First off, I hope I’m not the only one who had no idea what rugelach was before I made it. Rugelach is a treat made in the form of a crescent – like a little croissant - flaky on the outside and filled with chocolate, cinnamon and sugar, walnuts, dried fruit or jam. A.K.A. Delicious two-bite rolls
I’m not an eggnog girl. It’s always grossed me out, from the sour aftertaste to the soft-serve ice cream thickness (it takes me an hour to drink a glass). But this year, with a little help from good ole’ time-waster, Pinterest I can be a part of the eggnog club without the fear of vomiting
I’m a little pumpkined out. Every recipe, every DIY project, EVERY EVERYTHING contains pumpkin and I’m getting a little tired of the over-popularized winter squash. However, I think there is a way to use pumpkin without falling into a pumpkin-infused frenzy. Case in point, these pumpkin shortbread cookies I made this weekend with my mom.
If all goes as planned, I will no longer be a college student in a few weeks. As scary as the real world sounds, I’m excited to start the next chapter of my life, and hopefully this new chapter brings with it an income that allows me to push aside the cheap beers and enjoy

I got this recipe from Amateur Gourmet and immediately had to make it. The recipe is easy, fairly cheap because I had all of the basic cooking
I think these are the sweetest addition to any spring time get together. And since it’s about 60 degrees here, all I can think about is spring time. Fill a large ice cube tray with water and add some edible flowers facing down and stick it in the freezer. I got the recipe from Martha
I started the New Year like most people do, devoted to eating and living healthier. I tried quinoa, honey and berries in the morning but the time it took to cook the entire thing was just too much, I’d much rather sleep for an extra 15 minutes. Then I saw this electric green breakfast drink that was
After finishing a savory meal I crave something sweet but spending another hour in the kitchen making something is a crippling thought (hey, even pasta is tough for me). I needed something quick and delicious and then there was Ina Garten. Although her heavy breathing and constant reference to her house in the Hamptons is
Scones have always been pretty intimidating to me (for a baked good, that is). Achieving the perfect light flakiness, sweetness and moisture seems damn hard. Hard enough that I use the buy and eat technique versus the bake and eat. Luckily, my mother is kind of a super hero and can do anything including whip up some mighty fine
