PB&J Brownies
4 months. Depending on where you’re at in life, 4 months can feel quite different. As a kid, it was was an amount of time that wasn’t even fathomable. 4 months until Disneyland / summer vacation / insertcoolthinghere?? Uuuuuuugh. These days? Let’s put it this way: in seemingly no time at all, it’s been 4 months since my last […]
Salted Toffee Crunch Cookies
Over the past few weeks I (and about 600 other bloggers worldwide) participated in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. What does this mean? Aside from cookies, that is? This year, it meant raising almost $14,000 for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. (!!!) It meant each participating blogger baking and sending a dozen cookies each to […]
Pumpkin Beer Bread
Let’s ease into this whole fall situation. I know it’s October, but so far I’ve been resisting the transition because: 1. We didn’t get full on summer weather in SF until late August. 2. I saw Halloween decorations in a store shortly thereafter. That is not OK. Soon we’ll see Halloween decor immediately replace the […]
Chocolate Smoked Salt Ice Cream
I have a couple of reasons to be extraordinarily excited right now. For starters: look around! Welcome to the new and improved Kitchenette! I’ve been longing to redesign the site for a while, but the timing never seemed quite right. Once I accepted that I’m never going to be less busy, I sat down and […]
Spicy Coconut Lime Popsicles
^^^Look you guys!^^^ I finally got a popsicle mold! It’s very exciting stuff, not to mention the best $20 I ever spent. I’ve already made 4 batches of popsicles, and it just showed up on my doorstep a week or so ago. I can’t stop! In fact I currently have a pop in one hand […]
Maple Lavender Frozen Yogurt
There was a time when I really tried to hate frozen yogurt. This, of course, had nothing to do with the year or so I spent working at a frozen yogurt shop. Nothing at all. I was just genuinely against its velvety texture, the balance of sweetness and yogurty tang, not to mention its health benefits over run-of-the-mill ice […]
Cacao Nib Caramels
As soon as I poured this caramel hotness into its cooling vessel, I could only think one thing: “I’ve made a huge mistake.” (Props to my fellow Arrested Development fans) Not that I messed up the recipe or anything, I just knew I was on track to eat way too many of these caramels. The […]
Bourbon Pecan Pumpkin Cheesecake
This recipe has been in the works for a loooong time. I had to make sure it was just right for you guys! So over the course of a couple of years, I’ve been enduring the difficult task of making (and eating) this cheesecake. It’s been rough. I can’t lie – it was delicious right […]
Peanut Butter & Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches
Don’t you just love when food gets all magical on you? I’m fascinated by watching yeast bloom, or egg whites transform into meringue. But when I read I could watch frozen bananas turn into ice cream, it just sounded too good to be true. It also sounded delicious, so I set out to try it. […]
Rustic Sweet Cherry Galette
Is it bad that part of the reason I look forward to having children is that I’ll be able to cook and eat a greater variety of things? Don’t look at me like that – let me explain. Currently, it’s just the hubs and me. And hubby is picky. So when it comes to making […]
