Usually sending my husband to the grocery store is a potential danger. We often joke he will be likely to return home with five different kinds of mustard. But the other month, when I was feeling under the weather and cuddled up on the sofa with our dog, my husband did well with the shopping. […]

I can’t even begin to express the delight I felt when I was browsing MeinCupcake.de’s online store and I saw that they offered a kit for making butter cookies with molded chocolate. Ever since I discovered Bahlsen’s Choco Leibniz from Germany and LU’s Petit écolier from France, I’ve been wanting to make these at home.

Biscotti: it’s another one you can chalk up to the I’ve Never Had It So I Will Make It category. And so I did. After eying the recipe as a possibility for the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap I ended up putting the biscotti off. Instead, I made a double batch. I gave some to

It took me forever to figure out what I was going to make for this year’s Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. Last year I made Heidesand mit Meersalz, a delicious German shortbread cookie. This year I was all ready to make chocolate biscotti because, honestly, I’d never eaten biscotti before. Then at the last minute

Every time I eat a cookie I bought at the store I feel slightly guilty. I could just as easily make cookies at home that would, probably, be healthier. Although a more appropriate way to phrase it might be “not as bad for me”. Plus homemade cookies are definitely tastier. But just like everything else,

After my first experience making French macarons — in which I got about 50% success — I decided I wanted another go. They really weren’t that difficult to make and the possibility of flavor combinations seems endless. French macaron attempt #2: Matcha green tea French macarons with milk chocolate ganache. Didn’t take long to get

There are pluses and minuses of living in, seemingly, nowhere. There’s the quiet. There’s the privacy. There’s the fact that we are lucky enough to have enough of a yard to have space for a vegetable garden and the dog to run around and the ability to attract and see birds and other animals. But

I found out about The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap not long after it occurred last year for the first time. When it was announced for this year, I figured it could be fun and it’d be worth a shot. It’s always stressful when you’re baking for other people. You can’t help but think about

At some point after I started this blog and started baking on a semi-regular basis, my parents mentioned something I never knew. They had my grandfather’s handwritten recipe notebook. I knew he had been a baker when my dad was growing up but I had no idea that a notebook existed. In all honesty it’s

A long time ago I swore I’d never use those bake-and-break chocolate chip cookies. They’re too sweet and the Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is so darn good and easy. Then I saw the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe on the little kitchen. I hadn’t been looking for a new chocolate

On our last full day in Munich, we had some time to kill before we went to see FC Bayern Münichen play. (Spoiler: they destroyed Freiburg 7 to nothing.) We stopped into a bakery on the outskirts of Schloss Nymphenburg. I got my first real croissant of the trip, we got two pretzels that, unbeknownst

Last year I made Zimtsterne (or “cinnamon stars”) along with sugar cookies to take to my parents’ for Christmas. I’d never heard of Zimtsterne before but I figured they were worth a shot: there’s few ingredients and I thought they’d be a great surprise for my lactose-intolerant mom. Well, the cookies didn’t turn out too
