Mint Chocolate Cupcakes

February 4, 2010

Believe it or not, this cupcake, for me, was a lesson in self acceptance. It sounds ridiculous, but bear with me. For the past month I’ve been taking a digital photography seminar. I’ve always loved photography, but never had any clue what the heck I was doing. If I got a [...]

Hazelnut Mocha Biscotti

January 18, 2010

My grandmother (fathers’ mother) celebrated a birthday this past Saturday so I baked up a special treat to send to her.  When it comes to care packages, biscotti often come to mind because they are regularly crowd pleasers and both ship and keep well.
Biscotti are often served here in the states with coffee, but instead [...]

Chocolate-Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Whipped Chevre Filling

November 13, 2009

It’s been a long time (too long) since I posted my last Fromage Fridays entry, since the end of August in fact.  Fret not, I’m just as in love with cheese as ever, life has just gotten in the way of me exploring it as much as I would like.  When I saw the Chavrie [...]

Blogger Secret Ingredient – Chocolate: Part 2

September 13, 2009

Given that chocolate is my favorite ingredient is it any surprise that I decided to make not just one but two recipes using this killer ingredient?  This recipe was inspired by Oliver.  Since I first adopted him back in April I’ve been making homemade dog food for him whenever I have time.  The side effect [...]

Blogger Secret Ingredient Chocolate Goes Savory

September 11, 2009

Oh kitchen, how I’ve missed you.  Between craziness at my full time job and prepping for and teaching my night course (which went MUCH better this week, btw) I was a stranger in my own kitchen this week.  It saw little more action than me making sandwiches for lunch and dinner (and not the complex [...]

Fromage Friday: Deep Chocolate Brownies with Chevre Swirls

August 28, 2009

Since I returned from Vermont I’ve been a bit obsessed with the idea of including artisan cheeses in chocolate sweets.  Thoughts of chocolate whoopie pies with chevre filling, gorgonzola butter cream, chevre truffles, and of course dark chocolate chevre brownies have been distracting me from work and other more productive aspects of my life.
I decided [...]

Bake Sale Recipe #1: Banana-Chocolate Chip Squares

June 27, 2008

It’s been a hectic week so I am just now getting around to posting some of my favorite recipes I made for the bake sale. My friend still hasn’t sent me the pictures of our bake sale table, which is too bad because I’ve been hoping to add them to the previous post. [...]

Fish & Chips

May 14, 2008

My cravings tend to vary wildly depending on the mood I’m in. Yesterday I was all about American classics so I decided to whip up two with a healthier twist: a fried fish sandwich and chocolate chip cookies. Like many Americans I love fried food, especially when it’s seafood. Up near [...]

Toffee and Truffles for Mother’s Day

May 11, 2008

I love giving gifts, but being a perfectionist, it should come as no surprise that I stress out about giving something that’s ‘just right.’ I think that’s why I prefer to give homemade presents. I find it makes it easier to give something thoughtful and customized and it allows me to avoid the [...]

Peanut Butter Mud Pie

April 28, 2008

When people ask me about my diet I usually say that I eat nutritious food 90% of the time and allow for ‘fun food’ the other 10%. This dessert definitely falls into that 10%. I actually earmarked this recipe for Peanut Butter Mud Pie from The Buttercup Bake Shop Cookbook when I [...]
