Celebratory Chocolate Brandy Cake

Celebratory Chocolate Brandy Cake

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve last posted here on Cassie’s Kitchen! It’s been pretty hectic over the past few weeks (months?) and my poor kitchen and blog have been sadly neglected. But I’m back, and I apologize profusely for keeping you from this decadent Chocolate Brandy Cake recipe because we have so many things to celebrate and what’s better to celebrate with than Chocolate…

Brown Butter Coconut Cookies

New Post!! Brown Butter Coconut Cookies

Since we’ve been on a brown butter kick lately (I mean, let’s be honest, when are we ever not on a brown butter kick), I figured why stop with corn bread when I have these delicious coconut cookies to share with you! Just when I thought it couldn’t get better than Joy the Baker’s Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies(seriously, have you tried them? They are the chocolate chip cookie to end all…

Brown Butter Skillet Corn Bread

New Post!! Brown Butter Skillet Corn Bread, the perfect recipe to accompany your warm winter stew

I’m a little ashamed to admit this, but I don’t own a cast iron skillet. Being an avid home cook who has been obsessed with cooking since I was 7, it seems silly that I don’t own this essential kitchen tool.  I have almost every pot, pan, knife and utensil a home cook would need, except the one that’s at the top of every “must need” list: a weathered, heavy cast-iron. Anytime I visit my parents…

Little known fact about me: I love chocolate.  Okay, that might have been obvious by now if you are a frequent visitor of my little part of these here interwebs, but seriously, I live for chocolate. I’m not even in the slightest bit embarrassed about admitting to the fact that I probably eat chocolate almost every day.  Most of the time, it’s just a small square, or a few chocolate chips, but I…

Flaky and Tender Buttermilk Biscuits

New Post!! Flaky and Tender Buttermilk Biscuits

One of the first recipes I can remember making as a child is buttermilk biscuits.  I made them for almost every holiday, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and often just because. I remember the first time I made them, wanting to follow the recipe exactly, I pulled out a ruler to measure 1/2 inch thickness. I was probably 7-8. True nerd from the beginning.  (more…)

Italian Stew with Winter Squash and Chickpeas

New Post! Make this Italian Stew with Winter Squash to help keep you warm during the storm! #winterrecipes

New York City, and the surrounding area are about to get dumped on by a massive snow storm.  People are flocking to the store, raiding the aisles, and stocking up on supplies to last them until Spring. Me? I cooked up this delicious pot of stew, and plan on holing up in my apartment and eating leftovers while the storm blankets the city’s sidewalks with snow.  I can’t think of a better…

Coconut Orange Bundt Cake with Coconut Whipped Cream #Bundtbakers

New Post!! A gluten-free, dairy-free healthier version of coconut cake on the blog! #bundtbakers

For the past few weeks, I’ve been making a conscious effort to eat healthy, which hasn’t been that difficult considering the endless amount of nutritious and delicious recipes on the internet. Eating more healthfully, for me, often means opting for cooking rather than ordering in, and I’ve been having a blast researching so many different recipes from some of my favorite cookbooks and…

Cranberry and Walnut Buckwheat Pancakes

New Post!! Healthy and delicious Cranberry and Walnut Buckwheat Pancakes, it's cold out! eat some comfort food!

As much as I curse winter – when the temperature outside approaches single digits and the walls of concrete skyscrapers lining 5th avenue turn into gail-force wind tunnels with threatening speeds that almost knock you into oncoming traffic; as much as I loath hurdling over the puddles of dirty ice water on every street corner, and the tingling sensation you get from defrosting your extremities…

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Flatbread with Creamy Greek Yogurt

New Post! Roasted Brussels Sprouts Flatbread with Creamy Greek Yogurt #MadeWithCobani

If your holidays were anything like mine, they were filled with an heart-warming array of family, friends, laughter, and cheer.  Our celebrations were also filled with copious amounts of cookies, cakes, gratins, casseroles, cheese, bread, sugar, and of course, lots and lots of wine. To top it all off, I went with a big group of friends on a ski vacation to Whistler, BC over New Year’s, and while…
