Alana The final addition to the baking care package Theresa and I sent with Stephen and his friends on the bachelor party (mentioned originally in my cheddar and caramelized white chocolate scone post) was cookies! This is the first version of the brown sugar shortbread cookie recipe that I posted. I forgot how good they … More Bachelor Party Part III: Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies
Alana As mentioned in my last post (the Cheddar and White Caramelized Chocolate Scones), Theresa and baked a few different snacks for Stephen and his friends for his bachelor party. After the scones we decided to make banana bread. The only unfortunate part about this banana bread is that Theresa and I didn’t get to … More Bachelor Party Part II: Banana Banana Bread
Alana This past weekend was Stephen’s bachelor party, and unfortunately Theresa and I were not able to attend.

Road trips mean snacks, so Theresa and I decided to whip up a few things for Stephen and company … More Bachelor Party Part I: Cheddar and Caramelized White Chocolate Scones

Small victories!

That could be some upbringing bias right there, but I’m OK with that. I’ve made these cookies once before, but they didn’t turn out as I’d hoped. … More Cardamom Shortbread Cookies: V2
Alana A while ago I made creme brulee for a French themed food night with the nurses. I wanted to give this recipe another go because, as I mentioned in my previous post, the creme brulee didn’t set properly. Earlier this week Theresa and I made a batch of swiss meringue buttercream because we plan … More Creme Brulee II
Alana My friend Stephen is getting married this December, and I am SO excited for his wedding!
