This week Baking with Dorie was my selection! WOOT! The idea of a lime meringue pie just sounded perfect. Somehow I selected this recipe before I really read the recipe (sorry fellow Baking with Dorie members!). I didn't realize that the filling was nearly identical to "The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tart" that we'd already made. Eep! . . . keep reading

I wasn't sure what to make for my mother's birthday. The problem was solved for me when she said, "I want a chocolate cake." Since I know she loves (loves!) peanut butter, I iced her birthday cake with peanut butter icing. It was a hit! (If you have a peanut allergy, use traditional buttercream on the cake. It will be delicious!) . . . keep reading

This fluffy lemon pie is surprising easy to make. You just whisk together some sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice and eggs. To that, you'll fold in some egg whites and bake.

I've heard it said that the best food is made with love. If that's true, then this Irish Soda bread should be suburb! See, I don't like Irish Soda bread. There I said it. But my mom? She loves it!

Friends always tease me that I love the "browns": whiskey, bourbon, scotch. And I do! For Saint Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fun to create a recipe using Irish Whiskey. Since whiskey has a sweet-nutty-vanilla-y aroma, I decided to make a spicy quick bread with it. . . . keep reading

This recipe is my mom's fault. Okay, maybe not "fault" because who would want to blame someone for inspiring powdered sugar doughnut-muffins? Anyway, she was watching "The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Snack Attack" on The Food Network and someone mentioned Doughnut-Muffins. That's right. Muffins that taste like doughnuts. My mouth was already watering when she said, "You should make a gluten-free version." . . . keep reading
