Recently I decided to embrace my lack of decorating skills. I made some spoooooooooooky cupcakes. These little guys are kind of like Burger after his latest trip to the groomer… so ugly they’re cute. We all know it’s what’s inside that counts (I keep telling myself this through tears of laughter every time I look […]
When I started this blog I had a vision of seamlessly blending my love for baking with my life as a nurse. That train somehow derailed, and I went head first into the recipes section, leaving my lifestyle tab a little bare. For those of you who don’t know me personally (get a little intro […]
We all know I love a good mashup, whether it is Burger the bernedoodle or a pumpkin apple pie. The sugardoodle is my latest love. I have always been a chocolate chip cookie kind of girl, or a monster cookie kind of girl, or even a white chocolate macadamia cookie kind of girl… but I […]
In keeping trendy and seasonal, today’s recipe is a rustic apple tart! This tart full of apples, apricot, and honey is the bee’s knees. Fun fact: bees do in fact have knees. I just saved you a google search. And with that, let’s hop to it! The Supplies 2 cups of all purpose flour 3 […]
This caramel apple crème brûlée combines two of my favorite desserts. But who am I kidding, I mostly like it because I’ll take any excuse I can get to bust out the kitchen torch. It is a genuine miracle my coworkers haven’t seen me in the ER for a kitchen related incident. I know you’re […]

Alright, it’s been a long week in the ER. Let’s just dive right into the recipe! The Supplies 2½ of cups flour 1 tsp […]
You want me to what? Blind baking is perhaps one of the most daunting parts of baking a cream or custard pie. Blind baking simply means pre-baking, but the “blind” part makes a lot of sense. Pie crusts, as a general rule, have a mind of their own, and they behave differently depending on whether […]
I know fall was “technically” here at the end of last month, but October 1st felt like the right day to really bust out the pumpkin. This pumpkin apple pie is the perfect marriage between two fall favorites! If you live in a house divided, this puppy gives you the best of both. You can […]
AKA: French Sweet Crust… AKA: Pie Dough This blog came to be because of my love for all things sweet, particularly tarts. I use this pâté sucrée recipe for 99% of the tarts/pies/tartlets that I bake. It also works as a shortbread cookie, and if you’re feeling real fancy… pizza crust. Look, all I’m saying […]
