Truths: 3.14 is National Pi Day! Oreo turned 100 last week!

Prolonging Vacation Brain
Heading back to work Friday was tough – on one hand, there was no need to slather myself in SPF 100 – on the other, there was no sun, no catamaran, and no scheduled pineapple break. One way to remind myself of just how delightful Costa Rica was was to fix a snack my Tica … Continue reading
Single Serve
I’m the kind of girl who likes to have my proverbial cake and eat it too. Dance all night but get up for early morning yoga. Settle in but not settle down. Free fall with a safety harness on. I’m also the kind of girl who does not buy into the whole single-girl-woe-is-me-I’ll-get-a-cat-instead mentality. I … Continue reading

It’s also a great excuse to make boozy cupcakes and feed them to friends. Game day cupcakes should definitely be beer-based, so I … Continue reading
Coming Soon!
Tonight, Ellie and I will be recording our second Boozy Bakeshop episode. Get ready for chocolate cupcakes made with red wine and– trust us, here– cayenne pepper. I’m sure Ellie has a super clever name for these delicious treats, which I will now try to guess… maybe something about being hot and full-bodied? Any thoughts … Continue reading
Brandy Banana Bread
Most days, I’m an oatmeal kind of girl. But on Saturday mornings in the depths of a New York City winter, I crave banana bread, lightly toasted and covered in peanut butter. When I made the change to a more vegan-ish existence, my first concern was to find a banana bread recipe that would satisfy. … Continue reading
Disaronno and Ginger Ale Cupcakes
Here’s our first shot at recording and editing (though I use that term in a very loose sense and hope you don’t judge us too harshly on our post-production abilities) a Boozy Bakeshop episode. The complete recipe is in the post below. Continue reading
