But these are seriously, ridiculously easy. Start with your favorite peanut butter cake recipe. Don’t have one? You can [...]

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.

Melissa, Elise, and I all lived together senior year of college and while our apartment lacked 36 packs of Bud Light and rows of shot glasses, we did have a pasta maker and panini press.

I have a dirty little secret. Sometimes I use box mixes. Yes, that’s right. Box mixes. Sometimes they come in a pouch, but the gist is the same. Add some oil, some water, a few eggs, and pop those suckers in the oven. In 20 minutes you have delicious smells wafting through your kitchen and [...]

I make this trifle a lot. Like pretty much everytime I make a carved cake. Because, what do you do with all the scraps when you do this: See that plastic container in the upper right corner? That’s right. Cake scraps. Lots and lots of cake scraps. And I can only think of a couple [...]
