Spider Web S'more Cheesecake Brownies
For about 315 straight days every year, you could call me a Halloween costume visionary. From pop culture to punny to straight up scary costumes, I'm a veritable goldmine of ideas. "How ever will I choose?" I ask myself, but of course I never write down my favorites, because that would be the smart thing to do, and I'd...
The Best One Bowl Brownies
You guys, I have been trying for a long time now to come up with the best brownies. I have tested all of the celebrated brownie recipes my little heart could handle, and I found promise in some, but not perfection. I have compared to box mixes. I have compared to bakery brownies. I have talked to...
Birthday Cake Remix Brownies
When I was in high school, I worked in a pretty pathetic mall (there were like 3 stores in the place that stayed open for more than a month) at an Auntie Anne's. There was honestly no reason to visit that mall unless you wanted a pretzel or ice cream. No reason at all. But in...

How to Host a Homegate
Thank you NFL for sponsoring this post. Can’t wait for my next Homegate! I’ve been hosting football parties since before I knew what a touchdown was. Or I guess I should say that my dad was hosting them back then (since I was a baby and all), but you know, I was hosting by...
Skillet Red Wine Brownie
Chocolate and wine. Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait. When it comes to heartthrob food pairings, dark chocolate and fruity red wine is the most sensual and simple combination that immediately comes to mind. Take a bite and then a sip, and it's all bliss, baby. This is one Valentine’s Day cliché that I'll happily...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chickpea Bars
I almost called these "Unbelievable Bars" because I was completely caught off guard when I realized that they were not only edible, but actually freaking delicious. They get this crackly, brownie-like crust on the top and bottom after baking, but stay extremely moist and almost fudgy in the center, sort of like the texture of...
Death By Chocolate Chunk Cookies
This cookie is the result of countless hours of inner-debate over which decadent dessert to bake. Do I whip together my famous Chocolate Chip Cookies? Do I mix up some One Bowl Brownies? How's a woman to choose between both sources of sugary splendor? She doesn't. In times of crisis, she makes Death By Chocolate Chunk...
Classic Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
If anyone were ever to call me a recipe purist, they'd be wildly mistaken. I like my foods fusion-ified. I like them loaded with crazy amounts of fillings and toppings, and authenticity always follows far behind enjoyability when it comes to my meals. I do not have a Plain Jane appetite, to say the least....
Gooey Lemon Bars with Blueberry Glaze
My family heard that I was making brownies for Easter, so they showed up ready to get their sweet teeth tickled. "That is not a brownie," my grandmother informed me, pointing to a yellow rectangle I was cutting. "And hi, dear!" She was right, the brownies were set aside (more on those brownies next week, by...
Three Cheese Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese
I'm sad to say that there was a point in my life when I hated Mac n' Cheese. Doesn't that make you sad for my childhood? Oh, the wasted years! For much of my life, I didn't realize that there was anything else out there other than the watery, powder-made instant cheese sauce from a box. No...
Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
There is not enough coffee in the world to save me today. I woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday to get my cooking done (look out for the Carrot Cake Cheesecake recipe coming up-- it should be illegal, it's so sinfully good) and then took a long, hurried drive/train ride to Newark for...
Salted and Malted Nutella Caramel Cookies
There are days when everything goes perfectly in my kitchen-- when I'm surprised at how easily a recipe has come together, there are no crazy set-backs, the food tastes great and is insanely photogenic, and the sun has decided to be on my side for the day and the natural lighting is perfect.

Boozy Shamrock Shake
These Irish eyes are smiling. Why? Because I now know how to make a Shamrock Shake at home. Cocktail-style.
Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
(Part of the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series) One of my favorite things to do when I'm thinking up recipes is to randomly combine things that I love. As I was brainstorming things to make for the Super Bowl Theme Thursday Series, I knew I wanted to make something that resembled a football. ...
