Yes, I made up this cake name. Yes, it is perfect for any firework related holiday but really perfect for the 4th of July. Or perhaps a child’s birthday? Either way, I have a lot of excess pop rocks and I’d like to find a new home for them preferably outside of my house. The…
Have you ever eaten a good, fudgy brownie … and been like why can’t this be a whole cake? If so, this is the cake for you. It is like a cake make out of just the middle fudgy part of the brownie. Not the crust not the bottom, not the edges… just the…
I’m going to make this quick… because green bean salad is pretty straight forward. I almost wouldn’t write it up but when I was menu planning for this years 4th of July… I realized I never wrote down what I made last year. Devastating. My formula for the 4th of July menu is always the…
I will continue to stand by the principle that I only make things I wouldn’t mind eating for several days. That will be the case 1000% with this pasta salad. Turns out I didn’t need to double it… one batch would have been just fine. Thankfully, this super easy pasta salad is light enough that…
I love a good potato salad. It can be so many things… extra creamy, extra savory, extra just about anything. There was this amazing potato salad we grew up with that had peas and bacon in it. I’m sure there were other things but I flipping love that stuff. It came as a side whenever…
… and when I say Quick, I really mean quick. This whole recipe was complete from start to finish in about 75 minutes – which is impressive considering its not just a “dump it all in” casserole. You have legit manual labor to do here. I was in the market for a good Father’s Day…
Well, this is my second cake. The frosting didn’t come out quite as beautiful as the first one last week – but it tastes pretty delicious and I’m good with that. On Friday, I googled “spring cakes” and landed on this website called “The Cake Blog”. So many good options. I’m actually a little tempted…
Feel free to file these under “fastest muffin making”. I’ve been slowly working through a batch of very ripe bananas. It would be easiest to just eat them or put them in a smoothie – but oddly that feels like more work that baking with them. Last week I made this DELICIOUS banana cake that…
Ah banana bread. So delicious and wonderful … and you secretly think you are making a healthy decision because of the bananas. I had/have a pile of very ripe bananas from when my baby brother stayed with me a week or so ago. It would have been very easy to just whip those bad boys…
So candidly this original recipe called for short ribs… but I’m on a budget. Short ribs feel like an expensive cut of meat. Now, I’ll be honest if I was having a special guest over for dinner I might pull the trigger on a trip to Whole Foods for short ribs – but I’m less…
