making life sweet
It’s good to keep a few recipes in your arsenal that are no stress, can always be found in your pantry, and impressive AF. This is mine – Salted Brown Butter Krispie Treats. The perfect treat to whip up for a friend’s birthday, block party, or spontaneous movie night. The two elements in this recipe’s namesake – Salt and Brown Butter…
By nature, I’m a bit of a lazy baker. It takes something really special and truly delicious to make me commit to a two-page recipe (I see you, almond croissants), or stand over a stove stirring for 30 minutes (saffron risotto, my true love). So when I heard about Sarah Keiffer’s Pan Banging Chocolate Chip Cookies I was both skeptical and intrigued….
If someone tries to tell you their favorite treat is a reese’s peanut butter cup, tell them to hit the road. That is not peanut butter and chocolate. It is a dry crumbly peanut butter imposter dipped into a waxy faux-chocolate faker trying to leave your mouth disappointed and ruin your day. Dramatics aside, if you’re going to do peanut…
Muffin Monday! That’s a phrase I’ve seen roaming instagram lately, and I gotta say I love it. There are few things more devastating than a Monday morning, with five whole days standing between you and the next weekend happy hour. But this week I’m just a little bit more prepared, with a dozen of Morning Glory Muffins by my side. If we lived…
It’s Friday folks! And yes it might be rainy and gross with no sunshine in the near future, but it is still Friday. And on this Friday I am going to brew myself a strong cup of earl grey tea, and eat some Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies. They are crunchy and sweet, and the perfect end to what has been a…
I love New England. I love its history, and architecture. I love its brutal winters, breezy summers, and it’s gorgeous fall foliage. I love it’s obsession with lobster cookouts and Dunkin Donuts coffee. I always thought I would move back to the Boston area after college, but instead I met a cute from New Jersey and decided that was a…
It’s been so great to see Little Bits Bakery come alive the past few weeks. It was a rough start, trying to figure out domains and wordpress themes, and how to confidently post my own thoughts onto the always friendly and compassionate internet. Once I really hit my groove, I had my site get hacked and lost everything. But here we are,…
I missed the boat a little on Valentines Day this year. I started off super prepared – I bought my pink and white M&M’s in January with every intention of whipping up a beautiful cookies post for the most romantic and cheesy holiday all year. But a nasty cold, slammed week at work, and days of sleep deprivation later I…
I know “energy bites” are blowing up the internet lately, but I’ve never been one to turn down a great thing just because everyone knows about it. These bites have gotten me through many hectic no-time-for-breakfast mornings, busy afternoons where my only other snack option is the candy bowl on a colleagues desk, and road trips to Boston with unforgiving…
To me, life is all about balance. You shouldn’t eat pizza and deep-fried oreos everyday, but you also shouldn’t resign yourself to a life of kale, celery, and rice cakes (btw, gross). As a former fat kid (seriously though), I learned early on that depriving yourself of something only makes you want it more. Diets will send you on a…
