The Bakery Triple Layer Decadent Brownies Sometimes I’m so clumsy, I surprise myself. I’ll be walking down the street, see an object on the floor and think: Just keep a foot’s distance from it and you’ll be good. Yet somehow, despite this very active warning in my head, I’ve managed to trip over the said … More The Bakery Triple Layer Decadent – Brownies

I LOVE birthdays, whether it’s mine (preferred) or anyone else! I get very excited, like countdown to the day type of excited. Birth day is birth week and all of that. I’m basically 5 years old again with my level of excitement, but I figure it is one day of the year that is totally … More Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting
Since it’s Ramadan now, I typically like to have some friends over for an Iftar and with these friends I have to make lasagna. They’ve been on my case for a year to make them lasagna again and I’ve been useless in actually doing this. I guess it is time now. Anyways, totally a tangent, … More Chocolate chip brownies
