I am moderately embarrassed by both how long it has taken me to post anything and also by how long it has taken me to post the recipe for these one bowl brownies. This is absolutely my go-to brownie recipe, and I’ve made them at least two dozen times without managing to take pictures or bother to post them here. High time for me to rectify that!

Many times in my life, I’ve been in friends’ kitchens, baking something together, and I’ll see them nonchalantly use the same measuring cup to add both the flour and the water to a batter… and a little voice inside me starts shouting, “No!!! You’re doing it wrong! How could you possibly use a dry ingredient cup to add a wet ingredient?! That’s wroooooooong!” And a part of me clenches up, feels a tiny bit of pain, and generally manages to keep my mouth shut. Because: It. Doesn’t. Matter.

In somewhat typical pigheaded fashion, I have continued to push forward in my bread-baking endeavors… without doing much of anything different. And somehow succeeded in not screwing it up completely the second time around! Continue reading “Escapades in Bread Baking, Part II: Perseverance”
I love cream pies. And I love dulce de leche. So, obviously, combining those two things seemed like a pretty stellar match up. I’ve actually made this pie a few times now, and the good news is that the recipe is fairly forgiving and really adaptable. Continue reading “Easy Dulce de Leche Cream Pie”
I can admit that as a person I’m often prone to biting off more than I can chew. Learning to run? I’ll run a marathon someday! Like going to college? Lemme go get a PhD! On a smaller scale, though, this manifests in things like what happened last week: want to learn to bake bread? Start with sourdough!

These awesome, power-packed breakfast muffins are made with almond flour/meal, oats, carrots, and zucchini — which means they’re gluten-free and healthy-ish without tasting like it. I’ve been making them for years, and instead of sharing the recipe piecemeal, it’s high time I posted it here. (I’ve put it off in part because, well, they’re a little homely). Continue reading “Easy Power-packed Breakfast Muffins (that happen to be gluten-free)”
I don’t usually throw around superlatives, but this is hands down the best chocolate cream pie I’ve ever made, and almost the best I’ve ever had (that honor goes to a lovely little bakery in Pittsburgh). But, this is by far the best homemade chocolate cream pie ever. All the people I’ve fed it to agree. Continue reading “The Best Dark Chocolate Cream Pie”
And now introducing something totally outside my normal baking wheelhouse! Continue reading “Thai Black Sticky Rice Pudding with Salted Coconut Cream and Taro Root”
I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since my last post. I also can’t believe I’ve been a digital nomad for more than a month. Finding time to bake anything has been hard, and finding time to post about it even harder. But it’s high time I shared this simple and surprisingly delicious no-bake treat with y’all! Continue reading “Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge (AKA egg-less cookie dough)”
Normally, I opt for chocolate mousse on fancy dinner menus. I’m a chocolate kinda gal, though I can appreciate a good vanilla from time to time. But this delicious concoction combines the best part of chocolate mousse (the chocolate, duh) with the ever-so-satisfying crunch of a crème brûlée. Plus, I got to play with my blow torch! Continue reading “Rich Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée”
