Imagine biting into the perfect strawberry chocolate truffle from a ridiculously expensive box of chocolates but in cake form. That is what I was going for when my daughter requested a strawberry chocolate cake for her twelfth birthday celebration. I looked all over the internet and searched through my cookbooks, but did not quite find [...]

Lindsey’s Lick the Plate Butter Cake
Posted in Cakes, tagged butter cake on August 27, 2010 | 24 Comments »
This rich, moist, golden cake is a butter cake, not a pound cake, but a spongy, soft and fancy bundt version. This beautiful cake was baked by my own blog super-fan and chef extraordinaire, Lindsey. She is my twelve-year-old niece, and she can whip up anything flat…just try her! I dare you.
A Smokin’ Pink Pizza
Posted in Appetizers, Pizza, tagged smoked salmon pizza on August 24, 2010 | 11 Comments »
It’s funny but most of my outings, even when totally directed at something other than food, leave a food imprint on my memory. Every year I go to the Pasadena Showcase House of Design to tour a multimillion dollar mansion, gawk at the over-the-top rooms that each designer showcased, hang out with my mom and [...]
Jealousy and a Fully Booked Tomato Tart
Posted in Pie, Side Dishes, tagged tomato tart on August 19, 2010 | 23 Comments »
My heirloom tomato tart and I have sort of a love hate relationship going on. It is delicious, ridiculously simple to make and looks like a million bucks…see? It is a truly dependable and spectacular tasting tart so why the animosity you may wonder. Well…I am getting very suspicious that the invitations I am receiving [...]
An Almost Grasshopper Pie Parfait
Posted in Chocolate, No-bake Desserts, tagged chocolate parfait on August 15, 2010 | 13 Comments »
Life has its share of epic fails, and so does my kitchen unfortunately. Cakes can just flat out refuse to come out of their pans, omelets will stage a sit-in and end up as scrambled cheesy eggs, and sometimes, Grasshopper Pies turn into parfaits.
A Pumped Up Zucchini and a Glorious Cake Mistake
Posted in Cakes, tagged zucchini on August 11, 2010 | 18 Comments »
I didn’t know it until this blog, but apparently I am a bundt person. I hadn’t realized it until just a few posts into this whole blogging thing and low and behold I am already on my second bundt. This blog is really helping me to get to know myself better and to my surprise [...]
Two Rocky Road Cupcakes and the Bad List
Posted in Chocolate, Cupcakes, tagged rocky road cupcakes on August 9, 2010 | 11 Comments »
These Rocky Road cupcakes are a perfect example of my tug-of-war with my family over good taste. My daughter and I had to make two versions of these lovely cupcakes to please both sides of the food spectrum at my house. You know that old song, “You say tomato (to-may-to) and I say tomato (to-maw-to), [...]
Counterfeit Peanut Butter Fudge Cupcakes
Posted in Chocolate, Cupcakes, tagged chocolate peanut butter cake, peanut butter on August 7, 2010 | 18 Comments »
Anything counterfeit is by definition a phony, an imposter, not as good as the original. So this post is not here to tell you that these decadent little cakes can even hold a candle to that Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake perfection on the Smitten Kitchen blog site. But I can tell you this…it does pack [...]
