Don’t need much of an introduction for these yummy pops, besides mentioning that they’re CRAZY easy to make and I used a slightly ghetto cake-pop method. What! I wanted cake pops fast and I was tired! Jeez, a chef can take some shortcuts! Anyways, I used Betty Crocker chocolate Chip Cookie mix and instead of …
I recently was gifted the recipe book- ‘What’s New Cupcake?’ by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. Let me just say this is probably my new favorite cookbook! Every cupcake is like a cartoon! Bears, race cars, golf course- you name it, it’s a cupcake! The first one to catch my eye was the Walrus! I …
This past weekend I decided to FINALLY use my Groupon for Mariebelle Cacao Bar/Tea Salon. Before we get into the review of Mariebelle, let me just say that I bought this Groupon in August and decided to use it NOW only because I had remembered to star it in my gmail inbox. Otherwise, that would’ve …
I don’t know how else to describe this ice cream, but other than decadent goodness (with not as much fat as you might think!) Also it’s not that difficult to make and its definitely a crowd pleaser. I made it for Thanksgiving to accompany our Pecan and Pumpkin pies and it was heavenly. Creamy dulce …
I feel like when a person hears ‘Starbucks‘ or ‘Peet’s Coffee‘ or ‘Gloria Jeans‘ they relate it to whip cream, holiday drinks and FAT.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of Starbucks. I am probably that girl who’s tried every one of their chocolate drinks, caramel drinks and limited edition drinks- I’m that obsessed. But as a former student and future student again (yes, thrilling I know), I know what it’s like to live on a …
Traditionally, Hindus are not supposed to consume meat or eggs during Diwali celebrations. Well, I pretty much have the no meat portion down considering I’m vegetarian, but I DO eat a lot of eggs, so I was trying to think of some non-Indian dessert recipes that can be made eggless. My family and I are …
So for those of you who don’t know this is probably the most celebrated and festive time of the year for Indians- DIWALI! Generally translated as the “festival of lights” it’s our New Years, and Indian house-holds are lit with colorful lights, candles (deepas) and we do fireworks! If you go to Indian at this …
I was browsing through blogs one day on foodgawker and I came across these really cute chocolate pumpkin cupcakes. I thought they were so festive for this time of the year and I loved the creative combination of chocolate and pumpkin! I decided to make these cupcakes using my babycakes machine (still in LOVE with …
