going old school

Yum

Old-fashioned peanut butter cake. I'm sure cafeteria meals have changed a lot since I was in school, but if there's one thing that I hope they haven't taken away, it's the peanut butter cake.

brown butter bliss

Yum

Brown butter banana cake with brown butter frosting. Brown butter is the best. It's an ingredient I've decided to try to work into pretty much anything I make in the future, and I'm fully convinced that those treats will be all the better because of it!

mint to be #giveaway #NielsenMasseyInspires

Yum

Swirled white chocolate peppermint bark. For whatever silly reason, it seems like peppermint is really only featured during the holidays, and that's a shame!

sugar rush

Yum

Though one of the main purposes of my blog is to keep a record of recipes I love so I can come back to them repeatedly, there are some I never make again. I also rarely re-post recipes, with some notable exceptions.

Mexican vanilla crème brûlée. My husband and I used to go out to eat quite a bit, but that has slowed stopped since Eva came along. I don't miss it as much as I would've expected.

grumpy gardener

Yum

Squash casserole. Fried squash is excellent, but if you want an easier, cheesier way to eat your yellow squash, I recommend a squash casserole!

simply the best

Yum

Roasted cauliflower with parmesan and thyme. Cauliflower stinks up our house just about as badly as Brussels sprouts, but I continue to make it. That must mean I like it a lot.
