On Vegan Sugar Cookies
As a run off to my dietary restrictions post last week, again, right in time for the Christmas cookie rush, I’m thrilled to announce that I have successfully made vegan (which also happened to be gluten-free) sugar cookies!! O.M.G. And they were GOOD! So I wanted to share and get these out ASAP!!! While I…
On Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies & Other Dietary Restrictions
Regardless of whether you stayed home, or made safe plans to travel home, I hope you all had a really lovely Thanksgiving weekend! We ourselves stayed home in Chicago, preparing for some exciting business news I hope to share in the next week or so. But onto what I know we’re all getting ready to…
On M&M Cookies
The other day, with all the cookie making I’ve been doing recently (check out my Facebook and Insta for the Mardi Gras themed cookies I made over the weekend!) Frankie asked me if I now preferred baking over cooking. The answer is no, I don’t prefer either over the other. In fact, while cooking provides…
On Gingerbread Sheet Cake & Christmas
It’s that time of year, when we pull out our most festive threads, put up & decorate the tree (which I think Frankie did a TERRIFIC job of doing this year), and deck our home in Christmas lights and ornaments in all the vases I almost never put any flowers into. Let’s just say, I am…
On Sad Goodbyes, Wedding Plans, CSA, and Other Things
Okay y’all, so I know it’s been a bit of a drought without a good post, but planning a wedding and getting ready (with just about 100 days left to go) takes it all out of you. Plus, I was sick all last week, so my plans to work on a good post last week…
On Asian Chicken Salad & Gluten Free Brownies
Cooking With Alex: We did do a quick recipe a couple weeks ago (after Alex was also sick…that summer bug is going around, so watch yourselves!) and I know I never got a chance to post it or talk about it, but since her busy season at work has started to pick up, our weekend…
On Mini Turtle Cheesecakes with Salted Caramel Sauce
I can’t believe how much I look forward to these posts! I love to cook on my own, don’t get me wrong, but getting to cook with one of your best friends (and my oldest friend for that matter, going on almost 22 years of friendship) and see actual moments of what it is that…
On Confetti Cupcakes
Dear Readers: My apologies for my incredibly late delay in a post…it’s been a busy last couple of weeks with some updates to announce! The first: Cooking with Friends will premiere for the very first time on Tuesday, April 17th, and will be posted later that evening or the next day (depending on how quickly…
On Baked Apples (aka. Rainy Day Away Apples)
My apologies dear readers for the delay. This season has been a busy one, but with Christmas only a week away, and all of my gifts now safely in transit or arrived at their various locations, I am able to finally breathe and get back to a more normalized schedule! Oh, and did I mention…
On Chocolate Chip Cookies
In what ended up being a 4 part experiment in nailing the perfect chocolate chip cookie…I did what anyone at their wits end would have done. I asked my mom! With this batch, I did the butter traditionally, softening it using a cool trick because my kitchen is almost the second coldest room in our…
On Mini Cheesecakes with Strawberries
This week’s baking challenge was cheesecake! Now, I know not many people like cheesecake (Frankie being one of them), but I happen to adore them, especially ones made for our monthly office birthday celebration by one of my coworkers! She makes all sorts of delicious flavors and they’re always gluten-free, which makes these cheesecakes even…
