One of my favorite stories is when I worked at Quiznos, age 17, and my boss who was from Bangladesh was asking me to grab some stuff from the back so we could refill the cooler case. “Could you grab me the bund-it cakes?” “The what?” “Bund-it. The bund-it cakes.” “Ray. It’s bundt. One word.”…
Tis the season for easy baking…. Fa la la la la… don’t bake at all. It’s true! You don’t need to bake these! You can even watch me make them, it was really easy, and you could start an assembly line of family to help you make them. Just make sure them hands is clean….
These are the ingredients to make the perfect little cookies… Not sorry about that reference. Or these babies. When you look at a typical sugar cookie coming into the holiday season, you imagine a crisp, yet soft, icing covered cookie. Probably decorated by your mom who was expecting you to help, or your overly eager…
The Happy Baker is easily one of my favorite recipe book finds. All of her recipes are non-chalantly related to her dating/home life, which adds a little bit of humor and solidarity to whatever you’re making. As much as I love the book, Yum Yum Squares is not one of my favorite names for a…
If there is one thing I should be WAY better at after having a baking blog for 5 years, it should be reading directions. Guess what THIS KID didn’t do. I find this recipe, peanut butter blossoms with only FOUR ingredients, and none of them are flour (gluten free score!) and I think to myself, how hard can this…
These tasty little cups of joy were really easy to make, I just wish they weren’t so farty looking. Watch the video tutorial I made and find out what I nicknamed them 😉 I had some hiccups in the video – but I think you can avoid them with the handy-dandy instructions I wrote up…
Recipe Time! Banana Bread – from Bisquick! Oh man, I never posted my banana bread recipe? I find that shocking. I know I’ve posted about muffins before, but no bread? I’m baffled. I make this all the time! Check out the video where I make this here! So I tend to buy bananas and then promptly…
So I’ve made Nutella cookies with a different recipe before, but I have to say that these via Averie Cooks are delicious and much more accessible – meaning I don’t have to buy a jello mix to throw into the cookies. Less weird ingredients, more happy baking! Check out the recipe below, and follow along with…
Recipe Time! Oreo Balls via Oreo! My method for rolling the balls? Two toothpicks. One to push it around in the chocolate & then stick it and pull it out, the other to help me get the first toothpick out and then cover up the hole. My method is not great. Also I didn’t decorate…
Somewhere between Chelsea and the Flatiron district (okay 18th St. between 5th and 6th) lies one of NYC’s treasures: City Bakery Hot Chocolate. My friends, this is not your average hot chocolate. This is like melted down gold topped with a marshmallow that could kick whipped cream into next century. Anyone remember when Starbucks had…
