the irish

Irish cream, pralines, coffee and pound cake in a jar.

It doesn't have to be homemade.

Yes. I did it the "old fashioned" way and I've written recipes for every part of this thing -- they're all down below.

But if you just want to buy the cake, the cream, the pralines -- do it.

Spike the whipped cream with Irish Cream.

Crush up the pralines.

Soak -- and I mean really soak -- cubes of pound cake in super strong coffee and Kahlua.

Then drop them in a jar, chill and lick...

lemon-iced blueberry muffins and the winner is...

Muffins!

I don't know. I think muffins can suck sometimes. A lot of times. I rarely make them. 

But I read somewhere about how to nail that muffin texture I was looking for.

It had to do with really thick batter. So I nixed any ideas I had about adding lemon juice to my batter and stuck with zest. 

And tangy Greek yogurt.

And lots of blueberries.

But! I have to interrupt my muffin talk with a side note.

A cookie note.

yum yums

I've been craving toasted marshmallow, so I worked it right into this cookie candy family I'm building.

First, it was coconut crunch cookie candy.

Then, a few days ago -- Biscoff & chocolate.

Now, s'mores!

Big pillows of toasted marshmallow.

Lots of melty chocolate chips.

All on one big crispy-crunchy, buttery cookie.

This definitely satisfied my craving.
