Today’s food feature is the last little bakery I visited in San Diego before my vacation came to an end. In the fancy neighborhood of La Jolla (which is not pronounced La Joe-la FYI), we visited a cupcake bakery called Cups.
Cups is the street name for [...]
It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a complete food hangover the next morning.
Our faux Thanksgiving feast was a complete success! We dined around 7:30, after mowing down the cheese course of cheddar and goat cheese with croutons and my mom’s hot pepper jelly.
By the time the [...]
Set your coffee cup aside, you won’t be needing any of that this morning.
I am actually not a coffee drinker, but everyone else I know and love is. While I love the bold flavor of coffee, I can only handle it in small amounts. Whipped into frosting, for example, on top of [...]
Everyone says you should eat more fruits and vegetables. Follow that advice, and try this recipe for chocolate zucchini cakes! The vitamins and nutritional goodness is baked right into your dessert.
Aching to get away this week? Me too. I wish I was in San Francisco right now, as I do every day.

Out came the recipe books. I used my own recipe for chocolate cupcakes, and decided to rely on [...]
Don’t be ashamed, it happens to everyone: the urge to bake when no one’s watching.
“I will bring some of the brownies into work with me tomorrow.”
“Justin will be home soon to try this pie.”
“I’ll bring some of these cookies to sweeten up to my [...]
I saved my favorite D.C. destination for last.
The cupcake shop, of course. We stopped at Baked & Wired for a bite to eat during our long walk & sight-seeing. Immediately, I rejoiced when I saw the self-serve cookie bar. And those glass containers lined up along the counter? [...]
