Anniversary Week
It’s our anniversary week! Mitch and I have been married six years! So, to celebrate our anniversary, I’m making foods this week that have been very popular at one time or another during our past 8+ years together. And then I’m putting Mitch on the hot seat by giving him a hint and making him … Continue reading
Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
It’s looking like Christmas around here. Our tree is up. Our stockings are up. Our advent calendar is up and running. Christmas cards are coming (and I love them!). And the Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are ready. Sometimes we call these Buckeyes though I’m sure the folks from Ohio would throw a fit and explain … Continue reading
Peppermint Bark
Oh, yes! Peppermint Bark is in the house. This recipe is oh so easy and oh so delicious. As always, just have someone handy to do dishes for you. Today’s holiday excitement involved making this peppermint bark and firing up the pellet stove for the first time this winter (little known fact: yes, it does … Continue reading
Sweet potato chocolate chip cookies (flour free)
I mentioned Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies a couple of days ago, and surprisingly no one has been beating down my door to get the recipe. Shocking really. It’s possible that these cookies are only delicious because something that seems like it has flour tastes SO good after not having flour…or maybe they really are … Continue reading
Oh my and Flourless Chocolate Cake
Oh my. We’re way out of August and way into September, aren’t we? Insert one million [lame] excuses here for why I haven’t blogged: blah, blah, blah. Suffice it to say I have evidence that I have clearly lost my mind: Mitch and I just returned from a fabulous long weekend trip to Arches National … Continue reading

Let’s just say these cookies is what secured her place in the family. Though this photo is not the best, it still … Continue reading

It’s all the way up in Maine and evidently it’s now one of my favorite restaurants! Yum. I wanted a fun dessert to take over to our friends’ house for dinner and … Continue reading
Chocolate Espresso Cookies
Time to wake up and smell the…espresso and chocolate. Oh, yes, Chocolate Espresso Cookies. chocolate + espresso = delicious caffeine buzz A few important notes: This isn’t the recipe to try for your first baking-from-scratch cookie baking (go for chocolate chip cookies instead). It’s not too difficult, but there are several more steps than your … Continue reading
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Insert intoxicating smell of freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookies here. I started making the Nestle Toll House recipe when I was a teenager, when I learned the important lesson that the more you make the more you can eat. Since then, I have modified the basic recipe just a bit over the years at … Continue reading
Chocolate Lava Cake
And now for some indulgence. Amid the bills and junk mail, I found this gem of a recipe in the King Arthur catalog that comes in the mail. I cut it out and added it to my vault of recipes-to-try-someday, and now today is the day. Basically the picture was calling my name though the … Continue reading
