It’s been a pretty cool week, my friends! We completed our first photo shoot for Clabber Girl, Dave found a white wine that doesn’t give him a hangover, and I baked these Banana Chocolate Chip Cupcakes. Hooray! Read More…
Guinness Affogato & Clabber Girl
My, my, my…I can’t believe summer is already here. It kind of snuck up on me. I swear I just spent 48 hours cramming for my last two finals(crushed them, by the way) and was looking forward to chillin’ Read More…
Lemon Velvet Cake & Our 1st Anniversary
As of one week ago, it’s been 365 days of culinary adventures, gorgeous photography, and studio abandonment. There have been bouts of great food, failed recipes, a trip to Dumbass Starbucks, plus a good old fashioned perfect baked potato. I’ve been mesmerized by grilled chocolate sandwiches, magnetized by chocolate covered potato chips, and hypnotized by dark chocolate waffles. Are you noticing a pattern here? Read More…
Baked Maple Bacon Donuts
Baked Maple Bacon Donuts! These are the donuts people have been talking about for ages. In fact, a buddy of mine asked me to join her at the Glazed Donut Cafe here in L.A.. I said I would once I realized they have a Brown Butter Maple Bacon Donut. I haven’t had a chance to get there yet, but let me tell you something…these bad boys will hold me until I do.
I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. I mean, I love me some bacon and I’ll never say “no” to a donut, but a baked maple bacon donut? I wasn’t too sure. It’s like putting two things together that have no business merging. Let me put it to you like this: cheeseburgers are fantastic and ice cream is to die for, but do you really want two scoops of meat-filled Rocky Road? I didn’t think so.
On the other hand, what have I got to lose? Worst comes to worst, I’m left with a pile of crispy bacon and six maple glazed donuts.
I think I’ll be alright.

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Truffles
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Truffles!
The thought of it had my brain twisted. If somebody told me two weeks ago that melted chocolate plus whipped avocado equals a wonderfully creamy dessert, I would’ve laughed in their face. Ok, maybe not “in their face”, but as soon as they turned their back to me…
