I recently found out about 9th & Elm, an online store that features handmade and independent designers, and I’ve become obsessed. I was given the opportunity to pick out some goodies, which I then modeled around Central Park (shout out to my MIL Roni for taking the pics!), and I still check […]

Einhorn’s Epic Cookies
While at NYCC, I passed by a booth with cookie samples. Clearly, I had to stop. The cookie flavors all sounded amazing, and the one I tried (Cadiz: birthday cake, crisped rice, and rainbow sprinkles) was even better than I could imagine. It had a bit of a buttery, salty […]
The Official Cronut Recipe
Dominique Ansel, the creator of the Cronut, released a home version of the recipe for his famous pastry. And people are freaking out. The recipe takes 3 days to make, but if you follow the directions (and have all of the tools), it’s really not that tough. Most of […]
Rocket Raccoon-Inspired Gifts from Kate Spade

They may claim that the star accents are because raccoons are “night creatures” and not because a certain summer blockbuster featured a raccoon in SPACE. They can pretend it’s just […]

Burger Cupcakes in Honor of Bob’s Burgers
I wanted to make a burger-themed cupcake in honor of the new Bob’s Burgers season premiere, and I’ve always wanted to try this version I’ve seen around. I thought it would be difficult to make it look convincing, but it was surprisingly easy. I had multiple people asking if […]
Bob’s Burgers “Build a Burger” Party
Bob’s Burgers’ 5th season premiere is this Sunday, October 5th, and what better way to celebrate than with a burger party? I invited some friends over to create puntastic Burgers of the Day. (If you haven’t seen the show, Bob creates a different burger of the day for each episode, and […]
The Best Flavor Pairings
Peanut butter and jelly. Maple and bacon. Cinnamon and Sugar. Pumpkin and Spice. Flavors are just often better paired, and successful pairings seem to spread through recipes, parties, and restaurants like wildfire. Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the International Food Bloggers Conference, and among the amazing tips and […]
