Easy Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
With New Jersey (and a good portion of the rest of the country and world) on lockdown, I’m using my Corona-cation the best way I know how: baking. Continue reading
Caramel Apple Galette
Mocha Brownie Ice Cream
Have you ever picked up a gallon of Edy’s Double Fudge Brownie ice cream at the grocery store? Chocolate ice cream, loaded with brownie bits, and a fudge swirl to boot! It was my favorite flavor as a kid, and I wasn’t even that into chocolate growing up, so you know this stuff had to be good. Of course, after a few summers scooping at an ice cream shop and a few years experimenting with my ice cream maker, I’ve become quite the snob and generally turn up my nose at store-bought brands. (I know, I know—I’m the worst.)
Even though I usually crave a couple of scoops from my favorite local shop (where the flavors are unique and everything is made in-house), this week I had a major case of chocolate-munchies that required immediate attention. And with half a quart of heavy cream in the fridge, the result: my own adult take on my childhood fave.

The Perfect Pie Crust
with raspberry, fig and bay filling
In season one of Gilmore Girls, while Lorelai (played by the ever-wonderful Lauren Graham) is trying to decide whether or not to go on a date with her daughter’s teacher, she shares these wise words:
“I’m attracted to pie. It doesn’t mean I feel the need to date pie.”
Up until recently, I thought this was sage advice. But now, I’m thinking maybe she never had a piece of pie quite like this…
Mulled Cider Muffins
Ahh, fall…
My favorite time of year has finally arrived, and I’m ready to make the most of this all-too-fleeting season. For many, taking full advantage of autumn means apple picking, hay rides and drinking an exceedingly unhealthy amount of pumpkin spice lattes. And, don’t get me wrong, I intend to do all of those things. But, for me, fall is all about the food.
This season is bursting with nature’s best – from picturesque landscapes to heartwarming ingredients. And I plan to enjoy it all to the fullest.
Today, that means making mulled apple cider muffins. Yum.
