Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
The secret to my recipe for Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey’s Buttercream is to reduce the stout first to give you a deeply malted and moist crumb. The frosting adds just enough excitement without stealing the show and the end result is a cake you can’t resist eating… even for breakfast!
Toasted Pistachio Orange Biscotti is well-balanced with citrus notes. Toasty, a-little-bit-salty pistachios really steal the show. This recipe pairs well with a large pot of coffee.
Rum Pumpkin Praline Pie is the perfect combination of light and boozy, sweet and salty. A store-bought crust makes this recipe practically effortless.
Close your eyes and imagine eating a slice of Pink Lemonade Icebox Cake. Lightly lemon cookies, soft between layers of luscious whipped cream, crispy edges, the taste of butter that lingers on your tongue. Make the recipe this morning, enjoy it this afternoon.
Nana’s Chocolate Chip Meringues are sweet and simple with just three ingredients. Rich and creamy chocolate chips speckle a slightly sticky inner meringue. This recipe comes out perfect every time.

I’m eating my third slice of Skinny Peanut Butter and Blackberry Bread as I write this. Which, ya know, may be too much, but it is skinny after all.

Rocky Road Fudge Bars will make people fall in love with you… consider this your warning. This chocolatey, nutty, creamy layered bar is a standard at every family barbecue and summer holiday party and will be for years to come. I get constant comments that it’s sweet, but not too sweet, and could I have another one, please?!
I feel like I’ve been making a ton of not-so-nutritious foods lately and this is supposed to be a mostly nutritious blog. I’ve definitely pushing the limits of that word “mostly.” But ya know what? Someone challenged me recently to share my very first food photo on the Insta… and it wasn’t pretty. I first made these Rocky Road Fudge Bars on June 20, 2014 — more than three years ago! — and today I’m updating the post with some new photos.
