Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! What better way to celebrate than making a giant skillet cookie?!? I tried one at a restaurant years ago and it was drenched in butter so I was hopeful this recipe was a lot better. We bought the America’s Test Kitchen Cast Iron cookbook so I used that recipe,…

Baked Alaska
I’ve been wanting to try Baked Alaska for ages, plus who doesn’t want to use a cooking torch?? I opted to use a Test Kitchen recipe since I feel like a lot of people said this was fairly difficult and they’re good at testing different kinds of ingredients/methods to find the perfect recipe. The cake…

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Bar
I love cinnamon toast crunch and saw this on Instagram and thought I’d use what I had left to make these cereal bars. This definitely is an easy recipe as you basically just heat the butter and marshmallows over heat, add vanilla, then pour that over the cereal. I kind of eyed the marshmallows and…

Chocolate Cream Pie
Happy Pi Day! I love chocolate meringue pie and had been wanting one for a while. My husband has used a good recipe in the past from America’s Test Kitchen so I looked through our cookbooks and found this one. He swore it was the same one he used to make chocolate meringue pie last…

The recipe itself is really straightforward and honestly would have been ranked at a 10 for…

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 9: Traditional Fried Rosettes
Another frying recipe! I’m getting better about frying things, but I think having a little nervousness is good to keep you from becoming too lax and potentially starting a grease fire. These eastern European treats remind me of funnel cake, which I love. You do need to buy specific tools to make these, but they’re…

12 Days of Christmas Baking- Pastry Edition Day 2: Cinnamon Bun Palmiers
Palmiers are a classic french puff pastry cookie and while I had seen them in photos before, I actually didn’t know what they were called. A friend and I thought it would be fun to make and while we cheated a little and used store bought puff pastry it made this recipe super easy to…

Pumpkin Pie
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m posting early today in case you need a quick and yummy dessert to eat with your thanksgiving meal. If you have a can of pumpkin puree, a can of sweetened condensed milk, some eggs, and spices then you’re set. Well, and a pie crust… that’s pretty important too (we generally get the…
