Go ahead, cake my day. Yep, that's right, January 7 was the 37th anniversary of my first time eating cake. Which, I guess, a normal person would just call it their birthday, but when you're an introvert that loves cake as much as I do, putting something else front and center just feels right. I… Continue reading Cake: The Gift You Can Give Yourself

I have not seen a single flake of snow so far this winter, and I simply can't take it anymore. I decided to make a snowy dessert instead because necessity is the mother of invention and all that jazz. I made a cool gelatin Shark Week cheesecake over the summer, so I had been dying… Continue reading Winter Wonderland Cheesecake

But it's finally… Continue reading A Little Holiday Encourage-mint

Jump to recipe and instructions It seems like the month of October has been about 15 minutes long...I can't believe the best month of the year is already drawing to a close. I baked as spooky as possible at every turn, watched Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus and both Addams Family movies at least 17… Continue reading Every Trick or Treat in the Book

Jump to recipe and instructions I remember watching Little Shop of Horrors as a kid, when I probably really and truly shouldn't have, but how could a movie about a dentist and plant be nightmare fuel for a child of 8? I was raised on Addams Family, Hocus Pocus, Nightmare Before Christmas...I liked spooky, spooky… Continue reading Horrors Are Kinda My Thing

Baklava is a dessert I sincerely miss since entering my gluten free journey the last 4 years. I've looked high and low (and even at Trader Joe's), for gluten free phyllo dough, but no such luck.
