A few days ago, I was really craving Angel Food cake. It’s one of my favorites, but I’ve never made it from scratch, so I gave it a go. It was very easy and came out great– here’s a link to the recipe I used for that. Since Angel Food cake uses only whites (quite…

Riesling Poached Pears
Now, I’m no baker, but I love dessert. It seems like a meal isn’t complete without a little something sweet at the end. Eventually I want to learn how to make a chocolate tart, soufflé, or something else that’s sweet and fancy, but that’s a question for my friends in the baking program at school….
Recipe: 7 Layer Magic Bars
I love when a new recipe just falls into my lap, especially one as delicious as this. My friend Sierra, who is a standard fixture in my home and life, made this for me the other day. It was incredible. I was fighting people for the last bite. This is a crazy simple dessert, but…

Recipe: Easiest–Ever Key Lime Pie
I love Key Lime Pie. I always have and I hope I always will. I’m actually surprised I haven’t written about it yet. I actually searched my own blog about five times last night, unable to believe I haven’t posted about the pie. I enjoy my desserts more on the tart side, and I don’t…
