This post is NOT sponsored by Girl Scouts or their cookies... but I'm totally available. But seriously I just realized pie day is in, like, a few days and I didn't have a pie recipe to share here! Turns out I did—you can find some HERE—but I forgot. Too late. I already made this. So March 14th is National Pi Day (a.k.a. Pie Day) because of math or something. I'm not sure, but there's pie and that's what I'm interested in. And I love grasshopper pie, that chocolatey and ... continue reading...
Bitter Orange Chocolate Mousse (for one)
Do you know how exciting the whole "mug cookie" thing was for me? Odds are that if you're here we had a similar reaction to it. Like, I can basically have a cookie-cake hybrid whenever I want? Get the person that finally made this part of our reality a Pulitzer or something. Well, I've got another single serving dessert for you. It's my Bitter Orange Chocolate Mousse... for one. Granted, this doesn't have the same almost instant gratification that a mug cookie does—you ... continue reading...
Seville Orange Margarita
After a brief hiatus I’m back and I brought a pretty good recipe with me. It’s no secret that I love National Margarita Day—just take a look back—but I’ve always thought it was a little weird that it was in the middle of winter. I rationalize it that it’s because what we crave in the dead of subzero temps we crave that warm summer feeling, and what better way to get that than from a margarita? I mean, it makes sense; an ice-cold margarita, both exotically warming and ... continue reading...
Thanksgiving Trifle
Where do I even begin with this? Alright, Pumpkin Spice People—I've got another recipe to add to your arsenal of ways to get your pumpkin spice fix (please refer to exhibit P here). This one is for you (and at least 8 - 9 others). I love pumpkin pie, don't get me wrong, but I it can get a little ho-hum. Even a really good homemade pumpkin pie—I'm going to be that person and say that, no, you're wrong, that Big Box Store pumpkin pie is not the best around—can leave you with empty, ... continue reading...
Butternut Squash with Ras El Hanout
No secret—I'm shamelessly addicted to The Great British Bake Off (aka The Great British Baking Show). One season Kimberley Wilson made this fabulous phyllo pie, dough tinted with turmeric, and filled with bacon, chicken thighs, and butternut squash. That in and of itself may sound like enough but she then instructs to add in an incredibly aromatic spice mix called ras el hanout. I'm hopelessly obsessed with this recipe. She makes hers as a large ring in a savarin ... continue reading...
Bacon-Apple Crumble
Everyone loves apple crumble. Everyone loves bacon. This was a no-brainer. Growing up my mom used to make an apple crumble that was incredible. I wish I knew the recipe that she used (I suspect it was from an old Betty Crocker cook book we had, though it may have been on one of the recipe cards she kept in her grandmothers old wooden recipe card box... I wonder what happened to that). Nevertheless, it was something that signified fall for me and was the ultimate ... continue reading...
