Chocolate Zucchini Cake
I love posts that have the labels “chocolate” and “vegetables” together. Sometimes it seems my main goal in life is figuring out how to fit chocolate into every meal. Still working on it. Chocolate-covered broccoli probably wouldn’t go over well with my crew. Or would it.. Back to reality! I made this cake last night […]
Cream Puff Cupcakes [My 500th Post!]
FIVE HUNDRED posts. Wow. That is a lot of food, people! I am amazed that the little food blog I started on a whim in September of 2008 has survived (and thrived!) until today. There’s been a little bit of everything here on Oven Love, hasn’t there? Lots of sweet desserts, tons of breakfast and […]
Stuffed French Toast Cupcakes
Happy Monday morning! If you were following on Facebook this weekend, you know that I was working on some new cupcake flavors for my 500th post- one based on a dessert and one based on a breakfast treat. This is the breakfast concoction- a berry-stuffed french toast cupcake! Begin drooling now. It isn’t my 500th […]
Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites
Sometimes I see a recipe somewhere and it just gets stuck in my head. I’ll think about making it time and time again; then it will start showing up in my dreams.. just another sign that I spend too much time thinking about food, yikes! A while back, I saw these cheesecake bites on Tessa’s […]
Irish Potato Candies
Forget the corned beef and cabbage. This is how to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. I’m assuming that if you’re not from Philly or Central PA, you’ve probably never heard of Irish Potatoes. Or maybe you have (sorry for assuming, you well-informed-blog-reader, you!) Either way, you’re in for a Philadelphia-style treat. As a Pennsylvania native, I […]
Chocolate Beet Cake
Recently, I’ve been getting into baking full-size cakes. It seems like there are never enough occasions that call for a big, beautiful cake. After having my cupcake business in Ohio, I am much more inclined to bake cakes than cupcakes now (like the rainbow cake and the strawberry cake). Since I was experimenting with […]
Sweet Beet Pancakes
Oh, how the times have changed. If you told me five years ago that I’d be recommending that you eat beets in any form, I would have laughed in your face. But here I am, about to tell you why you need to make beet pancakes- and soon. This weekend, I had my first experience […]
Coconut Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lesson learned so far in life with two babies: sometimes you will just need to make cookies. In some ways, parenting two has been easier than I thought. I bounced back from the birth easier, I am actually able to get us all out of the house in a decent amount of time, I can […]
Fresh Strawberry Cake with Cream Cheese Swiss Meringue Buttercream
I am considering this Lucy’s very first birthday cake. Okay, okay.. right now, it’s more for Mama than it is for little Lucy, but I will certainly make it for her again some day. Lucille Naomi joined the world a week ago today; at home, in the water, and much quicker than I expected. But […]
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
If you’re craving something sweet, rustic and easy to put together, than this cookie will be calling your name. Just looking at this iron skillet reminds me of summers spent at my family’s cabin- but that’s just nostalgia talking, since our typical treats up there were things like oatmeal pies and roasted marshmallows. But I […]
