BrokeAss Gourmet, The premier food, wine and lifestyle blog for people who want to live the high life on the cheap. Joy the Baker — I feel like I’m grasping tight to the things around me these days. I’m probably the first to shrug off the change of season, the change of moving cities, and the change of traveling a ton as no big deal…. but it all adds up to matter and I have to admit I feel a little crazy in the brain. This season I’ve started a new workout routine. Since I’ve moved away from my beloved SoulCycle in California, I’ve started practicing Bikram Yoga in New Orleans. I’m terrible. Who knew bending could be so dang challenging?

Cream Cheese Stuffed Coffee Cake It might seem strange to see the author of “the healthy dessert blog” holding a book all about junk food. Contrary to what one might assume from reading the title of my blog, however, I don’t only eat healthy food 100% of the time. And I don’t think I am any less healthy for it. Mocha Cupcakes with Espresso Buttercream Frosting You’ll be happy to know that I have recovered from my epic kitchen fail, the oven is sparkling, and to celebrate I give you these amazing mocha cupcakes with espresso buttercream frosting. Plus, it’s Friday. And cupcakes are a perfect way to welcome the weekend with open arms. It’s been a crazy, messy, stormy week, and you deserve one. I might even go so far as to suggest that you should just skip your morning cup of coffee or trip to Starbucks and have one of these instead.

It’s worth reading twice. And if you’re like me, you need to read it twice for the words to register: Samoas Girl Scout Cookie Pie. Earlier this week, when I posted the recipe for Copycat Tagalong Cookies, I hinted at having also made homemade Samoas (and Thin Mints; those are coming soon). My Samoas recipe still needs some work, but I didn’t want to leave you Samoa-less this week… so I sought help! Enter Regan Jones, RD of The Professional Palate and Healthy Aperture.

Life can be cruel….. So it is cruel irony that I made this cake and don’t get to eat it(dreaded diet). Fortunately this is something my husband will gladly eat. But enough about my sorrows. One of my favorite chefs of all time is Marcel Desaulniers. He is most known for his one cookbook, Death By Chocolate. Insane Brownie Chocolate Cake This Insane Brownie Chocolate Cake is truly INSANE! We’re talking insanely good! It is one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had! Rich, fudgey, and full of chocolate! It’s like what would happen if a rich chocolate cake and a fudgey brownie had a baby. No-Bake Oreo Cookie Pie All you need to know is that it tastes like the filling of a giant Oreo cookie. It’s one of the easiest things you’ll ever make! Other than that, the pictures of this No-Bake Oreo Cookies ‘n Cream Pie speak for themselves, telling the story much better than words ever could. So I’ll let them do the talking.
