Guys. Gals. Peeps. Homies. Invisible internet friends. I'm super proud of how these turned out. Really, really proud. And excited. Like, this was the most fun I've had in the kitchen in a long time, excited. Choux pastry, choux dough, pâte à choux (which has far too many wing...
Hot Fudge Brown Butter Skillet Cookie. Alternately titled -- The Reason I Should Quit My Job to Become a Full-Time Food Blogger. Let me tell you a little story about my day job. You see, my position requires me to be 'client facing'. Meaning, rather obviously, that...
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...

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). Molly went all out little-house-on-the-prarie on us and wore overalls on her farm (or maybe not since I guess...
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'...
