Sour Cream Coffee Cake

You may have noticed that a lot of the recipes I’ve been posting are from cooking light lately. There’s a reason for that. I’m trying to stop indulging my decadent side as much. I mean, I’m all for a stick of butter and a cup of cream, but in moderation and celebration. So I’m trying [...]

best cocoa brownies

This is what happened to these brownies: They didn’t last an hour. Oh smitten kitchen, stop taunting me with all of your amazing recipes! This is starting to get a little stalker-ish if you ask me.

Ginger and Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée

And the final crème brûlée. I actually made this one from start to finish! And I was proud of myself for how it turned out. I’m pretty convinced that I should get a culinary torch now so I can continue to make these delectable desserts whenever the craving should hit. Especially now that I know [...]
