Orange Chocolate Stout Cake
Posted on Sep 7, 2010
I love beer. I know, not exactly shocking if you know me. So many of my recipes are born of the odd craving, and this one is no different. One afternoon, during a particularly stressful day at the office, I found myself craving a nice, stout beer. I was also thinking how nice a slice of chocolate cake would be, because nothing takes the edge off a bad day like cake. Of course, this led me to think about stout cakes. I love them,...
Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies
Posted on Aug 24, 2010
I’m something of a brownie junkie. That said, I am very specific about what I want in a good brownie, and I’m sad to admit I am not satisfied with most coffee shop or bakery brownies.

“Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.” — Amos Bronson Alcott I do not often discuss the struggles I go through testing and re-testing recipes because I am not sure how interesting my development process is to you all. Some recipes come together with one try, but those are sadly few and far between. Others, like this recipe, make me want to tear out my hair, weep, cry, and...
Golden Syrup Oatmeal Chip Cookies
Posted on Jun 29, 2010
It has been a little while since I made a batch of cookies, and it has also been a while since I used my beloved Golden Syrup. Quel nightmare! So, when the inevitable cookie craving struck the other day I went directly to the pantry to see what was available. I had already decided on Golden Syrup, and I had some fresh oatmeal, so that was going in. I also had part of a bag of chocolate chips. Things were looking pretty good for...
