Have you all heard of congo bars? I love blondies just as much as the next gal, but I hadn’t heard of “congo bars” until recently. Basically, they are blondies are steroids. The good kind of steroids, of course. You know, the dosage your doctor gives you so you can recuperate from mono (me in [...]

While the Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies are my all-time favorite, stuck-on-a-desert-island, need-them-to-survive cookie, I can’t help myself when it comes to trying all sorts of new cookie recipes. Enter these insanely sinful chocolate cookies, created by the queen of awesome cookies, Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod. She creates some of the [...]

There are times when the cosmic forces of the blogging world all come together and I have an “a ha” moment about what exact recipe I should try next. One of those glorious moments occurred last week. A reader left a comment on my Facebook page asking if I had a recipe for a white [...]

Even though I work from home, snow days still have that same cozy, hibernation-type feel that they did when I was a kid. On typical days I get up, get showered, get dressed and head to my home office. On snow days I still get up and get showered, but I throw on my comfiest [...]

I absolutely love chocolate bark, and make peppermint bark religiously every year around the holidays. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without it, and I eat it like Santa’s ability to deliver presents on Christmas Eve depends on it. Amazingly though, that’s the only type of bark I have ever made. Which seems to be sheer [...]

I came up with these biscotti well over a year ago and have been making them on a fairly regular basis (well, as regular as biscotti baking can be), yet they have never graced the good ol’ site here. I’ll chalk that up to them disappearing so fast when I actually do make them! They [...]

An OREO® Knockoff

I am admittedly not really wowed so much by chocolate cookies. I’m not sure why, as I love chocolate, but an actual chocolate cookie usually doesn’t do much for me. Give me an ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie any day. However, when I saw this cookie on Shawnda’s blog, I was reeled in. Yes, she [...]

For our second week of Tuesdays With Dorie, it was my turn to choose the recipe that we would tackle. After poring over endless possibilities, my eyes kept going back to the Quintuple Chocolate Brownies. I was pretty sure, upon reading the recipe, that I might go into sugar shock when I took my first [...]
