Nutella has been the apple of my eye (if only I was eating apples, and not loads of sugary, luxurious Nutella — oh well, life’s short). I’ve made a Nutella chocolate cake, Nutella ice cream, Nutella dipped pretzels, Nutella ice cream cake (coming soon!), Nutella plain, Nutella in my brain, Nutella by the spoon. It […]

Another week — and just thinking of that makes my head spin. Another week in quarantine, in isolation, in this wild time, where being at home is a blessing and taking classes online is the new normal. I guess last week was my emotional crack.

I practice something called the “three […]

Chocolate. Chocolate + cake. Chocolate + cake + frosting. Chocolate + cake + frosting + in your mouth. Yes, we are talking about chocolate cupcakes. Cupcakes are personal. They are single serving.

I broke my favorite blue spatula while baking these bars. If that’s not a metaphor for life, then I don’t know what is. You’re going in with your day. Everything appears normal. Out of nowhere, something unfortunate happens. You just keep moving forward. That’s all you can do. Although my broken spatula is nothing in […]
