My inner 5-year old took control of my cravings yesterday. All I wanted was peanut butter and sugar. Not that I’m complaining. Any day that ends in a rich slice of homemade flourless chocolate cake topped with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream is okay by me! Dessert: Homemade Flourless Chocolate Cake “Ants on a [...]
I have nothing against chicken. It is quite tasty when made right, and makes a great canvas for many fabulous sauces. On Friday, however; I was responsible for grilling 80 pounds of chicken breast. (I also pan-seared about maybe another 40-50 individual chicken breasts for chicken piccata.) After removing all of the chicken from its [...]
Hoppy Easter! I hope the bunny brought you lot’s of treats! My dad, aka the king of breakfast, out did the Easter Bunny this year with a luscious brunch. Let’s face it, a hearty meal is better than a basket of chocolate. I was treated to his specialties: Waffles and Cappuccino, with a side of [...]
I just had a life changing experience and it came in the form of chocolate. I felt so naughty creating this little cup of joy. If you have a cozy evening planned this Valentine’s Day I beg you, grab a good movie, a fluffy blanket and MAKE THIS! Is this….love? I’m having trouble verbalizing my [...]
Valentine’s Day is almost here, which has me thinking about dessert even more than normal. I’ve already planned a special dessert for the weekend and I know what I am bringing to my co-workers for the actual holiday on Monday. Both involve chocolate. In my mind, Valentine’s Day and chocolate go hand-in-hand. I’m a chocoholic, [...]
I eat a LOT of oatmeal. Some might say that I have an oatmeal obsession. Every day I wake up early, at least an hour and a half before I have to leave for work, just so I can make, sit down and thoroughly enjoy a quiet bowl of oatmeal. A typical bowl includes rolled [...]
I liked the idea of baking something healthy for a change. You know, a recipe that uses oil instead of butter and some form of whole grains. If you like Fig Newtons I think you would enjoy these. I had the good fortune of eating this along side a bowl of Greek yogurt with banana, [...]
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Are you prepared? If you’re searching for some ideas, I think these would make your sweetie swoon. I love a brownie with a little crunchy crust and rich doughy center! Who needs a heart shaped box of chocolates and a dozen roses when you can have these? Let’s [...]
Peace, Love and Granola.I’m a granola lover. I love it to top off a smoothie, mix into yogurt, garnish my oatmeal and plain by the handful. Over the weekend I decided that it was time to make more granola. I’ve been playing with a few recipes here and there over the past few months, and [...]
In all fairness, I am a big fan of the weekend in general, however; Sunday has a special place in my heart. Growing up Sunday was a time for family. We slept in, went to church and spent the day relaxing together over a luscious brunch prepared by my dad and hearty early dinner. Living [...]
