Yep, that’s me chillin with Ina Garten at NYC’s Fancy Food Show. We’re like totally BFF!
Actually, I may or may not have run up to her like a hysterical fan, babbled that I’ve seen every episode of every show she’s ever done and had Taste Tester snap this awkward photo. I also had brief (and […]

Aunt Joyce’s Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
June 13th, 2009
Who would have thought to add mayonnaise to a cake batter recipe?
My friend Carla once told me that she suspected the condiment would add great moisture to a cake. Feeling curious, I decided to test her theory. I also challenged myself to decorate a fancy two layer cake, as it had been a while since […]
Weekend Treats Sightings in NYC
April 13th, 2009
Just to give you an idea of what a few days in the life of a total sweets addict are like, here’s a list of all the baked goods I ate / ogled over the holiday weekend. Taste Tester’s family was in town and we wandered all over the city for various tourist activities, so […]
But What Does It Look Like?!
August 26th, 2008
Buying cookbooks (even though my shelf is completely packed full) is a vice of mine. I can’t help it. As long a book has an enticing name or a delicious looking photo on the cover (doesn’t that describe every cookbook?) I’m bound to at least investigate it.

Chocolate Wafer Sandwich Cookies with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Icing
June 5th, 2008
I don’t like to let icing go to waste. The other day when I made Susan Spicer’s Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, I had a little bit of leftover frosting. Oh, what is a girl to do?
What’s that you say? Check to make sure no one’s watching and lick the […]
Peanut Butter Cheese Cake Minis
May 18th, 2008
Did you ever think you’d be able to find any Paula Deen recipe that only had HALF of ONE stick of butter? Well, here’s a shocker, I found a DESSERT of hers that only has that little in it. Kinda crazy. Kinda freaks me out actually, but these sound great none the less and a […]
Everyday Food’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
April 30th, 2008
It’s been a few days since I’ve provided you with a tasty recipe, so here ya go!
Having only two subscriptions to cooking magazines is a self-imposed rule in order to prevent my apartment from being completely taken over with piles of magazines that I can’t bring myself to throw out. The two magazines I receive […]
Nutty Bars
March 9th, 2008
I’m on vacation at the moment and stopped in a convenience store off the road for a snack. They didn’t have much of a selection of fine dark chocolate bars… I know, what kind of truck stop was this?! But all was forgiven when I laid eyes on a Nutty Bar. [cue choir: ‘Aaaaahhhh’]
Let’s just […]
