I have a problem, and if you’re a blog reader / recipe lover (I assume you are if you’re reading this), then you may be able to relate. My problem is this: I bookmark way too many recipes. Way more than I’ll probably ever be able to make, but I love browsing recipe sites and […]

Yes, that’s right: Waffle Toast. When I saw the name, I really thought it was a type-o. Then I mentioned it to Taste Tester and he said that it was something his mom made for him growing up. To quote the wordsmith Chris Griffin, “Whaaaaaaa?” I felt so out of the loop! I’d lived an […]

Okay people, it’s time: I simply have to profess my love for Nigella Lawson’s Nigella Express. It’s way overdue, but better late than never, right? So let me tell you, I LOVE this book. Taste Tester was kind enough to get it for me for no reason other than to fuel my crazy cookbook addiction. […]

It’s amazing how Boston is only a three hour drive away and yet I’ve only been there a few times in my life. Taste Tester and I visited this past weekend and had a great time. There are lots of fun things to do there like:
Thing #1: Walk the Freedom Trail and see some historic […]

I’m not sure this banana bread recipe quite deserves the title of ‘best ever’, but it’s real good and nice and moist. I used some pretty black bananas and replaced the pecans with raisins due to Taste Tester’s nut sensitivity. It wouldn’t be nice to poison him for breakfast… gotta at least wait til lunch […]

Taste Tester and I both celebrated birthdays last week, and you can be sure that there were plenty of desserts… and then more desserts, oh and then some MORE desserts, land some desserts after that. It was my kind of birthday!
SWEET AND SALTY
Early in the week, Taste Tester made these unbelievable Salted Fudge Brownies. They […]

Don’t be fooled by that picture - it looks small, but that cookie measures 4 inches across and 1 inch thick. That’s a whole lotta cookie!
Today is a very special day at The Chocolate Peanut Butter Gallery. I finally got to taste cookies from a bakery that I’ve been dreaming about for five years! FIVE! […]

Ladies and gentlemen, I realized something very unfortunate today. We are pretty well into summer and I have not yet had an ice cream sandwich! That’s just wrong!
The realization came while checking Martha Stewart’s Cookie of the Day page, where I found these awesome looking PB&J Pops. Now, I love PB&J but I love PB&C […]

Peanut Butter Bum Bar. Say that three times fast!
Yeah… I couldn’t do it either.
I picked up this Peanut Butter Bum Bar by Luminous Kitchen when we visited The Southport Grocery in Chicago. Its surface is bejeweled with chocolate chips, nuts and dried fruit, so I had high hopes for its flavor.

I’ve spoken many times before […]

I have been a fan of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt for a long time. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I survived my college years on a habitual diet of Odwalla Bars, Peanut Butter & Co Peanut Butters, Pepperidge Farm Soft-Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Stonyfield Farm Yogurt. So you can imagine my excitement when I […]
