I chanced upon this granola recipe from the New York Times; it is originally an Eleven Madison Park recipe. Apparently, after the end of a meal, all diners are gifted a jar of this signature granola to take home. The reviews on the NYT were stellar, and I was intrigued. I will say that I've … Continue reading Coconut Cherry Pecan Granola

No Bake Homemade Cranberry Chocolate Oat Clif Bars
I'm a big fan of Clif chocolate brownie bars. They're only a dollar at Trader Joe's, taste like a brownie, and unlike Luna Bars, don't have rice crispies in them. I might have discovered the holy grail to making no-bake, gluten-free sweets that taste very similar to Clif bars - Medjool dates. By themselves, they … Continue reading No Bake Homemade Cranberry Chocolate Oat Clif Bars
Bourbon Brownies
I've missed baking with bourbon, and ever since I moved to my new apartment, I knew that this was the time to buy a handle of bourbon to fulfill all my baking desires. While I enjoy a nice top-shelf bourbon for sipping, Jim Beam works just fine when it's going to be complemented with chocolate … Continue reading Bourbon Brownies
Soft Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies (Gluten-Free)
As my foray into gluten-free baking continues, I have been pushing the boundaries slowly. I'm not going to be making gluten-free bread or cake anytime soon - basically anything that contains flour as its main component will be tricky to perfect with gluten-free flours. I thought that an oatmeal cookie would be a decent compromise, … Continue reading Soft Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies (Gluten-Free)
Small Batch Gluten-Free Molten Lava Cake

And it's actually really easy! The small amount of flour involved also means that the quality of the cake wouldn't suffer too … Continue reading Small Batch Gluten-Free Molten Lava Cake
Chocolate Almond Granola
One of my favorite snacks these days is Trader Joe's Chocolate Almond Granola. It's chocolatey, it's crunchy, it satisfies my breakfast and mid-afternoon snacking needs - it's really a great product. What's even better about it is how simple the ingredients list is. Just about everything can be found in the grocery store, and I … Continue reading Chocolate Almond Granola
Salted Chocolate Truffle Cookies
These cookies are très chocolatey, and when I noticed how little flour it involved, I decided to swap it out entirely for gluten-free flour. Unfortunately I think it made my cookies too crumbly. That's the downside to using gluten-free flour, it doesn't seem to have the stretchy, bond-y properties that gluten protein has. Oh well. … Continue reading Salted Chocolate Truffle Cookies
