Surely you knew the theme for February would be chocolate! Happily for me, I made this cake before getting sick–and therefore even got to enjoy some of it. Happily for my friends, I brought it to a friend’s birthday celebration at a local bar. Not as happily for you guys, that means all the pictures of…
Cook, Eat, Tweet Mujadarra!
Mujadarra is a classic Middle Eastern dish of rice, lentils and caramelized onions, and it is the definition of comfort food as far as I am concerned. Affiliate links have been used in this post to items I am linking to. Guys! Cook, Eat, Tweet was so much fun! Not to mention delicious! If you…
#BundtaMonth: Citrus Bundt Cake with Sparkling Wine and Fiori di Sicilia… Trifle
You might have guessed from both my title and my picture that this month’s BundtAMonth did not go as planned. The first problem was that I just did not have many occasions on which to bake a bundt cake, given that I was sick throughout the holidays. Then, when I did make one, I made…

#BundtAMonth: Mint Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake with Creme de Menthe
Oh Bundt A Month, how I love you. Seriously. I was already addicted to bundt cakes, but being “forced” (inspired, assigned, whatever) to create this cake may be the happiest thing that has ever happened to me dessert-wise. And that is saying something.
#BundtaMonth Celebrates National Bundt Day!: Chocolate Ganache Draped Banana Bundt Cake and Earl Grey Chocolate Bundt Cake
Happy National Bundt Day! What, you didn’t know it was National Bundt Day? OK, I didn’t either, but the awesome folks that are in #BundtaMonth knew, so we figured hey any excuse is a good excuse to throw more bundt cakes out into the world. As a special treat for the celebration I actually have…
#BundtaMonth: Moroccan Inspired Olive Oil Bundt Cake with Ras El Hanout
We’ve all been there. I’ve been there more than once. There was the cream of mushroom soup I had right before getting sick on Vicodan when my wisdom teeth were removed, the vegetarian samosa I ate from a street food cart in Bath, England that made me queasy for the rest of the day, the…
#BundtaMonth: Glazed Orange Pumpkin Bundt Cake
I know, I know. I just posted a bundt cake for Bundt A Month. So this probably seems like 2 bundts in one month. But see the thing is, last time I had just discovered the group and was baking along just like you can this month (see below). This month I’m in the door, as…
