A few people have requested smaller batch, scaled down recipes, so with that in mind (and because I needed an excuse to try this), I made a loaf pan version of the Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Bars using two different flavors of Oreos — the surprisingly tasty Berry Burst Ice Cream flavor and the chocolate [...]

School resumed today, so I guess the holidays are officially over. No more spontaneous trips to the roller rink or mid-afternoon trapeze classes. That’s Fuzz (in case you thought it was me) whose latent talent for the trapeze arts came out yesterday at Trapeze Austin. She’s never been to the circus, but she says she’s [...]

This recipe was included in a Redbook Magazine interview with Giada De Laurentis. When I first saw it, I wanted to run to the kitchen and try it out, but I was on an airplane so that wasn’t possible. Now I’m home in my messy house with loads of laundry and a batch of these [...]
