Gougères {with Guinness & Cheddar}

March 13, 2012

I had some leftover cheddar from making mac and cheese last week, so I thought I’d make some gougères, a.k.a. French cheese puffs or “goo chairs” if you are my husband (he and French words do not mix). These gougères are a little special because there’s Guinness beer in the batter. The Guinness in these [...]

Vegan Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

February 27, 2012

These vegan oatmeal cookies are a new favorite of mine. They are soft, chewy, and taste like a quintessential oatmeal cookie. They aren’t just really good vegan cookies–they are really good cookies… period. To create that rich flavor and texture that you would normally get from using butter, these cookies use a number of surprising [...]

Oatmeal Shortbread

February 4, 2012

I adore these cookies. Don’t let the oats fool you into thinking that they aren’t delicious. They look deceptively healthy, but this is shortbread we are talking about. There is plenty of butter in them, I promise. Essentially, this is a shortbread that uses mostly oats instead of flour–genius idea, if you ask me. All [...]

Honey Oatmeal Sandwich Bread

January 2, 2012

Happy 2012! I’m back from the Midwest and am officially (kind of) tired of eating cookies and other holiday treats. Like a lot of other people, I’m trying to recover from end-of-year feasting and want to start the new year on a healthy note. So the first thing I decided to bake this year is [...]

Sugar and Spice Drop Cookies

December 9, 2011

I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread. I don’t know if it’s because my mom never baked it growing up or my general aversion to ginger, but I’ve never really liked it. This being said, I don’t think I’ll be sharing any gingerbread recipes anytime soon. These sugar and spice [...]

Healthier Banana Crumb Muffins

November 21, 2011

Since it will be an indulgent week, I wanted to make something on the healthier side. These banana crumb muffins are delicious and will be great to have on hand when my parents get into town tomorrow for Thanksgiving. They are made with white whole wheat flour, agave nectar, and heart healthy canola oil instead [...]

Chocolate Coconut Almond Cookies

November 10, 2011

I woke up this morning and realized that there are only two weeks until Thanksgiving! My parents will be coming into town, so I will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner for them for the first time ever (eek)! I spent most of my morning looking up table setting ideas and going through recipes. And now I [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Cookies

October 19, 2011

Yesterday, the temperature in Houston was below 80 degrees… it finally feels like fall! We just got back from a trip to France and my desire to make pain au chocolat and macarons has now been trumped by my urge to make anything and everything I can with pumpkin. I’ve got dozens of different pumpkin [...]

Sunday Morning Pancakes

October 2, 2011

I like to think of myself as an expert when it comes to pancakes. I have made tons of pancakes over the years and they are one of my favorites things to make. These pancakes have become one of my go-to pancakes and I like to call them “Sunday Morning Pancakes” because they are easy [...]

Agave Brownies

September 21, 2011

Baking with agave nectar is always an experiment. I was hoping these brownies would be wonderfully fudgy and chewy, but they have a consistency that is closer to cake. I’m not complaining though… I love chocolate cake as much as I love brownies. I ate that strip of brownie missing from the picture within a [...]
