YAY! I made these sunflower cupcakes because I saw it on Katie's blog. Ugh. I wish I could take the credit for these cutie cuppy cakes, but my guilt complex prevents me from doing so! Haha, this one looks like a freaky Van Gogh sunflower. Eh well...it was my first try! I made these for my last day...
Sticky Toffee Pudding I love the Sticky Toffee Pudding ice cream that Haagen Daaz makes -- enough to make me want to make the real thing myself. But what recipe to use? In my searches I came across these four, one of which I will make one day ... haven't decided which yet though. Recipe #1: Sticky...
Okay, so I really shouldn't have. We were both craving dessert, and I couldn't help but remember the Gorgeous wheat pudding recipe the folks at my favorite food blog had posted recently. Wheat flour pudding, aka aate ka halwa, was a Sunday breakfast staple in our house. Pretty much every household...
Ok, here's why I love making crostata: 1) It's tasty 2) It's easy to make 3) It's my most successful "from scratch" baked good I ever made (yes this includes cookies) 4) Just saying "crrrrrostata" makes me feel worldly 5) It tastes kind of breakfast-y so I don't feel guilty eating it for breakfast!...
Hi, remember me? I used to write a blog about recipes and torturing my husband, back in aught-seven? Well this year has been a tiring year, with working late, gestating a baby (due in a few weeks!) and many many meals prepared by Jon and not as many by me. On the upside, Jon has perfected his pasta...

The rumor goes that the first President of the United States chopped down a cherry tree when he was a child, so it only makes sense to me that cherry desserts belong at the July 4th table. -- My mother will probably think I'm insane, but I'm pretty sure she'll enjoy the result. Fresh Cherry...

I made bleuberrie moofins (okay, I’m just poking fun– but blueberry muffins ARE fun, right?) a few days ago. It was my first time making them, and I decided to make them healthier by using applesauce in place of much of the sugar. I also used vegetable oil instead of butter– I don’t know if...

For something a bit more elegant and something that is sure to impress, a Blueberry Semifreddo is definitely the perfect choice. A semifreddo literally translates to “half-frozen” and is a wonderful custard that can be made days in advance and the blueberry sauce that tops it takes literally...
