- [December 2025 Reading Recap + 2025 Faves](https://www.totallylucy.com/2026/01/december-2025-reading-recap-2025-faves/) - December’s reading recap is short and sweet, almost like how the holidays were this year. Busy holiday season meant I didn’t have much time to read but I’m glad I managed to read a holiday themed novella to wrap up the season. See what I read in December, and then keep reading to see my
- [Book Review: Sweet Heat by Bolu Babalola](https://www.totallylucy.com/2025/12/book-review-sweet-heat-by-bolu-babalola/) - Sweet Heat by Bolu Babalola was actually a highly anticipated read for me, having read Honey and Spice ages ago. I kind of went in blind and didn’t realize that this story brought back the original gang of characters from Honey and Spice. Typically, I don’t like reading about the same main characters after I’ve
- [Reading Recap: November 2025](https://www.totallylucy.com/2025/12/reading-recap-november-2025/) - Unfortunately (for me), November’s reading recap is incredibly brief. Not only did I struggle to read all month in general, I DNFed two books and the one book I did manage to read completely was a novella – though nothing wrong with a novella. I haven’t been in the mood to read and the books
- [Reading Recap: October 2025](https://www.totallylucy.com/2025/11/reading-recap-october-2025/) - October’s reading recap wasn’t very spooky – unless you count reading a couple of misses back to back as spooky. Unfortunately, most of my picks for this month didn’t quite do it for me; I had one DNF and then two of the others weren’t captivating enough for me. I thought I was on the
- [Reading Recap: September 2025](https://www.totallylucy.com/2025/10/reading-recap-september-2025/) - Happy fall y’all! September was another brief reading month, a trend at this point, where I managed to read three great books back to back. I don’t think that’s ever happened – three 5 star books in a row – but I’m so glad it did. I loved all three of these books, and still
- [Book Review: Mamey by Anny Caba](https://www.totallylucy.com/2025/09/book-review-mamey-by-anny-caba/) - Mamey, A Spanglish Novel, follows the story of Dena and her mother Gloria, who has passed away. Dena is on her way back to the Dominican Republic to bury her mother and stay for the novena, which are nine days of prayer dedicated to the deceased. After something happens at Gloria’s funeral, Dena is left
- [An oven by any other name...](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/07/an-oven-by-any-other-name/) - ...bakes just as good. What's in an oven? Lots of things, that's for sure. Living in a small New York City kitchen, space is of the essence. Now, I love being in the kitchen but it is difficult to maneuver when the kitchen's size resembles a shoebox. Well, what does one with space issues do?
- [Zucchini Bread and a Trip to the Farmer's Market](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/07/zucchini-bread/) - This summer has been a hot one! With so much sweat and stickiness, baking (and cooking) seems like an overwhelming feat. Since my last post, I've been mulling over what my first recipe post was going to be. I obviously wanted to start out with something sweet but this heat was discouraging me. Determined to
- [Whole Wheat Good Old Fashioned Pancakes](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/08/whole-wheat-good-old-fashioned-pancakes/) - When my sister and I were younger, my mom used to make us a pancake breakfast every Saturday. We'd wake up and watch cartoons, ready to have our delicious weekly special. And special it was! My mom has never been one to follow recipes and this was no different. She'd buy a giant box of
- [Carrot Cake and Mistakes](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/08/carrot-cake-and-mistakes/) - I actually wasn't going to make this post. I messed up a part of the recipe and it didn't exactly come out 'picture perfect.' I thought about it and realized that there was probably a lesson in this failure, which reminded me of how I even started baking in the first place. In my senior
- [Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/08/whole-wheat-dinner-rolls/) - August is coming to an end, and it's already feeling like fall. Besides associating the fall with anything and everything pumpkin, fall to me means quality carbs. I'm talking bread, cookies, pies, muffins, scones and anything in between. I mean, how can you not associate fall with carbs? It is the beginning of the baking
- [Cinnamon Raisin Bread](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/09/cinnamon-raisin-bread/) - There's nothing like a little draft in the air to inspire me to bake. I've been having a little bit of a baking cold spell lately. I had a few things planned for the last couple of weeks but life got in the way. Since the summer heat has generally died down, I am ready
- [Roasted Butternut Squash and A Name Change](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/09/roasted-butternut-squash-and-a-name-change/) - As the title of this post implies, I have renamed this blog. I thought about doing this for a while, and decided to take the plunge. "Toaster Oven Confections" is now "Lucy the Baker." Why the change? Well, since beginning this blog, I have hardly used my toaster oven for anything. All of the baked
- [Orange Scones](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/10/orange-scones/) - Another day, another recipe I mess up! This was my first time making scones, and after having my sister nag me for weeks to make some, I caved. I scoured the internet and several cookbooks, in search for a recipe that seemed doable for me. Looking for recipes is like trying to find a needle
- [Cinnamon Rolls](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/10/cinnamon-rolls/) - A couple of weeks ago, I had a dream with some cinnamon rolls. In the dream, I baked a batch of rolls that iced themselves. Like, they came out of the oven with a layer of creamy, and melty cream cheese icing. I woke up determined to make something like that, and finally got to
- [Apple Cake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/10/apple-cake/) - My dad is a huge fan of apple desserts, which is an odd thing in itself because he doesn't like many things. You give him anything with apples and he'll be a happy camper; apple pie, strudel, danishes, muffins, donuts, oatmeal, etc. This week, I decided to make something that I knew he would just
- [Pizza Two Ways](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/10/pizza-two-ways/) - Ah, pizza. One of my favorite ways to get my carb fix. I haven't had pizza in forever, so I was definitely due. My sister and I used to regularly indulge in a slice from our local pizzeria, where they'd heat up and fold our slices into a brown paper bag. We would pull out
- [Autumn Mix Cupcakes](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/10/autumn-mix-cupcakes/) - Happy Halloween! Although I don't really celebrate and get dressed up, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because I love watching others display their creative side. Another reason is obviously the candy. When I was a kid, we went trick or treating only a handful of times because it was difficult for us to
- [DIY Pumpkin Puree and Pumpkin Pie Spice](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/11/diy-pumpkin-puree-and-pumpkin-pie-spice/) - Now that Halloween is over, we can all concentrate on the next holiday in the lineup: Thanksgiving. The following day after Halloween, I saw an onslaught of Christmas stuff everywhere. Ads are already popping up on TV, big toy books from Target and Toys R Us have landed at my door, and the seasonal aisle
- [Pumpkin Scones](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/11/pumpkin-scones/) - Since making my own pumpkin puree a couple days ago, I have been brainstorming a bunch of different pumpkin recipes. I'm thinking about pumpkin everything; muffins, bread, cookies, cupcakes, etc. I want to make it all! I feel kind of late to the pumpkin party, though. Many people have already moved on to Christmas flavors
- [Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Muffins](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/11/pumpkin-cinnamon-streusel-muffins/) - I wasn't going to make this post. I made these muffins over the weekend, on a whim, and had kind of less than stellar results. But because I am compelled to share everything, here is my latest kitchen failure. I still have some homemade pumpkin puree and am still looking for awesome things to put
- [Sweet Corn Muffins](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/11/sweet-corn-muffins/) - Corn muffins are my dad's absolute favorite kind of baked good. If he ever went to Muffin World, a fictional land where all kinds of muffins are laid before you to devour, he'd chose the corn muffin every single time. He even says that the corn muffin is the "true" muffin, whatever that means. Since
- [Thanksgiving: The Day After](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/11/thanksgiving-the-day-after/) - Happy Thanksgiving! Or Black Friday, if you're into that. I hope you all had a fabulous day full of awesome food and new memories with your families. At my house, we did it up like we usually do every year. We're Dominican, so our Thanksgiving is nothing like the "traditional" American dinner. We don't have
- [Sugar Cookies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/12/sugar-cookies/) - December is the month of cookies. I have been patiently waiting for this month, even with the unwanted onslaught of all things Christmas since November 1st. Cookies are a traditionally a December thing, and I wanted to get in on the action. When I started baking, I mainly stuck to cakes. Cookies looked so easy
- [Coconut Macaroons](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/12/coconut-macaroons/) - During my December cookie planning, I knew I had to make something that included coconut. My family is basically made up of coconut fiends. We're Dominican, so we love us some coconut however we can get it. When my family and I travel to the Dominican Republic, one of my favorite places, we eat it
- [Gingerbread Cookies and Rookie Mistakes](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/12/gingerbread-cookies-and-rookie-mistakes/) - Gingerbread cookies are definitely my favorite Christmas cookie. I remember my mom used to buy us those boxes of Little Debbie Gingerbread Men when my sister and I were kids. They were my very favorite, besides the Oatmeal Creme Pies. The box used to bring about eight, and my sister and I would tear into those gingies
- [Crunchy Peppermint Bark](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/12/crunchy-peppermint-bark/) - I feel like Christmas pretty much snuck up on me this year. It's weird because when I was a kid, we'd count down the days til Christmas, dreaming of the gifts and the good times with family. For some reason, that holiday spirit is diminished this year. Seemingly without any warning, Christmas is only a
- [Christmas (Eve) Wrap Up](https://www.totallylucy.com/2013/12/christmas-eve-wrap-up/) - Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday, full of great times with family and plenty of gifts, drinks and good food. Per our family traditions, we celebrate Christmas Eve. Back in the D.R., they celebrate Christmas Eve and open presents on January 6th, also known as Epiphany or Three Kings Day. Here
- [Happy New Year!](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/01/happy-new-year/) - Welcome 2014! It's already been a couple days and I haven't really stopped celebrating. A day after everyone else has welcomed the new year, I celebrate the addition of another year to my life. I have to say, having a birthday right after the holidays can sometimes suck. When I was younger, I hated my
- [No Bake Energy Bites](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/01/no-bake-energy-bites/) - It's January, which means that troves of people made the exact same New Year's resolution; "I want to lose __ pounds this year!" No offense to those who make resolutions, but let's be real for a second. How many people who make this resolution actually stick it out? Come January, everything and everyone is all
- [Martha's Mac and Cheese](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/01/marthas-mac-and-cheese/) - Last week's Polar Vortex inspired me to make something that wasn't dessert. I have to be honest, I'm not much of a cook. I prefer baking because it's formulaic, and that gives me reassurance that it'll work every single time. I mean, it's science; when has science ever been wrong? Anyway, I don't like cooking
- [No Knead Sandwich Bread](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/01/no-knead-sandwich-bread/) - I know I've mentioned this here before (several times, actually) but my family and I are carb lovin' fiends. We all have this immense love for bread. It's actually kind of shocking how much bread four people can go through! It is a definite staple in my house, and the fancier the better. The biggest
- [Infinitely Adaptable Blondies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/01/infinitely-adaptable-blondies-2/) - What happens when you throw in almost every single ingredient from your pantry into a bowl of batter? You get these blondies. For those not familiar with blondies, they are the chocolatey brownie's cousin. Or its hot sister, depending on who you ask. It's basically an amalgamation of butter, brown sugar, flour, and anything you
- [Honey Whole Wheat Bread](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/02/honey-whole-wheat-bread/) - Another loaf of bread! I have been definitely getting almost knee deep in some bread dough lately and while it is a challenge, I love it. This is my second documented attempt at sandwich bread. It's actually my fourth or fifth attempt at a sandwich loaf; the others were not reserved for this blog! I
- [Red Velvet Whoopie Pies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/02/red-velvet-whoopie-pies/) - Happy Valentine's Day! I planned this post, at least a month in advance. That's just my style; I plan as far in advanced as I can. But no matter how much I plan and prepare, something almost always goes wrong. I knew I wanted to make something on theme for this week's festivities. Valentine's day
- [Homemade Samoas](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/02/homemade-samoas/) - Tis the season -- for Girl Scout cookies! It's that time of year again; when adorable little girls peddle their green boxes of awesome, in exchange for some cash for their troop. Many of you probably grew up with these cookies, or were even a Girl Scout! I did not. I was born and raised
- [Buttermilk Biscuits](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/02/buttermilk-biscuits/) - Biscuits are one of the perfect breakfast foods; next to pancakes and oatmeal, of course. Yes, oatmeal is in the top three but that's a story for another time. Anyway, biscuits are perfect because like rolls, they are the perfect vehicle for a number of different fillings and toppings, and don't necessarily have to be
- [Sticky Toffee Pudding Cupcakes](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/03/sticky-toffee-pudding-cupcakes/) - Before making this recipe, my sister decided she wanted to make it herself. I asked her if she would write a guest post and she accepted! Below is my sister Marilyn's guest post! Enjoy! Currently, Lucy is the resident baker at our apartment but there used to be a time where I was the baker.
- [Brownies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/03/brownies/) - Brownies are one of my favorite chocolate desserts. We go way back, but they have been forgotten recently as my sister and I have been on a blondie kick for the past couple of years. Yes, it has been years since I made a batch of brownies! Crazy, but true. When my sister and I
- [Cinnamon Raisin Coconut Bread Pudding](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/03/cinnamon-raisin-coconut-bread-pudding/) - A large bag of sliced white bread recently came into my possession, and I didn't really know what to do with it. In my house, we eat homemade whole wheat bread (~special snowflake alert~) because it doesn't make my head hurt, and because it's easy to make. We stopped buying bread months ago, so eating
- [Banana Bread](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/03/banana-bread/) - I love bananas. Not only are they delicious, but they're accessible and go well with pretty much anything. I have yet to meet anyone who hates bananas (besides Ree but I've never met her, though). I am down to eat bananas in any shape, way or form; except when they're brown and spotty. I know
- [Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/04/chocolate-chip-cookies/) - I am not a big fan of making cookies. I love eating cookies but making them has always been a chore to me. I don't know, but there's something about the process being longer than the actual baking times that has always messed me up. That, and my adversity to butter didn't really help. Now,
- [Kitchen Experiments: Meringues](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/04/kitchen-experiments-meringues/) - Meringues have always been one of my favorite mystery kitchen experiments. I never really understood how or what was required to make these yummy things, or how simple it actually is. My first tastes of meringue were courtesy of traditional Dominican desserts. Our birthday cakes are covered in meringue frosting, similar to seven minute icing.
- [Baked Mini Doughnuts](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/04/baked-mini-doughnuts/) - Doughnuts have been on my to-make list for what feels like an eternity. It's one of those simple desserts that seems approachable but is really elusive; at least to me. Doughnuts (or donuts) are really flippin' delicious. My favorite is probably jelly because hello, raspberry filling plus granulated sugar on a puff of fried dough
- [Hot Cross Buns](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/04/hot-cross-buns/) - My family isn't really into holidays. If I'm not at the helm of the celebrations, nothing actually gets celebrated. I'm usually the one in charge of Christmas and Thanksgiving, along with birthdays and any other festivities. That's because I love traditions, and even though our Easter traditions died with my youth, I'm tempted to resurrect
- [Fluffy Vanilla Cake with Whipped Strawberry Frosting](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/04/fluffy-vanilla-cake-with-whipped-strawberry-frosting/) - We celebrated my sister's birthday last Monday, and of course there was cake. Every special occasion is a chance for me to practice my baker skillz, so there's no doubt I took advantage of my sister's birthday and made her something super special. These days, I tend to make something for any occasion; my own birthday,
- [Brown Sugar Cookies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/05/brown-sugar-cookies/) - I happen to be somewhat of a people pleaser. I made chocolate chip cookies again recently, since they were such a hit with my folks. My dad actually asked me after the first batch was all gone when I'd make them again, so I did; except they were now a problem. My mom came to me,
- [Strawberry Shortcake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/05/strawberry-shortcake/) - My mom is the main reason I got in the kitchen. Since I was a little girl, there was always a permanent seat in the kitchen for me. At first, I would just watch her do her thing. To me, it was magical. I'd ask for a kitchen set for Christmas almost every year, just
- [Light and Airy Pound Cake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/05/light-and-airy-pound-cake/) - I'm having the worst case of baker's block. I've been feeling a little uninspired lately about everything kitchen related, and it's catching up to me. I usually have my weekly baking excursions planned at least a month in advanced but I haven't done that since March. I don't know, I guess I'm going through a bit
- [Kitchen Experiments: Orangettes](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/05/kitchen-experiments-orangettes/) - Orange is definitely one of my favorite flavors. Along with the other citrus fruits, oranges are full of freshness and flavor. One of my favorite things to do is actually peel an orange by hand. I like to get my fingers in there and just pull back the peel, and watch the orange oils just
- [Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/06/cinnamon-streusel-coffee-cake/) - I don’t have much to say this week, except that I fulfilled my craving for coffee cake. More specifically, I fulfilled my craving for a crumb topping. I was watching the Food Network, as I usually do all day, every single day. I don’t remember what show I was watching exactly, but they were making something
- [Oatmeal Raisin Cookies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/06/oatmeal-raisin-cookies/) - Oatmeal raisin cookies are my #1 favorite cookie. I'm talking about homemade cookies, because if this were the store bought category, Oreos will forever remain #1. Overall, they're both tied. To me, oatmeal raisin cookies are superior to chocolate chip or sugar. There's just no way any other cookie is better. I know there are
- [Golden Vanilla No Churn Ice Cream Cake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/06/golden-vanilla-no-churn-ice-cream-cake/) - As evidenced by several posts on here, I am very much a traditionalist. I love celebrating holidays, more so when they celebrate the people I love. Father's day was this Sunday, and I couldn't really go without making anything. As a kid, I used to hand make cards for every occasion. Tons of construction paper,
- [Coconut Lime Scones](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/06/coconut-lime-scones/) - Summer has entered the building. I don't know, I feel like we skipped a season. Spring was barely here, with all these weird cold fronts that happened when we were supposed to have cool weather. It's like it went from winter to summer without any notice! While I can't get spring back, might as well
- [Blueberry Crumb Bars](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/07/blueberry-crumb-bars/) - Happy Independence Day! Well, not yet but I do like to get ahead of myself sometimes. I know for a fact that there will be cookouts, parties, potlucks, and all other kinds of celebrations going on this weekend. It's fabulous that people gather to celebrate a common thing, surrounded by patriotism and a ton of
- [Coconut Popsicles](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/07/coconut-popsicles/) - It has gotten too hot to bake. I never thought I'd type those words! I mean, even in this sweltering heat, I am still planning on firing up the oven at least once a week. It's still too hot to bake but I'm still planning on it! As a sort of apology to my folks
- [1st Blogaversary! - Chocolate Mug Cake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/07/1st-blogaversary-chocolate-mug-cake/) - It's my blog's birthday! My tiny baby is now one. I can't even believe its been a year already; it went by so fast! I have to say, I never expected my blog to grow into something like this. Granted, its still a baby and has tons to grow but I feel like we're onto
- [Pineapple Upside Down Cornmeal Cake](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/07/pineapple-upside-down-cornmeal-cake/) - These past two weeks have been so hectic! I started working for my cousins at their grocery store and what was supposed to be a light and easy gig turned into a full time bout of responsibility in a matter of minutes. They needed someone to cashier for them a couple times a week and
- [Kitchen Experiments: Chocolate Souffle](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/07/kitchen-experiments-chocolate-souffle/) - Souffles always seemed like a mythical dessert to me. I've heard so many good and bad things about them, mostly about how finicky and difficult they are to pull off. The only time I've seen them is on TV, being made by professionals who know the ins and outs of this show stopping and fantastical
- [Granola Bars](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/08/granola-bars/) - Granola bars, to me, are the perfect snack. Granted, I wouldn't eat them alone as a snack but they go so well with a piece of fruit or alongside a sandwich for a quick lunch. When I started college, I made sure I always had something on me and granola bars were my go-to. I
- [Key Lime Pies in Jars for Two](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/08/key-lime-pies-in-jars-for-two/) - We are not pie people. We're Dominican, and pies aren't a thing over there. In fact, my folks were introduced to pie here in the U.S. Luckily, while I do consider myself Dominican, I am American by default. I am forever trying to tie American culture with our Dominican heritage and most of the time,
- [No Churn Coffee Ice Cream and DIY Cone Cups](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/08/no-churn-coffee-ice-cream-and-diy-cone-cups/) - It finally looks like summer is winding down. It's weird because it feels like this summer was short but it was still uncomfortably hot. One of my favorite things about the heat (if not the only thing) is the fact that I get to eat ice cream. I LOVE ice cream and eat it pretty much year
- [Baked Chickpea Fritters](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/08/baked-chickpea-fritters/) - I have no idea where or when I ate my first falafel but I do know that it was love at first bite. I think it was my sister who introduced me to the magic that is that tiny ball of crunchy and fluffy chickpeas. Since then, I've been OBSESSED. I try to get my
- [Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/09/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-granola/) - I left you guys with an amazing granola bar recipe a couple weeks ago, and am back with another. This one isn't for bars, though but is equally as delicious. The same week I posted about these bars, Dana from Minimalist Baker, posted this super simple recipe for granola. If you don't know who Dana
- [Kitchen Experiments: Bagels](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/09/kitchen-experiments-bagels/) - Bagels have been on my list for the longest; probably since I started baking bread. I don't know why it took me so long to get to them. I guess it was probably because everything about bagels seemed so daunting. I also thought a stand mixer was required for these kinds of things. While they may
- [Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/09/yellow-cupcakes-with-chocolate-frosting/) - Every baker has their own arsenal of classic recipes. They all have their preferred versions of almost anything, but not many discuss how long it took them to get to that choice of a recipe. I'm still very much a beginner baker, and as I try to build my own arsenal, there's tons of trial
- [Pizza Crust Redux](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/09/pizza-crust-redux/) - I posted not one, but TWO different pizza crust recipes on here last year. Since then, I've made a lot more pizza than I'd like to admit but didn't use the same crust recipe each time. While the ones I posted were delicious, I started looking for something else. All of a sudden, I had
- [Apple Cinnamon Muffins](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/10/apple-cinnamon-muffins/) - Ah, the fall. It's finally getting chilly, the leaves are falling, and I can wear a jacket out without immediately suffering from heatstroke. I'm excited about the weather and upcoming holidays, among other fall things. The best part about the fall, though, is that the best fruits and vegetables are now in season! Of course
- [Kitchen Experiments: Pilot Cookies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/10/kitchen-experiments-pilot-cookies/) - Recipe development has always scared me. I've been baking for a while now, so it was only a matter of time until I finally made something up myself. Baking is a science and that means that if things aren't exact in the formula, it can go south fairly quickly. I set out on trying my
- [Apple Cinnamon Scones](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/10/apple-cinnamon-scones/) - I've had scones on the brain since the last time I made them, which feels like it was ages ago. There's something awesome about scones that makes me want to keep eating them all the time and forever. It might be all the butter and cream, to be honest. Since I have been dreaming about
- [Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/10/cinnamon-pull-apart-bread/) - When the weather finally starts to chill out, all I want to do is eat something warm and cinnamon-y. My folks have been nagging me to make cinnamon rolls again. Been there, done that. Instead, I looked for something similar that'll please my folks, and give me something new to make. I've been seeing pull apart
- [Pinwheel Sugar Cookies](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/10/pinwheel-sugar-cookies/) - I am so not here for holidays skipping over each other. Like, Halloween is this Friday and my local drugstore already has their Christmas stuff up! It's absolutely crazy! The wall of Christmas lights and a small assortment of ornaments are right next to the Halloween candy. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but
- [Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Whiskey Chocolate Ganache Filling](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/11/chocolate-stout-cupcakes-with-whiskey-chocolate-ganache-filling/) - For the first time ever, I went to a Halloween party. Well, to be fair, it was more of a "get together" than a party. There's a difference. My CO*OP family and I got together at our founder's house for snacks, games, and super intense discussions on rousing topics. As the self proclaimed class baker,
- [Kitchen Experiments: Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/11/kitchen-experiments-baked-cinnamon-apple-chips/) - So far, I've been all about apples this fall. Besides the two awesome recipes I've posted thus far, this one is a favorite: the simple and delicious baked apple chip. It all started years ago, when I bought a bag of apple chips that brought like, three in the bag. I loved them but was
- [Apple Galette](https://www.totallylucy.com/2014/11/apple-galette/) - Thanksgiving kind of snuck up on me this year. I've been anticipating it since early October but I'm still shocked it's actually next week! I'm even more shocked because I have nothing planned yet, which is SO not me.
