Nutty Salted Caramel Blondies

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

Honey Chevre Cheesecake with Rhubarb Compote

This is the first cheesecake I have ever made. And not to toot my own horn, but it's pretty damn good.

Five Spice Carrot Cakes with Bourbon Cream Cheese Glaze

I get that this recipe name is really long and basically sounds like something from a Masterchef challenge, but it's a lot of good stuff and it all matters! I had the idea to make mini spiced bundts with bourbon and cream cheese but kept putting it off for other things (pie), but all the … Continue reading Five Spice Carrot Cakes with Bourbon Cream Cheese Glaze

Blood Orange Chocolate Tart

I think I've established that I go pretty hard with blood oranges once Winter hits, but one obvious ingredient I've never paired them with is chocolate. Think of all the legendary chocolate pairings: Terry's Chocolate Oranges.  Chocolate Orange Shortbread.  Chocolate dipped clementines.  You get the picture, so why not blood orange?? This tart is super straightforward … Continue reading Blood Orange Chocolate Tart
