Peanut Butter, Banana, and Oat Milkshake

Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, Toasted Marshmallow Cupcakes

May 26, 2011

I’m totally a good person to surprise. If you tell me that you’re stuck in Seattle working all weekend, and you can’t come down for my birthday, I’ll believe you. I’ll believe you, because I love you and you’re not a liar. If you tell me that you’re working away in Phoenix, and you simple [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

February 11, 2011

Listen up dearhearts. I made banana bread with peanut butter in it. It’s a good idea and you should totally jump on this bandwagon. I like the word bandwagon. It makes me want to wear bellbottoms.

Peanut Butter Pecan Biscotti

January 30, 2011

My life is so orderly. Most afternoons I make up a pot of coffee, whip up some cookies, take out my fancy napkins and invite a friend over for coffee. Nothing is ever out of place. My hair is always shiny and perfect. My lipstick never wears off. I could totally walk down a read [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Brownies

December 16, 2010

Yesterday I got an email letter. It went a little something like this. Dear Ms. the Baker, Hi there… blah blah blaaah. I often feel the urge to eat like a trucker. Blah blah blaaaah. I always want french fries and hot dogs and meat loaf and steak. Blaah blaah blaaaaah. Today I almost ate [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows

September 20, 2010

Maybe I should just start a blog about peanut butter and chocolate. That seems to be most of what goes on around here, right?

No-Bake Peanut Butter Tart

August 29, 2010

How’s your will power? Mine seriously sucks. No joke. Here I am in a house with a a box of Oreo cookies in the pantry, Raspberry Yogurt Popsicles in the freezer…. and a giant slice of this No-Bake Peanut Butter Tart in the fridge. I probably shouldn’t tell you that I’m thinking of cooking up [...]

Peanut Butter Meets Chocolate

August 4, 2010

I went to a meeting yesterday… I went to one of those fancy LA-type meetings. Think: television executives, fancy open office, exposed brick walls, Apple computers, too cool for school/ultra hip staff… and me in last year’s twelve dollar Target sandals. Um….. It was intimidating. I sat up straight and hid my shoes. Know what [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

May 31, 2010

This dessert is not healthy. It’s not subtle. It’s not revolutionary. It hurts. Chocolate and peanut butter piled on top of peanut butter and chocolate. There’s sugar too… and it hurts. These cupcakes hurt your diet. They hurt your teeth. They destroy your morning workout. They’re bad for puppies. They upset kittens. Big-eyed baby cows [...]

Peanut Butter Blondies with Milk Chocolate Frosting

November 29, 2009

In my kitchen this past week I’ve managed to burn my Thanksgiving brussels sprouts, make a bum batch of chocolate brownies, crack my favorite coffee mug and somehow spill a half bottle of red wine under…UNDER my refrigerator. Additionally, since my kitchen seems to be a vortex of ill fate, I’ve refused to do the [...]

Lauren’s Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

October 26, 2009

Have I introduced you to my little sister Lauren? Lauren… this is everyone. Everyone… this is Lauren. Lauren and I grew up in the kitchen together. We made brownies, we burnt cookies, we frosted crooked cakes, and we could plow through a box of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch in 10 minutes flat. We were always [...]

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

April 21, 2009

This I Used To Believe I believed that if I wore a stretched out paperclip across my front teeth I would be one of the cool kids with a retainer. It turns our that retainers only seem cool when you don’t actually have to wear one. I believed that if I sunk down in my [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

February 18, 2009

Pie takes time. Pie requires attentions. Pie demands love and care. Pie, even for an everyday baker like me, is a lost art. I needed a good, old fashioned, pie contest to help me slow down, take a breath, and dream up the most delicious pie I could. The most delicious thing I could dream [...]

How To Make Homemade Peanut Butter

February 16, 2009

Some things in the world are just too too easy. Peanut butter is one of those things. I suppose those easy things work to compliment the tasks in life that are far too complicated for their own good. These complicated tasks include, but are not limited to, matching your socks fresh out of the dryer, [...]

Peanut Butter Fudge Treats

December 5, 2008

Some things are over the top for even me. Some things are so good that they actually hurt. I’m a real sucker for all chocolate and peanut butter combinations… but really!? Chocolate, peanut butter AND Rice Krispy Treats? Out of control. I think I pulled a baking muscle. These bars are so rich, so over [...]

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream

July 23, 2008

A warning about this ice cream- don’t make it if you’re not prepared to eat the entire batch in one sitting and feel sick afterwards. Don’t do it. Don’t even think about making this ice cream if you think this is the kind of dessert that sits in the freezer waiting for after dinner, or [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

March 20, 2008

I often find myself with several bags of chocolate chips roaming freely in my cabinets. Today I found large milk chocolate chips, mini semi-sweet chips and white chocolate chips. When I bake cookies, I usually chop chocolate from a large bar of good chocolate, so it’s strange that I would find so many varieties of [...]
