I have always wanted to try making Backlava, but making it seemed like an impossibly task- like french macarons. It took me a LONG time to agree to even try it for some reason. When I did, I LOVED IT! Perhaps that’s because it was  made by a Greek woman I worked with, who was […]

I was so excited to find this almond butter chocolate chip cookie recipe when browsing Foodgawker. Have you ever used Foodgawker? It is an amazing site with lots of yummy recipes and food photos. I have been lucky enough to have a few of my recipes, and photos, featured on the site. It’s my go-to […]

I was skeptical about this banana pudding recipe, but I had to try it after I came across this  while visiting Magnolia Bakery in NYC.

I will share the recipe with you, but the photos won’t be here to tempt you. Maybe […]

Though the whole concept didn’t sound all that appealing to me (I have an issue with food textures!). But, I thought my husband would enjoy […]

I typically am not a brittle/bark kinda girl. I like my sweets soft and chewy. But, I decided to mix it up a bit and try something new! I found this recipe via Pinterest, but it’s originally from Lemon Tree Dwelling. This recipe, I actually followed exactly as the original recipe below: M&M Cookie Brittle […]
