I love Halloween. It is far and away my favorite holiday. I know Christmas and Hanukkah are at the top of most lists because of all the food and gift giving/getting. But I like Halloween. Why? Because of all the candy of course. Yes, if you know anything about me, you know that I have… Continue reading Ghost Meringue Cookies

Sweet Treats for Valentine’s Day
Okay, I’m not gonna deny it. I didn’t make a Valentine’s-Day-specific dessert this year. Bad Kitchy Cooker. Bad. But while I was hanging my head in shame I realized I’ve made plenty of desserts for the blog and some of them have even been chocolate. (Who am I kidding? Most of them have been chocolate.)… Continue reading Sweet Treats for Valentine’s Day
Chocolate Rum Torte
Since we’re right smack dab in the middle of the holidays, I wanted to make sure I got this recipe up. It’s a pie that’s been in my family for years and is always a big hit. I know pumpkin and apple are the popular pies of the season, but chocolate always seems to find… Continue reading Chocolate Rum Torte
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
I love avocados. They’re rich, creamy, and oh. So. Good. They’re great chopped up in salads, blended into guacamole or even baby food. But up until recently I never considered using them as a base for desserts. I’m so glad I broadened my horizons. My first foray into avocado as dessert were a batch of… Continue reading Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Chocolate-Port Cake
A few weeks ago I was having a party just for the girls. After almost three years of taking care of A and being the stay at home mom who only gets out on occasion for a date night with her hubs, I thought it was time to have a girls’ night. No kids, no… Continue reading Chocolate-Port Cake
Chocolate Potato Cake with Raspberry Frosting
Last week I attended my first Food Bloggers Los Angeles meeting. It’s a group of local food bloggers who get together once a month to share ideas, socialize and of course eat. Well this month’s meeting was all about potatoes since Don Odiorne, the VP for food service for the Idaho Potato Commission, was the… Continue reading Chocolate Potato Cake with Raspberry Frosting
Maraschino Whoopie Pies
It’s Valentine’s Day next week and that means your mailbox is probably going to be full of red envelopes, heart-shaped cards, chocolate and flowers. While I like chocolate any time of the day or night 365 days a year, next Tuesday is the day when chocolate sales seem to go through the roof. And why… Continue reading Maraschino Whoopie Pies
Stout Brownies
If you know anything about me, you know that I love chocolate. It doesn’t matter if it comes in ice cream, cake, brownie or bar. If it’s chocolate (dark or milk) I’m devouring it. My favorite chocolate dessert though is the brownie, hands down. So when I find new recipes for brownies, I run right… Continue reading Stout Brownies
Black Forest Brownies
I’ve always been a huge fan of chocolate and cherries or any combination thereof. My favorite sweet? Chocolate covered cherries. They’re soooo good. There’s just nothing in the world that beats them, especially if it’s a deep, rich dark chocolate in which the cherry has been dipped. So, since I’m such a huge fan of… Continue reading Black Forest Brownies
Midnight Milky Way Pudding
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year. Yes, I’m (technically) too old to go trick or treating and get free candy, but thankfully I have A, who’s now two and a half and can do it for me. Then as his mom, I have the pleasure of going through his candy and weeding… Continue reading Midnight Milky Way Pudding
Minny’s Chocolate Pie
I have a confession to make. I hate to read. Okay let me clarify that, I hate to read books. Magazines, scripts, blog posts, all these I have no trouble with and actually quite enjoy. Don’t ask me why I’m repulsed by books, because I actually can’t tell you. Maybe it’s the thought of cracking… Continue reading Minny’s Chocolate Pie
