A chick with a whisk and a couple bricks of butter
Wtf happened to Spring? As I write this, there is snow on the ground and I'm legitimately concerned my screen sliding door is going to blow off because the wind is insane. I thought I would be making my first rhubarb pie of the year at this point, wearing a trenchcoat and MAYBE sunglasses. Instead, … Continue reading Nutty Salted Caramel Blondies
This is the first cheesecake I have ever made. And not to toot my own horn, but it's pretty damn good.
