Rolo Sea Salt Brownies

I don’t often bake on a whim. Usually, I figure out what I want to bake a few days in advance, put together a recipe, and then bake it. But this week, on Thursday, to be more specific, I decided I wanted to bake brownies. Not just any brownies, though, I wanted to add something to […]

Speculaas Tiramisu

Tiramisu is rapidly becoming my go-to dessert when I need something easy but delicious for a group of people. There’s the classic tiramisu, but this strawberry and raspberry tiramisu is a great alternative if you don’t want to add cocoa or booze. Last week, however, I wanted something a little different than both of those. […]

Monthly Recap – March 2016

Aaand another month gone! I never really know how to start these posts, to be honest. Every month it’s “oh my, how fast it’s gone” and, I mean, it’s true, but it’s also getting kinda boring, isn’t it? And actually, I don’t think this month has gone particularly fast. It’s gone at a pretty average […]

My Ten Latest 5-Star Reads

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Your Last Ten 5-Star (or 1-Star) reads! I don’t think there are ten books I’ve given a 1-star rating, and the other option is much more positive, so I’m going for the 5-star one. I try to not give too many […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

We all have that one friend who seems to have a black hole for a stomach. You know, that person who can just keep eating forever. Oh, and the most frustrating thing: they always stay super thin! That’s my friend Wesley. For the last couple of years I’ve always baked something for his birthday party. When […]

The Gilmore Girls Book Tag

Last week was a bit of a strange one for me (nothing big – I’m fine!) and I ended up not posting anything on the blog at all. I’d been meaning to do this Gilmore Girls book tag by Cynthia from Bingeing on Books, though, so that’s what I’m doing now! Some of you may […]
