, sans covering myself in citronella and sunscreen. I found this …
