Have you ever gone to a bakery and gotten a muffin that was delicious, but so big and so rich you didn't think you could finish it in one meal? That's exactly the happy 900 calorie muffin I created here! Moist on the inside with an incredibly light crumb, this is a breakfast that's half-dessert,... Continue Reading →
Rich and Creamy Low Carb Espresso Cheesecake Bars
I don't really have an interesting story behind this one. I really like espresso coffee ice cream, and I really like cheesecake, so I decided to experiment bringing the two together, and the result is (expectedly!) delicious! If you're looking for a sweet treat that you can eat for breakfast or dessert, than look no... Continue Reading →
Soft and Gooey Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
I love chocolate chip cookies, but I hate making them. For some reason, getting the ratio of a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy interior is more difficult than it should be! Fortunately, I've found a way around this. By taking a typical cookie recipe and adding cream cheese, it helps to provide that soft,... Continue Reading →
Happy Holidays Peppermint Chocolate Cheesecake Lasagna
That's what I call it. The more popular name is "Sex in a Pan" and while my husband definitely agrees with that nickname, I don't happen to agree. I'm a fan of texture, and putting a pile of cold gloop in my mouth is off-putting, to say the least. That's why my version of this... Continue Reading →

As a kid, my dad always bought my mom those little mini pecan pie tarts from Swiss Colony for Christmas. They were intended as a gift for her, but... Continue Reading →

Being from New York, we've had our share of good cheesecake, and I grew up helping my mother bake it for my father every year on his birthday. When I was 16, I found a... Continue Reading →
Super Tasty Almond Blondies
I love baking. It's a great way to take a few mundane ingredients and turn them into something amazing. I've been told over and over again that baking is like a science: you have to follow the recipe to the letter and add in everything exactly as stated or your final product will be a...

Low Carb Shrimp Egg Lo Mein
I've been on a bit of a doctor-induced low carb kick lately, and it's honestly not as bad as I thought that it would be. Sure, not being able to bake is a big downside for me, but the upside is that I can still eat my eggs, and if you've visited this blog before,... Continue Reading →
No Bake Sugar Bomb Breakfast Cupcakes
Pulling an all nighter cramming for an exam. Pulling a late shift at work to make a last-minute deadline. Sometimes things come up in our lives and we need a sugar fix to keep us going as long as we can. Forget the calories, the carbs - you can worry about that after everything's all...
