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

Zabaione with Mixed Berries
Spring is here! Spring is here! Okay. I know Spring has been here since March, but in my opinion it officially began this week. Know why? Because my favorite food time of the year is just getting under way. Fresh berries! Yellow peaches! Apricots and apriums! Not to mention pluots galore. They’re all starting to… Continue reading Zabaione with Mixed Berries
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
Peanut Butter Chocolate Mud Pie
I’m a little late to this party, if you can call it that, and for that I’m deeply sorry. See I was taking time last week away with my husband. We’ve both been so busy with life, work, and all the stresses that go with it that we haven’t really been seeing much of each… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Mud Pie
Summer Bourbon Peach Hand Pies
A few weeks ago I made an impulse buy at the checkout of my grocery store. I picked up Better Homes and Gardens Sunday Dinners magazine. The cover recipe looked really good and when I flipped through there were several more recipes that looked just as scrumptious. One was a recipe for Summer Peach Pie… Continue reading Summer Bourbon Peach Hand Pies
Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
Since I’ve started doing my daily dinner column over at She Knows I’ve been buying food magazines like you wouldn’t believe. I mean, I love to cook, but I don’t have the time (or the energy) to create my own dinner recipes five days a week. Once or twice a week, sure, but five… no… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
Doughnut-Apple Cobbler
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, desserts are something of which I’m a huge fan. It doesn’t matter if it’s chocolate or fruit, cupcakes or ice cream. If it’s sweet, I’m in. And if it’s easy, I’m at my mixer in a matter of seconds. So, a few weeks ago I made my first impulse buy… Continue reading Doughnut-Apple Cobbler
Orange Balsamic Shortbread Cookies
I recently visited the House of Balsamic for a balsamic tasting. As I mentioned in my previous post, I tasted some amazing vinegars, but my favorite by far was the Balsamo di Arancia – the orange balsamic vinegar. Since I purchased it, I’ve used it over pancakes and waffles and added it to Patron for a… Continue reading Orange Balsamic Shortbread Cookies
Chocolate Mint Cookies for Eat my Blog December 2010
As some of you may recall, I participated in the Eatmyblog 2.0 in June where we raised over $5400. Since June’s bake sale was such a huge success, I told Cathy Dahn of Gastronomy Blog that I’d be more than happy to bake something new for Eatmyblog 3.0. For those of you who don’t know, Eatmyblog is a… Continue reading Chocolate Mint Cookies for Eat my Blog December 2010
Pumpkin Pudding
As I mentioned in an earlier post this month I am not a fan of pumpkin pie. I find it flat and boring. But I do love pumpkin, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin waffles… pretty much anything else except pumpkin pie. And of course I’m in charge of a dessert for Thanksgiving this year since I… Continue reading Pumpkin Pudding
