Browned Butter Chocolate Cherry Blondies

As you know I’ve been on a bit of a cherry kick lately. That’s because cherry season is only a few short weeks and I just love those little red orbs. They’re so sweet and tart and absolutely delicious. It’s because of the quick season that I’m bringing you yet another cherry recipe, but this… Continue reading Browned Butter Chocolate Cherry Blondies

Chocolate Raspberry Thumbprints

Two big holidays are next week: Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day.  Galentine’s Day? What the H.E.double hockey sticks is Galentine’s Day? It’s a relatively new phenomenon where girls get together the day before Valentine’s Day, February 13th, and celebrate. You know, a girls’ night. I mean, why should you miss out on wine and chocolate… Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Thumbprints

Strawberry Banana Bread

I know strawberry season might be over (or at least the peak season is) but as long as there are strawberries at the farmer’s market, I consider it to be strawberry season. And I’m not alone.

Now, I know there are plenty of people out there who have already been watching football games and… Continue reading Triple Chocolate Hatch Chili

Cinnamon Macaroons Dipped in Chocolate

As I’m sure all of you know there are two big holidays this weekend.

Menus need to be planned, ingredients need to be chopped… Continue reading Cinnamon Macaroons Dipped in Chocolate

Chocolate Citrus Cake

Saturday is chocolate day. No, it’s not National Chocolate Day. Believe it or not, that’s in October. Saturday is chocolate day because it’s Valentine’s Day, and other than flowers and jewelry, the most popular gift given on this holiday is, you guessed it, chocolate. So you’ll see pretty red hearts in all the chocolate stores… Continue reading Chocolate Citrus Cake
