Banana Bread for Great Justice!

So it doesn’t really feel like it to me for some reason, but I nonetheless recently realized that I might make banana bread more than any other baked goods. And it’s not necessarily that I’m incredibly fond of banana bread (though it is tasty), it’s more than I’m not very talented at eating all of [...]

Hooray for Gingerbread Waffles!

So the best part about this time of year is the fact that there are now 23828347924 things you can buy that are either pumpkin flavored or gingerbread flavored. As I am a cheap ho, I try to not actually buy too many of these things, as I can make just as many things with [...]

Frozen Yogurt Madness – Golden Spoon and Yogurtland

So remember back in the 90s, frozen yogurt was all over the place? And there were people who debated if it was better or worse than ice cream? And if you were me, you were all like “soft serve is awesome, I don’t care?” Then it disappeared. And then what I think of as “the [...]

Flat-tastic Macaroon Cookies

So, macaroons are freaking awesome. I found this fabulous recipe for macaroons on allrecipes.com, and decided to give them a whirl. First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then dump 4 egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar into a bowl. Beat until fluffy. Then beat [...]

Apple Pi! AKA 3.14159265 of deliciousness

I am a sucker for fruity pie, but unfortunately pie crusts are a giant pain in the patootey. A homemade flaky pie crust is delightful, but is a giant pain to make if you are lazy like I am. I’ve never used a pie crust mix before, so I picked up a Jiffy pie crust [...]

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie…Of Joy!

So this past Christmas I received, amongst other things, a Nestle Toll House cookbook. This was yet another cookbook to add to the growing pile of cookbooks I’ve either received as gift, won, or bought on impulse, yet rarely made anything from. So, I’m trying to be better about actually using said cookbooks, rather than [...]

What to do with all that leftover pie crust dough

So it was Pi day recently. March 14th, to be precise. To celebrate, I made pi. Or pie, rather. Pies, actually, two of them. And you’d think that this post would be about said pies, but no. It’s about what I did with the leftover dough from making said pies. Growing up, I ate these [...]

Waffles are the Breakfast of the Gods

I heart waffles. I can never make *just* waffles either. I always gotta be dumping stuff in them. Waffles are probably best made from scratch, but more likely then not I’ll make mine with Bisquick. I have waffley needs that must be met in a very immediate fashion, and Bisquick is often the easiest solution. [...]

Chocolate Pecan Pie, Courtesy of Emeril

Chocolate pecan pie is the glorious merging of ingredients into a delicious fatty amalgamation of awesome. Regular pecan pie is already an incredible thing, but chocolate just makes it even better. I don’t have a favorite chocolate pecan pie recipe (yet, at least…) so when I decided to make one recently, I just pulled the [...]

Celebrate The Holidays With Flaccid Peppermint Oreo Mint Bark!

So mint bark is awesome. It’s easy to make plus significantly cheaper then buying it at some fancy chocolate shop. And, if you have slow friends, you can convince them that you chopped down a mint tree, harvesting it’s delicious bark just so they could have an extra special gift. On a related note, it [...]
