Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Posted on August 17, 2016 by sparecake

I admit this pie may look slightly underwhelming, how it doesn’t explode out of the crust or anything, but after I took my first bite this weekend I started messaging people “I AM GOOD AT PIE”, which should give you … Continue reading →

Butterscotch Pudding Pie

Posted on August 10, 2016 by sparecake

There are a couple steps to this pie, but none of them take very long (with the possible exception of waiting for everything to cool before you eat it), and it’s totally worth it. The crust, even when baked, tastes … Continue reading →

Browned Butter, White Chocolate Cookies

Posted on August 3, 2016 by sparecake

These are thick, crunchy cookies with a flavor I enjoyed. I don’t think they shouted BROWN BUTTER, but it’s definitely in there, and I thought it went well with the white chocolate. Once you’ve got the butter browned, everything else … Continue reading →

Flourless Chocolate Cake

Posted on July 13, 2016 by sparecake

Realistically, this is a most-things-less cake, as it only has 3 (or 4) ingredients! It is, as you’ll guess from the ingredient list, super rich – one of my coworkers said it was like injecting cacao directly into your veins … Continue reading →

‘Greek’ Hummus

Posted on July 6, 2016 by sparecake

This is so simple it hardly counts as a recipe, but I really like it! It’s both quite spinach-y and hummus-y, and I think would be good as a veggie dip. I threw it in a wrap with some more … Continue reading →

Tim Tam Slam Ice Cream

Posted on June 20, 2016 by sparecake

A few months ago, I heard about the existence of a bike ride called the Tam Slam. For obvious reasons, this got me thinking of Tim Tam Slams. If you’re not familiar, a Tim Tam Slam is when you take … Continue reading →

Raspberry Crème Brûlée

Posted on May 30, 2016 by sparecake

This is a weird one, as it neither uses cream nor… brulees? Anyway you don’t use a torch or a broiler! I’ll admit it’s been years since I’ve had proper creme brulee, but this really grew on me, especially with … Continue reading →

Shrimp Arrabbiata with Spaghetti Squash

Posted on May 23, 2016 by sparecake

I had been seeing the word arrabbiata around a bit last week, and had no idea what it was, but luckily this recipe popped up and answered the question! This makes a lightly spicy sauce and a very low calorie … Continue reading →

Cauliflower Pizza Bagels

Posted on May 9, 2016 by sparecake

I’ve been doing a lot with riced cauliflower lately, and it works in a good variety of ways because it doesn’t have much flavor itself, so you can do what you want with it while creating some lower calorie recipes. … Continue reading →

Buffalo Turkey with Spaghetti Squash

Posted on May 4, 2016 by sparecake

Kind of a combination of the recent buffalo turkey chili and the spaghetti squash lasagna boats, this is just a different way to combine things that remains delicious, filling, and decently healthy. Ingredients: 1 large spaghetti squash salt and pepper … Continue reading →
