Last weekend, Kele and I ventured out to Governer’s Island as part of our “explore one new thing” each weekend plan. Just a short 5-minute ferry ride from Manhattan landed us on the small gem of an island that has been the home to many-a-historic-event in the United States’ political past. But it wasn’t the [...]

This weekend, Kele and I partook in back-to-back nights of gorging ourselves. It all started late last week when I discovered that just across the street from our new apartment, the third annual New Taste of the Upper West Side would take place over the weekend. Bringing together more than 40 of the UWS’s best [...]

Since I have been living without sugar for a while now, I thought it would be a fun challenge to see what a crumble tastes like with my good friend, honey, instead. Turns out, delish as ever. This is a super simple dessert that uses ingredients you probably have laying around your kitchen. By the way, [...]

Show me a decadent, freshly-made cupcake and I could take it or leave it, but hand me a warm chunk-filled brownie (or chocolate chip cookie if we’re being honest) and I turn to mush. Something about the dense, rich chocolate that comes with each bite is almost enough to drive me to eat a whole [...]

This dessert is about as simple as it gets, about as delicious as it looks, and as healthy as it sounds. With juicy citrus bursting from farmer’s markets at the moment and dark chocolate now practically labeled a health food, this guilt-free dessert is the perfect way to end a meal on a sweet note [...]

Nothing rings in the holiday season quite like baking a batch of your favorite Christmas cookies. Something about mixing sticks of butter with cups upon cups of sugar and then topping it all off with added chocolate or frosting is pure bliss….and totally justified during the holidays. So to kick of the baking season, I had [...]

There couldn’t be an easier homemade holiday gift than these nuts. They’ve become an instant staple in my holiday goodie-giving repertoire. They take less than 5 minutes of prep time and roast in about as much time as it will take you to get dressed and ready for your holiday soiree. Just throw them in [...]

My boyfriend doesn’t have a huge sweet tooth but, come Thanksgiving time, he starts begging for pumpkin pie early and often. While I would love to help him with his seasonal craving, pies are a big commitment when you live in a house of two. After we enjoy our first slices we are still left [...]

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right?? Okay, so maybe that adage doesn’t apply to caramel-coated apples, but you could argue these treats are better for you than most desserts! I got my fair share of them at an adorable “Caramel-Apple-Making Party” one of my friends threw earlier this week. It was such [...]
