The temperature has officially dropped, apples have officially been picked, and it’s finally time to start posting some of my favorite cookie recipes. With that, I’m also excited to start working on my pies & tarts for next year. There’s something about fall and winter that just scream pie. Maybe it’s the abundance of apples, …
Surprise, surprise. Another week and another return to some of my favorite obsessions: Glasgow/Scotland, coffee, and the Great British Bake Off. My introduction to Millionaire’s Shortbread came when I was 21 and studying in Glasgow. Every time I walked down Sauchiehall Street and into City Centre, I would walk by the window for Bradford’s Tea Room …
It’s already mid-September and I am so ready for the fall weather to finally arrive. I’ve pretty much been trying to force it along by baking things with apples and chai and drinking all the hot coffee I can. I am already four seasons into my annual autumn Gilmore Girls re-watch (because really, it’s the best season …
I feel like the idea of Monster Cookies has become so familiar that there should be a great story out there to explain just how they got their name. I know they seem to take their inspiration from the popular trail mix made with peanuts, M&Ms, and raisins–the kind labelled “Monster” on the shelves at …
It’s officially September, which means the better half of the year is about to start.

More importantly, these cookies stem from my obsession with the Great British Bake Off (& the SortedFood YouTube channel–every time they make or mention sticky toffee pudding I just want to hit the kitchen and …
Do you ever have foods that bring about certain memories? Maybe it’s that apple pie your mom makes a day or two after apple picking in the fall, that chocolate cake you eat every year for your birthday, or even that bag of Cheetos or mediocre pizza you share with a friend after a night …
This might be one of my more involved cookie recipes, but it may also be one of the best things I have ever baked. Filled with the flavor of peanut butter nougat (recipe linked below), these taste exactly like a Snickers bar & it’s just about impossible to keep your hands off of them! When …
It’s no secret that I am a huge theatre fan. Naturally, I look forward to the Tony Awards in the way most people prepare for the Oscars. However, the 2017 Tony’s were filled with the most anticipation. Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 was nominated for 12 awards–it was something I knew was …
Some days, you don’t feel like taking the time to bake a full batch of cookies. You don’t want to convert the recipe to make just what you need, nor do you feel like freezing some of the dough for later. There are days when you just want a quick fix, easy cookie that you …
