It's almost Cinco De Mayo, and I knew I needed a dessert that would celebrate this day in true style and these dulce de leche brownies did the trick. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I began having these horrible cravings for brownies.
This was my first adventure in macaron making, and while I won't say it's my last, these are certainly a "once in a while" treat. Macarons are very trendy right now, and I had been seeing them everywhere, so I decided to use my leftover egg whites from the Meyer Lemon Curd to make some.
Here's another recipe that I'd made while back home. Figure I should post it now, or else it'll go to the never ending folder of recipes that I didn't post on time, and then it became too old to post. {Do any of you also do that, or is it just me?
Here is a beautiful, fall-themed breakfast muffin recipe to make: Cranberry Muffins The best thing about weekends is breakfast... long, leisurely, lazy breakfasts with warm, homemade comfort food. I'm really good at making this happen in my house. Usually it's waffles or pancakes or jazzed-up scrambled eggs with fancy toast.
This cake and I, we have a love-hate relationship. Love because it's crazy delicious. Hate because it almost sent me to the looney house.

Venturing down memory lane, it seemed as if the wedding cake was the easiest decision we made. Mr. J was very interested in partaking in this aspect, more so than in making the DIY ...
You guys! I am still on my grapefruit kick. After a few recipes the past few weeks like this winter citrus tart or these sparkling grapefruit cocktails, I am still buying these juicy fruits by the bag. My grocery store carries delicious Florida grapefruits and I just can't get enough of them!
There's one thing that brightens up the grey, dull, post Christmas lull of January and that, my friends, is left over chocolate. This year I've totally shunned get-fit-go-on-a-diet-January. Instead we're partaking of frugal-use-up-every-last-bit-of-Christmas-January. Of course, this means eating all of that chocolate. What better way to 'use it up' than increase the problem even more,...
Deep and rich, this Peppermint Chocolate Cake gets a cool, refreshing burst from both peppermint extract and schnapps. Topped with peppermint ganache and crushed candy canes, it's a breathtaking holiday dessert. Much to my kids' dismay, I rarely frequent the candy aisle at the grocery store.
