In this 8-month preggo gal’s opinion, it’s never too early to prepare for the holidays, and Grandma Galdin’s signature rocky road is easily the most popular item requested of The Galdin clan every holiday season. Maybe September is a bit early to start referring to the “holiday season” but when you’re pregnant, you can make the […]

Truffle Dreams
Get In My Belly!
The holidays are for gluttony, am I right? I swear to you there is only one time of year that I feel completely justified in making truffles, and that is when the clock strikes midnight on Halloween and it officially becomes “the holidays.” Christmas music fills my head, pumpkin-spice everything haunts my every waking moment, […]

Get In My Belly!, I am THE Cookie Monster
I celebrated my birthday recently and was lucky enough to be surrounded by my friends and family. My amazing parents opened up their home so I could host a big pool party with 30 or so of the loveliest people in my life. I was a few delicious adult beverages into the festivities when a […]

Get In My Belly!, I am THE Cookie Monster
Contrary to popular belief, my baking escapades aren’t always filled with sunshine and rainbows. Usually, when it’s really important, my bacon is burning, I’ve simmered the garlic too long, I can’t find the cocoa powder, and (drumroll please), I’ve dropped my iPhone in melted chocolate. When I say dropped my iPhone in melted chocolate, what […]

Basic Brownies From Scratch
Brownies & Bars, Get In My Belly!
Let’s get one thing straight- I am soooo not above store bought cake, muffin or brownie mixes from a box. I mean, Pillsbury has clearly done something right, as there is just no messing with the culinary genius of Funfetti… That being said, sometimes, “from scratch,” is a nice option. For example, when I need […]
