  • Tahini Brownies

    When I spotted this recipe for Tahini Brownies on Taste of Beirut, I knew it was just a matter of time before we would tackle it ourselves.  Actually, “tackle” is very much an overstatement; this is one of the easiest brownie recipes we’ve ever made.  It literally took more time to figure out the approximate […]

  • Pumpkin Scones, a la Starbucks

    WTFOMG. I don’t know what to say about these. I love them. I hate them. I’m eating all of them, except for those that have already been eaten by Lisa.  Or the mysterious “mouse” that seems to be able to open the tupperware they’re in, take a few nibbles of one, and reseal it. These […]

Wow, was it good. Dangerously good. Pure-evil good. [donotprint] Lisa says: Hey, where’s […]

  • Honey Vanilla Ice Cream

    Lisa’s first attempt at making ice cream with her new toy worked out really well. She made a honey vanilla-bean ice cream that made us all very happy. This recipe came from… well, the manual for the ice cream maker. 🙂 [donotprint] Chris S. says: I scream… Cathy says: You scream… Chris says: We all […]
