If there’s one thing that I love as much as sweet potatoes (or dare I say… even more??) it’s cranberries. That’s why I am totally stealing this old post of mine from 2011 and remaking it. Partly also because those pictures were horrid and partly because I wanted to try them out gluten free because … Read more
My future (in 8 days!!) sister-in-law and I spent a couple of days in the last few weeks making about a couple hundred cupcakes for her wedding and freezing them. My poor, celiac mouth watered as I surveyed them all lined up like an army across my kitchen counters. “Aren’t there a few other gluten … Read more

I have a brother, Tay, as you may recall. I speak of him often. In fact, I spoke of him just last week when I was telling out about that mug pie. Tay and I have a healthy relationship of mutual servitude. He takes out the trash, and I bring him glasses of water. He … Read more
Well, my friends, this has been quite a week for me. My toddler is getting three molars in right now, so we are experiencing terrible twos to the max. Diaper cream all over couch and both children?

Seriously. This is the best German chocolate cake I have ever made. In fact, it’s the best cake that I’ve ever made period. And I’ve made a lot. In the few months since I first invented this recipe, I’ve made it so many times by popular demand that people are no longer requesting “that one … Read more
A few weeks ago I made macarons for the first time ever. I was blown away by how much easier they were to make than I expected. For some reason I just had this instinctive fear of making them, but it proved to be unfounded. Other than the fact that it’s sort of annoying … Read more

One of the best things about spring is that Easter comes with it, which means that my secret chocolate stash will finally be replenished. Seriously, my Christmas stuff is starting to look pretty … Read more
