One night I was working away on some laundry and realized that I really needed something chocolate. It was the day before grocery shopping, so there was basically nothing in the kitchen. I frantically started looking for recipes that could accommodate the lack luster batch of ingredients I had to work with. Finally, I started… Continue reading Chewy Chocolate Cookies
The second week of biscotti went quite well, although I do think I am going to have to find a way to get rid of some of the cookies. I am not eating all of them before the end of the week! Which…is probably a good thing. This biscotti recipe wasn’t as intensive as the… Continue reading Butter Pecan Biscotti

They offer a variety of… Continue reading Vendor Review: Flatire Burgers

I signed up for dessert thinking that would be the easiest. This recipe was definitely an experiment, but it got tremendous reviews from C.J. and… Continue reading Caramel Vanilla Shortbread Pudding

We have made a few variations to it over the years…perfecting it to the wonderful and heavenly goodness that it is today. I make this pie even… Continue reading Peanut Butter Pie
I absolutely love fruit desserts. Whether it is apple pie, fruit tarts, or a fruit crisp I would rather have that on my plate than a huge chunk of fudge. Fruit over chocolate?
