I wish I had a fun anecdote or something clever to say about these cupcakes. But I don’t. But really? Do these cupcakes need an amusing quip? I mean, they are CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA cupcakes. But these are seriously, ridiculously easy. Start with your favorite peanut butter cake recipe. Don’t have one? You can [...]

So to be perfectly honest, before two weeks ago I had never heard of MOPS. I mean, I’ve heard of mops. But not MOPS. Aside from being a fun wet-based cleaning chore (the best chores are the ones with liquids: windexing, dishes, mopping, etc), MOPS is Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers. And it turns out, here in [...]

This cake is seriously amazing. I have been anticipating making this cake for oh, seven or eight years. That’s right, YEARS. I first had this cake when visiting the Medoways. The Darster made it for some occasion, perhaps a birthday, a graduation, or maybe a Saturday, but regardless this cake left an impression on me. [...]

Oops, I think you’re supposed to post these things before the holiday, but as we all know, I’m not always the most prompt blogger out there. Anyways…chocolate stout cupcakes. While I do appreciate celebrating my rich Irish heritage (I’m from Boston. Does that count?), the actual motivation for making these cupcakes was the fact [...]

I’ve made it through my first week as a vegetarian. And I only ate cereal for dinner like twice last week. On Wednesday Andrew made me this awesome spinach quiche. According to him, it took a bit longer to firm up than the directions said, but he also substituted an egg for a 1/4 cup [...]

Oh hey! Have a good Christmas? Do anything exciting over the holiday? See a good movie and eat some Chinese food? I did all of those things. Except eat Chinese food. I did eat Beef Wellington though. It was my first Beef Wellington experience and has confirmed my suspicions that the basis of British food [...]

I’ve been on an almond roasting binge lately. It’s so easy and the results are spectacular. This past weekend Betsy and I hosted our Second Annual Hanukkah Party (yes, I know Hanukkah ended already, but it was a mutually convenient time) and while the party featured doughnuts, sweet potato latkes, regular potato latkes, and zucchini [...]

Umm…apples + sugar + candy = greatest thing ever. I wonder how many times I’ve called something the greatest thing ever? Anyways, I made these caramel apples for Jen’s birthday a couple of weeks ago. Hi Jen! Last year we outdid ourselves with a ridiculous scavenger hunt birthday evening around the city. It included video [...]

It’s the first day of fall! You wouldn’t know it by the sweaty, vice grip summer has on us here in Maryland. It’s measuring in at healthy 90º today. What the heck?! It’s September 23rd – time to put away the shorts and bring on the sweaters. As I may have mentioned before, I really [...]

Blueberry what? Blueberry who? Blueberry how? I feel like there have been a lot of blueberries in my life lately. I’m not entirely sure where they have been going, but my blueberry consumption is definitely up this year. I’ve made a few batches of blueberry ice cream, but none of them have really been blog [...]
