Sour Cherry and Chocolate Frozen Yogurt

For a person who makes her own condiments and bakes her own bread, I have a decidedly lazy streak when it comes to certain things.  It’s ok, don’t we all, even the overachievers among us?  So here’s my confession: I leave laundry in the dryer 

Brown Butter Blondies

Listen.  It’s mid-June.  The beginning of summer.  You really should be eating healthfully.  Loading your body up with nutrient-packed greens and antioxidant rich berries and all of that.  I mean, that’s what I’m doing.  Mostly.  But chocolate and vanilla and browned butter know no season. 

Irish Cream Truffles

Do I really need to write a post for this one, folks?  It’s chocolate.  And booze.  Melted, mixed, rolled around in more chocolate.  Highly giftable, delicious, boozy chocolate.  Listen, we all have lots of stuff to do this time of year.  I, for one, still 

Classic Chocolate Pudding

The things I do for you guys.  I have made this pudding three times now, just to really make sure it’s as good as it was the first time.  I experimented with different milks, different thickeners, different chocolate.  And I ate a lot of pudding. 

Chocolate Banana Cake with Pecans

Earl Grey Truffles

Earl Grey Truffles

Mmm… is there anything better than a hot cup of earl grey tea on a cold day?  Oh wait… there is… and it’s that cup of tea, plus chocolate and cream and cocoa.  I’m not even a chocolate person (I know, the horror!) and I

Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes

I was going to tell you about peanut noodles today.  But then I made these cheesecakes yesterday and today is all gloomy and gray, so I thought maybe you’d like something to make that would warm up your kitchen and make your whole house smell 

Chocolate Almond Toffee

Chocolate Almond Toffee

   Hello, friends.  It’s been so long since I’ve posted… have you forgotten about me?  I’ve been  lost in a whirlwind of work-completing, house-packing, stuff-moving, house-unpacking, baby-growing, and more recently, baby-waiting, that I just haven’t been able to take the time to pull together something 

Triple Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Triple Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

So we’re finally in the week before Christmas, a.k.a. prime cookie-baking time.  I have to say, I’m quite impressed with the amount of sweets-making and cookie-baking that has been taking place up until now in my house.  Also, I think anyone would be impressed with the
