There's nothing wrong with just slapping some green frosting on your cupcakes for St. Paddy's day, but if you want a dessert that really will make the Irishmen (and ladies) swoon, this Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting is what you should be baking this year. And next year. And every chance you get for...

Matcha Cookie Christmas Tree Stacks
It's an exciting day of firsts for me. This is my first post I've written since moving (to my first place I've rented away from home since college), of my first time using matcha in baked goods. I never thought these Matcha Cookie Christmas Tree Stacks would turn out so perfectly on my first go, but what do you know? It's a...
Coquito (Puerto Rican Eggnog)
Oh Christmas drink, oh Christmas drink, how lovely is your rum spike. Oh Christmas drink, oh Christmas drink, you are what true joy tastes like. Of ol' eggnog, I've had my share, to coquito, it can't compare. Oh Christmas drink, oh Christmas drink, how lovely is your rum spike.
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cheesecake
Let's be honest: no matter how great of a cook you are, nor how gracious a host, Thanksgiving gets stressful when you're the chosen one who's preparing the feast. Everyone is counting on you for a delicious day; it is the biggest food-centric event of the year, after all. You spend days planning and prepping,...
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
While scrolling down my facebook feed earlier this week, I noticed a post from my cousin Jamie that made me laugh as I waited for my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars to come out of the oven. She announced, I've noticed a big backlash lately against pumpkin spice and I just wanted to make my...
Mongolian Beef
You would think that a dish called "Mongolian Beef" would be, well, a Mongolian meal made of beef. But we apparently have a tendency to just name things on a whim around here, and Mongolian Beef has absolutely nothing to do with Mongolian methods of cooking. Nada. Instead, it resembles the Americanized versions of Chinese food, which,...
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....

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...
Blue Cheese Garlic Beer Bread
Now that the cold weather has finally kicked in, most people are dreaming about baking up cookies, apple creations, and pumpkin masterpieces. You can definitely lump me in with that bunch-- my kitchen has been smelling like brown sugar and cinnamon for the past several weeks now, and there's no sign of it stopping any...
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. ...
