Cupcake Obsession

Cupcake Obsession

Caroline and I love our cupcakes. Like a lot. There are mug cake recipes you can make in the microwave EVERYWHERE and I have tried plenty of them. But there’s something special about cupcakes made in the oven. Caroline posted this recipe over a year ago and it’s still my go-to recipe. This time I … Continue reading

BIRTHDAY: PART DOS

BIRTHDAY: PART DOS

Nobody just spends one day celebrating their birthday right? I thought I would continue Latte Issues’ birthday week by going through all the delicious things we have made this past year and create a “Best of” post.  Just a warning, it might be a bad idea to read this if you’re hungry. (Ps- thank you … Continue reading

M.I.A.

M.I.A.

Did you miss me? I’ve been MIA for awhile but don’t really know what has kept me from updating the blog besides life! Now that I’m working a normal 40hr per week job, I have more of a life and therefore will have more time to write. Just maybe not so many recipes to share … Continue reading

Blondies

Throwback to my blonde day(s) and our staple summer vacation in Maine. I could totally go for a day spent in the sun at the lake. I could also go for a big bowl of popcorn… For now I’m just going to have to enjoy these “brownies” that I made the other day in an … Continue reading

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Ice Cream

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Ice Cream

This is what happens when you are craving something sweet but you are restricted by Dietary restrictions (gluten free & dairy free) A strict budget (can’t go crazy at the grocery store) Laziness (too much effort to leave the house…you know what I’m talking about) That’s not soft serve ice cream…it’s a banana. Bananas make delicious desserts … Continue reading

Brown Butter & Coffee Sugar Cookies

Brown Butter & Coffee Sugar Cookies

These might just be the best cookies I’ve ever made. How could you go wrong with the combination of brown butter, coffee, and sugar? You could just use regular butter but going the extra step and browning the butter adds a deeper and nutty flavor. I made a gluten free version for my birthday and … Continue reading

This Sh*! is B-a-n-a-n-a-s

This Sh*! is B-a-n-a-n-a-s

Whenever I type the word bananas I think of Gwen Stefani and her song “Hollaback Girl” so thank you Gwen for the title of this post. The reason why I had to type bananas is because today I am sharing my favorite banana bread recipe. It’s a recipe my mom clipped from The Yankee Cook years … Continue reading

Banana Boat

Banana Boat

I spent the majority of my time yesterday in the kitchen cooking up some freezer friendly meals that will be perfect for the nights I don’t feel like cooking. These nights are rare but a healthy, homemade meal from the freezer is a much better/cheaper option than going out to eat. Afterwards, I was craving … Continue reading

Nutella Obsession

Nutella Obsession

I don’t think I can fully explain my love for Nutella. While studying abroad in Italy, we ate Nutella every day. We ate it straight out of the jar, on toast, as a topping for dessert pizza (yes Nutella pizza is actually a thing), or as a dip for the dry Italian chocolate chip cookies we … Continue reading

Sugar and Spice

Sugar and Spice

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas yesterday! Here’s what I made for the wonderful family that invited me into their home for Christmas. I decided to change it up and make a new type of biscotti, although this recipe will always be my favorite. This was the first time I made biscotti without a stand … Continue reading
