Confession: I’m currently on Day 10 of the Whole30. Which doesn’t seem like the most fitting thing to share with you as I wave enticing photos of intensely rich and delicious, chocolate-y peanut butter and bourbon cake (+ salted caramel!) in front of your face, but...
This cake, y'all. It's simply irresistible. (<--- ohhhh, the 80's) This is one of those cakes that just begs for you to steal a bite each time you walk by it, perched on the counter, a fudgy temptress oozing with salty, crunchy caramel topping. Fingerful by fingerful, I...
Full Disclosure: Today's post is sponsored by Nestle Toll House, but the following flood of warm and fuzzy words about their new DelightFulls Filled Baking Morsels is all my own. I’m coming back at ya’ with another cookie recipe today. It feels a little out the...
The hours, days, weeks, months just keep FLYING THE HECK BY over here. My 27th birthday is in one week and six days (but who's counting?). what the?! According to the ever-wise, always-factual interwebs I'm about to enter a year of existential crisis coupled with the purchase...

Wednesday night I had the pleasure of going to see Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour at ACL Live's Moody Theatre - the filming location for the famous Austin City Limits Live TV show. I must admit, I was a little skeptical. I didn't pay...
Y'all. I'm wearing a sweater. Here in Austin, it's the first sweater-requiring day of the season. I'm loving it. I was in Chicago for the weekend visiting my 101 year-old great aunt (amazing, right?). It was cold. The leaves had turned and were starting to fall from the...
I went a little over the top with these brownies. Unadulterated, this recipe is indulgent. Add Kit Kat Bars and caramel, and it's bordering on morally reprehensible. But you know what? Bring on the confessional, my friends. These Ooey Gooey Kit Kat Caramel Brownies are totally worth it....
