Hi, my name is Addie Martin, and I’m the creative force behind Culicurious, a blog based on table-centered living. My main focus is recipes, but I also blog about restaurant, bar and travel experiences plus a little gardening. I’m thrilled to be here today sharing a recipe with all of you here at Big Fat Baker.

Since the new year’s upon us, many people have resolutions to eat better. I know that’s a constant goal of mine and something I am able to stick to pretty well…. most of the time! But every once in a while you need a break, an indulgence of sorts.

This recipe aims to fill that void – a strawberry shortcake made with minimal sugar and whole wheat pastry flour. Plus it’s topped with a fresh basil whipped cream. It’s sweet and rich without being “bad for you.” [Read more...]

You know my friend Audra from The Baker Chick? (She is also the creator of my favorite group, Milk Bar Mondays)

Guess what…she got married this weekend! Hooray! So a few of us got together to do some guest post recipes for her.

I made these delicious blondies using one of my new favorite things, Biscoff spread. And because it’s the end of summer I threw in a few handfuls of chopped cherries. While you’re there, you should definitely check out Krissy’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shortbread Bars. They look amazing!

So stop by The Baker Chick today and get the recipe for this delicious end of summer dessert!
