  • Doughnut from Shangri-La

    Doughnut from Shangri-La

    Full disclosure: I didn’t make the doughnut portion of the Doughnut from Shangri-La, it is a store bought doughnut. But my justification is that on The Simpsons the doughnut is ALSO store bought. So that works, right? Right? *Giant sloth shrug* Anyway, while Apu helpfully lists almost all of the the so-called “sprinkles” that Homer…

  • Marge’s Marshmallow Squares

    Marge’s Marshmallow Squares

    Marshmallow squares make a few appearances in early seasons of The Simpsons. Which is important to note because early on they are specifically called Marshmallow Squares and NOT Rice Krispie Squares, which makes me think of a novelty flying disc for some reason… Mr. Burns: Hello, Simpson.

That’s not going to stop me from making and enjoying Brain Slug Cupcakes! Futurama isn’t a Simpsons…

  • Christmas Tree and Bloody Spearhead Cookies

    Christmas Tree and Bloody Spearhead Cookies

    We’re covering a lot of ground in this special holiday installment post featuring Christmas Tree and Bloody Spearhead Cookies. So strap yourself in and feel the Gs! Marge does a lot of baking, which is why I knew I’d seen her Christmas tree cookie recipe in at least two Simpsons episodes. The first is referenced…
