I’ve heard that people wear and eat green things on St. Patrick’s Day. I guess that’s why I felt compelled to dust last year’s chocolate
As summer starts to wind down, I get s’mores on my mind. A toasted, warm, and gooey marshmallow atop some chocolate and sandwiched between two crunchy graham crackers? Yes, please. But for those of us who prefer their chocolate to get a little gooier, too – and for those of us without access to an…
Don’t you just love it when berries are in season? There is nothing that makes me happier. In fact, I’ve learned that one can go blueberry picking in Louisiana in just a couple short weeks. It’s happening. Two weekends ago, I picked up loads of fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. While I thoroughly enjoy a simple bowl…
More peanut butter and chocolate – is there anything better? I think not. You might remember these ah-mazing cheesecake-swirled fudge brownies from a while back. And I’m sure you remember these decadent Reese’s peanut butter cup-stuffed dark chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. So why not let those two play together in a mixing bowl and inspire today’s…
Happy Valentine’s Day! To share the love, make these easy-peasy, from-scratch red-velvet sugar cookie bars that are topped with an Oreo truffle layer. Heart shapes optional, but totally adorable. These were kind of inspired by my super soft red velvet cookies but are chewier, denser, and easier to cut into shapes. They are also a match…
As I sit here snacking (aka eating peanut butter right out of the jar with a spoon…a jar to which I added a palmful of chocolate chips), I’m dreaming about these white chocolate brownies. I want another one, but alas…all gone. And for good reason – they were delicious. I made these based off of the…
Yes, dream bars. So dreamy, in fact, that more than one person has dubbed these “the best thing I’ve ever eaten.” So dreamy, I tell you, that for his birthday last year, the manfriend said he wanted these instead of birthday cake. And so dreamy, I challenge you to have just one. Seriously, you’ll have…
All day yesterday, I could feel myself slowly getting sick. I popped some Tylenol, drank a fizzy glass of Airborne, and even had chicken noodle soup (which I hate even more than Airborne) – but, alas, I woke up today looking all mouth-breathing-ly gorgeous. Those preventative measures, like scrubbing your hands frequently and wiping down your…
The weekend has gone by much too fast for my taste, thank you very much. It’s already Sunday afternoon and I think I could use another day to do typical weekend things (which, if you know me, aren’t nearly as exciting as you’d expect…think making lists and organizing). One thing I love about the weekends…
Come fall, I live in constant fear of not finding pumpkin puree in grocery stores. It happened to my mother once – not a single can in sight. She’s a smart woman, so she whipped up pecan pie and apple cake instead, not even thinking twice. But me? I live in fear. Beginning in spring,…
