Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tomorrow is National Chocolate Chip Cookie day. I love chocolate chip cookies. I’ve been eating them since I could hold one in my hand. Haven’s you? Do you remember the first time you tasted a chocolate chip cookie? How about the first time you made a batch with Mom? The chocolate chip cookie is that… Continue reading Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Pie

It’s Cookie Season! Okay, I know it’s actually Christmas season, but this is the time of year when we’re all in our kitchens cooking up a storm and making tons and tons of cookies. There are cookies for holiday parties, cookies for swapping and then there’s of course that extra batch you made for yourself.… Continue reading Chocolate Peppermint Cookie Pie

Food and Cocktail Advent Calendars

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week?!  Where did the time go? Last year the days seemed to drag on and on, but this year the days are going by super quick. I mean, I feel like the kids just went back to school! So, since things are moving at lightning speed, and there… Continue reading Food and Cocktail Advent Calendars

Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today is National Coffee Day! While a lot of blogs and Instagram feeds will be whipping up coffee drinks and cocktails for you today, that’s not the only way to take your coffee. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing I love more than a large cup of coffee or espresso with plenty of frothy milk.… Continue reading Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Orange Brownie Cookies

There are two things I can never get enough of: chocolate and fruit. I love them apart but I love them even more when they’re together. While my favorite chocolate and fruit combinations are chocolate covered strawberries and cherries, I was never a fan of the orange or lemon peels dipped in chocolate. I just… Continue reading Chocolate Orange Brownie Cookies

Browned Butter Brookies

It’s cookie season! Normally this time of year I start making tons and tons of cookies. See, by this time, I’d already have had my annual Christmas party with tons of desserts and cocktails. But as you all know, this year, things are a little different. This year there was no party and with the… Continue reading Browned Butter Brookies

Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites

Last week I gave you an appetizer to serve for your Super Bowl party. And as much as I love a good app, nothing trumps a good dessert!  Preferably something made with chocolate. But plain old chocolate isn’t special enough for a party. No, you need something with a little more pizazz. But no matter… Continue reading Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites

Chocolate Quinoa Cake

I love chocolate. I’ll eat it in bar form, as a brownie, ice cream or cake. I’d eat it all day if I could. While I usually make desserts with apples and fall fruits during the autumn months, chocolate always gets top priority. So, when I discovered this luscious gluten-free chocolate cake from Paula Shoyer,… Continue reading Chocolate Quinoa Cake

Creme de Cassis Cake

Everywhere I look (or go) these days all I see are holiday decorations, and all I hear are Christmas carols. There are even radio stations that only play “holiday music” from Thanksgiving until the new year. Some of them are awful (Dogs barking “Jingle Bells”? Come on.) But some of the holiday music is actually… Continue reading Creme de Cassis Cake

Raspberry Chocolate Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Summertime means one thing to me. Lots and lots of outside time. We just got through a horrid heat wave where my family and I spent as much time outside at the beach and parks as we could get. We even went to a concert or two. So, when I spend that much time outside,… Continue reading Raspberry Chocolate Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
