There are not many things we love more than our Thanksgiving pies — other than a slice of fabulous cake. Something about Thanksgiving always feels a little less structured with mountains of p...
As we mentioned yesterday, apples are at their peak right now! And, depending on where you are in the country, the same goes for pears, quince, and even some late stone fruit. So stock up on fruit now...
Are you craving pumpkin pie yet? We love pumpkin pie (especially when it's in a graham cracker crust) and so we're about to break out the pumpkin puree and the cinnamon. Here's a look back at five p...
There are just some things that were made to be together. Peanut butter and jelly, tomatoes and basil and best of all, caramels and bacon. There was a caramel bacon fad a year ago, but we wanted to...
There comes a time in everyone's life when you're standing in the kitchen at 2am (pants optional) testing recipes. The quickly approaching morning sun seems irrelevant when you're busy creating the s...
We know what you're thinking, because we thought the same thing at first! Cheesecake in 2 minutes and made in the microwave?! It doesn't sound like a good idea, let alone delicious one. But our fe...
There's a convenience store in town that sells freshly baked brownie bites at their register. Now living in the midwest, grabbing a snack and a drink at a gas station is a daily occurrence for most...
We are so enamored of this sweet garnish that we just spotted at Pastry Pal, a lovely and helpful blog. These strawberry chips are easy and special; read on to see how they're made! ...
In accordance with last night's Top Chef Masters events, we thought we'd share a recipe from Mr. Rick Bayless himself. This is one of our favorites and unlike his 27-ingredient Oaxacan Mole, this re...
For some of us, it's a nice slice of pie. For others, maybe a wedge of cheese or a cup of coffee does the trick. Whatever that "little something" is, our meal doesn't quite feel complete until we've h...
For several months now we've had our eye on the Little Snowie. Although it's intended for commercial use, we want it bad enough that we've even considered registering for a booth at our local fair, ju...
Summer is in full swing and there's nothing we crave more than ice cream. So when we found ourselves with some uneaten figs and a little free time, we whipped up a batch of this extremely decadent ...
Q: I would like your suggestion for a chocolate recipe. I am entering a chocolate lovers' contest at our county fair this year and need some inspiration as I develop a chocolate recipe that will hold ...
In the spirit of this month's Escapes theme, the cheesemonger in me got to thinking: How do I escape with cheese? Just how and when does cheese have the ability to transport me to a different place? T...
Early watermelons are starting to appear at the markets, and I was excited to get my hands on one of my favorite fruits this past week. I wanted to serve it as a light, refreshing dessert at a mid-wee...
It's summer and we have better things to do than slave over decorating a cake for your next weekend get together or outdoor party. It's often easier to think about doing desserts that don't require ...
When we have dinner parties, we usually follow this plan: Drinks and appetizers around the coffee table, dinner at the dinner table, and then dessert back in the living room. My husband usually calls ...
For some reason, there are a ton of recipes out there for peaches and apricots. Muffins, ice cream, savory tarts, jam, crostata (to name a few). One reason we don't see a lot of nectarine recipes i...
Other than the fact that your favorite hunk of dark chocolate makes a perfectly delightful dessert all on its own, it can dress up other desserts or morph into something entirely new. We've got five g...
Here's a good question from Solvi: I have to bring a dessert or cake to a party. One of the guests is allergic to both eggs and flour (gluten), and I would love to bring something she can eat too. I f...
When my husband and I were in the early stages of dating, I was living in Minneapolis and he was living up in the cold, frozen city of Duluth. We would drive to see each other on weekends and on Sun...
Eton Mess is a lovely, versatile dessert: It's light, yet very satisfying, and appeals to both young and sophisticated palates. Traditionally made with strawberries, it takes advantage of seasonal f...
For family meals and holidays, my grandma would often bring a dessert, along with her relish tray. It would always come in a large Regal Ware aluminum cake carrier, making whatever was inside even mor...
Please tell us that you've heard of these bar cookies? We started craving them over the weekend, but when we hopped online to find a recipe, we found next to nothing! How can it be that more people ...
