Chocolate
At some point does the layering of chocolate on chocolate on chocolate become ridiculous? BLASPHEMY! I regret that I even asked that question. How silly of me. I’m sorry, loyal reader/baker/chocoholic, for my momentary lapse in judgement. I guess I was looking at the picture above and was wondering if I took it too far, […]

Wow. Imagine a fluffy and light cookie, full of rich chocolate flavor, that’s somehow chewy and dense, too. It’s a contradiction. It’s seemingly impossible. And it’s happening folks, right here and now. Your gluten free friends will finally like you. Your belly will probably like you better too. There’s no downside to these, so stop arguing […]

You need time to bake these, so don’t make them if you’re a diabetic and need a hit of sugar to sustain your life. If, however, you have a couple of hours, you really should make these. Here’s what you need to know about this dessert: Meringue cookies are light and airy. So while they […]

Have you seen ‘Still Alice’? Yeah well, I might have early onset Alzheimers like that character with the red hair who won the Academy Award. (I’m not even joking- I can’t remember her name right now. Reinforcing my point.) I was at the store yesterday morning and bought cashews and a bar of white chocolate […]

So fast. So easy. So good. I’ve had a thing lately for toasted pecans, so this dessert works JUST FINE. (Really- I have even been adding them to my morning yogurt snack with raisins and strawberries and cinnamon. Can’t. Get. Enough. But don’t even think of skipping the 7 minute step of toasting them, or […]

Chocolate and cherry. Sigh. It really is a classic combo, but just lesser known on the whole rung of Famous Chocolate Combinations (you know- the ladder where almond, mint, peanut butter and caramel kind of rule). Cherry is kind of down there with orange and raspberry, but no less worthy of being paired with the King […]

“Uh oh.” That’s what I said when I took the frozen peanut butter cookie crust out of the freezer, let it thaw in its foil wrapping, and then realized when I opened it up and was about to spread the ganache over top of it that it wasn’t a peanut butter cookie crust at all. […]

Easy! Amazing! And not that bad for you! Are you sold? From the time I told The Husband “I feel like baking” (which garnered no response, because there’s really never a four-hour interval when I’m not saying that) to the time I poured this chocolate coconut pudding into four little serving dishes, I think I […]

Imagine you’re sitting there eating a peanut butter cookie, but all of a sudden the cookie is enveloped in The World’s Greatest Fudge Brownie. That cookie just got about 600 times better, didn’t it? I need to be clear: this recipe isn’t about taking a massively good brownie and simply swirling PB into it (been […]

Dear Hazelnuts, Oh, how I’ve missed you. Where have you been? I let us grow apart, and I take responsibility for that. I have to admit that I let pecans and walnuts rule the nut roost ’round these parts, and I forgot about how freaking good you can be- all toasted and fragrant and nutty […]

Who doesn’t like graham crackers? And since we already know that no one doesn’t like chocolate (not true- I met a lovely woman recently who really doesn’t care for it- strange but true), why not combine the two? I know, I know: the s’mores people already thought of the graham cracker/chocolate combination, but they never […]

I need you to know that there’s no turning back after making these chocolates. You can’t expect to make them, eat them, and live your life like you did the day before. No. Something will happen, some sort of inexplicable shift, some sort of transformation. You won’t be able to stop thinking about them, and […]

What’s that, you say? Could this really be a pie made with Golden Grahams, the cereal known and loved by sugar-crazed kids across the North American continent? I’ve got one word for you, and it’s the right one: Yes. I bought a box of the cereal last summer (for the express purpose of baking them into […]

Who ever said you can’t stuff crumbles of rich chocolate cake into little tart shells, then top them off with whipped cream, and then drizzle chocolate sauce over top of all of that sin? (If you’ve ever heard anyone say that then I think you need to distance yourself from him/her. No good could ever […]

Why make a dessert with one layer when five layers are five hundred times better? I learned this lesson when I made the 4-Layer Insanity Bars (brownie on the bottom, then a layer of chocolate chip cookie, then a layer of cheesecake, then ganache to top it all off). Is your heart rate quickening, too? It’s […]

A few weeks back when The Husband and I were moving into our new place (yes, the place where our glorious new oven decided not to work from Day 1, even though our inspector didn’t pick up on it and then the Fisher & Paykel guy who came out and said “it works just fine!” […]

I will always always always be modifying banana bread and muffins, until the day that my hands are gnarled from arthritis at the age of 96, or if I’m lucky, 97. I love banana bread/muffins, and alternate between my two favorite recipes: Banana Nut Muffins (a bit more rich and buttery, so therefore my true […]

Take a deep breath, reader. Get ready for the easiest no-bake thing you’re ever going to make (well, other than the Ugly But Good Bars, but still). These are my new favorite sweet thing, which means it should really be your favorite new sweet thing too. I dare you to make these and then tell […]
