Hola mis amigos! May I offer you a margarita? Or even better, a margarita cake ball? I'm coming back at you with another boozy recipe this week. Maybe it's the summer heat (already in the 90s here), maybe it's my mood as of late (slightly stressed but...
Hello there, strangers! I hope you had a fantastic long weekend. I sure did! For me, this year's was far more tame than Memorial Days of the past. Much less booze and much more house hunting - for a friend, not me - a surefire sign...
These cookies are not new to Butterlust. I posted the recipe last August - just a couple short months after I began experimenting with a DSLR camera (HELLO, iPhone photos!). And while I'm still a photo-novice (so much to learn!), it's pretty easy to recognize...
I really don't know how to gracefully introduce this topic so I'm just going to come out and tell you: I got my first black eye. I'm currently sporting a slightly puffy eyelid, blushed a ripe purple and twinged with that shade of greenish-yellow-under-translucent-skin that only...
It was a crazy weird mostly normal weekend, y'all. For me, at least. Joy lost (and found) her cat. (Note to Tron-Kitt: You should definitely never run away again. Your mom is the coolest).

Butterscotch Pie with Vanilla Shortbread Cookie Crust & Honeyed Pistachios. Quite the mouthful, I know. But the whipped cream is also honeyed and I left that part out so I figured that counted for something. I just got back from an extended Weekend in Washington D.C. where I...
Hi there! I realize I'm a bit late getting this post up, but I hope you had a wonderful Easter filled with marshmallow peeps, chocolate bunnies & fat slices of carrot cake! Mine involved 2 of the 3 PLUS this sorbet so I'm declaring it...
Can we talk about chocolate for a hot second? Because real talk, who doesn't love chocolate? I know, there are some of you out there, but I'm convinced it's a temporary infliction. Take my mom for example. When I was growing up, she claimed to 'not like'...
Sometimes the best desserts are ugly. Sometimes they stick to the pan and have to be wedged out with a butter knife. And then sit lop-sided on a plate, while one half crumbles into little pieces. Sometimes those best desserts are made in your kitchen by a tall,...
Earlier this week I shared this recipe for Spiced Yogurt Molasses Bread that I made for a Game of Thrones watch party. It turned out beautifully. But before I knew that, I was worried it was going to be, well, shitty. And when you're worried about shitty...
