Grilled Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey with Cinnamon Butter

April 30, 2013 by Mariel Goodson 4 Comments

Mariel here. This isn’t so much a recipe as a reminder of the delicious flavor combinations lurking in your pantry. During the first few months of my son’s life, my lunch – if I ate one – consisted of slices of Boar’s Head turkey. Just fistfuls of deli meat, no condiments, no cheese, no class.[…]

Old Fashioned Butterscotch Pudding

September 17, 2012 by Mariel Goodson 17 Comments

Mariel here. I am the person that consistently robs restaurants of the butterscotches in their free candy dishes. I am the reason you root through the strawberry and grape-flavored hard candies and wonder where on earth the good stuff is. Chances are, I beat you to the punch. When the cashier or hostess looks away,[…]

Mango Strudel

June 21, 2012 by Mariel Goodson 9 Comments

Mariel here. I must be insane. In addition to being about a million weeks pregnant, it’s also 95 degrees here in the northeast, so while most people are probably subsisting on cold deli sandwiches, gazpacho and tall glasses of something frosty, I decided to flip the oven on and bake a strudel for 30 minutes[…]

PB&J Brownies

May 8, 2012 by Mariel Goodson 5 Comments

Mariel here. In case the confluence of both Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby didn’t totally bust any buttons this past weekend, we thought we’d share this incredibly decadent, sinfully simple recipe for PB&J Brownies. Yes friends, it’s Peanut Butter Jelly time. We originally debuted this recipe as a guest post on one of[…]

Orange-Mango Upside-Down Cake

April 5, 2012 by Mariel Goodson 31 Comments

Mariel here. While my family isn’t particularly religious, we’ve always celebrated every holiday with a certain degree of religious zeal. When I was little, there were nearly as many decorations and preparations for Easter as there were for Christmas. We had an Easter tree flaunting hand-blown eggs that we painted on our front porch (my[…]

Chocolate-Dipped Butter Cookies with Toffee Crunch

March 27, 2012 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 10 Comments

Mary Anne here. A few weeks ago, I posted my devilishly decadent Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Heath Bar Toffee Frosting. They were a diet buster to be sure, but more annoying than that, they left me with a paltry amount of leftover toffee crunch. What to do? As you know by now, I am[…]

Mariel here. Well, the bridal shower we hosted went off without a hitch. Sort of.

February 24, 2012 by Mary Anne Rittenhouse 14 Comments

Mary Anne here. Chocolate + peanut butter, topped with Heath Bar bits = my idea of heaven! Not much more to say about this combo, other than that I should’ve come up with this before Lent! The inspiration for these sinful cupcakes arose in the baking aisle of my local grocery store. It seems that[…]

Mariel here. Every morning, I head out onto the mean streets of NYC and pound it out on the pavement for a full hour. Rain or shine, snow or wind, this daily jog helps clear my head and de-stress my perpetually anxious soul before hunkering down for an honest day’s work. It also has the[…]
