Browned-butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Friday. It was really, really rainy on Friday. Gray, dreary, cold. The perfect baking weather. I also happen to be in love with rainy days, so Friday was a gorgeous day. Not only was I enjoying the sound of the rain pattering onto the leaves of the trees, but the grayness also cast a beautiful…
Chocolate Freckle Shortbread Cookies
As I begin to write this post, I’m not really sure where I should actually begin. I wanted to tell you about my week, but it has a mix of happy and quite a lot of sad and I’m not sure where to start. I suppose I should just start a week ago from now,…

Healthier Chocolate & Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats
Earlier this year I had said I was going to try to aim for less sugary things to post about on my blog. I’ve sort of stuck to that resolution, but obviously I’ve had some setbacks! Since posting those all-kinds-of-awesome raspberry coffee brownies last week, I knew I had to finish this week off with…
White Chocolate & Hazelnut Panna Cotta
I recently discovered my old diary from 1992-1994. I was in 8th grade around that time. As I read through every entry, I was blown away; I couldn’t believe I wrote the things I did! Most of the writing was about all the boys I thought were cute, or which of my friends didn’t like…
