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 taste tested about 6-8 of these before deciding they were more crisp than chewy. I love big soft cookies, however; this kind of cookie is my favorite with cup of tea. Or for milk dunking purposes . Homemade cookies are comforting and make for the best air freshener. I really should do a baked [...]
Why am I always running late? What should I do with my future? Where did my car keys go? There are many things that I am unsure of, however; there is one thing that I know to be true: homemade chocolate chip cookies are a constant comfort. My love affair with cooking, and life in [...]
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 [...]
Ladies and gentleman, I give you the dessert of champions: Waffle & Wine. 1 Van’s Toaster Waffle (classy, I know), topped with a thin layer of almond butter, Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt, Raspberry Bonne Maman (best raspberry out there!), Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter and Local Orange Blossom Honey. Hermann J. Wiemer Field Cuvee. I [...]
Never underestimate the power of a long night of sleep and a home cooked meal.Maple, Soy, Ginger & Orange Glazed Chicken. Leftover Yam Crisps. Roasted Kale, Shiitake Mushrooms, Slivered Almonds and Dried Cranberries. Final’s week in college was always full of stress, projects, tests, poor eating an zero sleep. I was tired and after countless [...]
My nana and papa always had some bar “cookie” in their kitchen. I vividly remember sitting around their small table watching The Price Is Right while munching on jam bars and poppy seed rolls. I also remember eating WAY too many egg salad sandwiches and fitting black olives on to the tips of my fingers [...]
I decided to take the night off from yoga and soothe my soul in the kitchen. Over the years I have found that my passion for really good food matches my passion for cooking. If I had the opportunity to eat at the best restaurants every single night it would be bitter sweet. Obviously, I [...]
1/3 cup rolled oats (last of my container ) cooked in 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk, 2/3 cup water, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. 1 TBS Chia seeds and 1/2 banana whipped in at the end. Topped with crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam, blackberries, local orange blossom honey and Mini Magoo’s Funstuff. I woke up [...]
Tea and Chocolate. My favorite “nightcap”.I’m a dessert girl. I don’t always need something sweet after breakfast or lunch, however; when dinner is over HAND ME A TREAT! I cannot surrender to the day until I’ve had that final sweet bite. Sometimes I dip into my Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream carton or the frozen [...]
