Can we just take a minute to talk about the new season of Queer Eye on Netflix? It is amazing. I wasted no time Friday morning when I realized it was finally on and consumed the first episode before I had to run to a work event. Then, I proceeded to come home and watch the …
Bacon. It’s so good that even Michael Scott was willing to injure himself just to wake up to the smell of it cooking. There’s a craze surrounding it. Literally. There is a full Wikipedia page out there about bacon mania. We dip it in chocolate, wrap it around the outside of sandwiches, and even make …
If you don’t know what a s’more is, I’m going to have to direct you to this video from the Sandlot. “Hey, you want a s’more?” Actually, even if you do know what a s’more is, I’m still going to need you to watch that video. The scene is a classic and gave us not …

First there were the Banoffee Cookies, then the Raspberry and Cream Shortbread, the Blueberry and Cream Cookies, and now there are these: Raspberry, Dark Chocolate, & Pistachio Cookies. This is one of those recipes …
Last week, I wrote about Momofuku Milk Bar and how Christina Tosi’s recipe for milk crumbs inspired the Raspberry and Cream Shortbread Cookies I posted. This week’s recipe follows along with the idea of berries and cream: Blueberries and Cream. It felt like a natural progression in my journey of developing new cookie recipes: I …
In my very first post, I expressed my love for Schmackary’s–a New York cookie shop that I absolutely fell in love with shortly after moving to the city.
