I’ve recently been converted to meatballs. They’re not something I had growing up, but since making meatballs myself (here, here and here), and then going to an awesome Meatball Shop in NYC, I’ve come to appreciate the tasty versatility of meatballs.

And fortunately, these cookies are satisfying and delicious enough for the breakfast-lovers, but portable and convenient enough for the busy person. Cook up a batch ofRead more
It’s officially fall! The weather in MD has been absolutely beautiful, and I’ve already been doing my best to jump start fall activities: apple picking, a corn maze, a bonfire, pumpkin spice lattes, and walks in this gorgeous fall weather. It’s also time to think about making some of my favorite fall recipes. Check out lastRead more
Pavlovas are a type of meringue typically topped with whipped cream and berries. This meringue-dessert has a crispy-crunchy outer layer and a soft-chewy interior. It’s almost like a marshmallow on the inside, surrounded by a crisp-outer layer. Combined with barely-sweetened whipped cream and berries, these are a sweet, creamy treat.
