Have you ever noticed how different months are different colors? October and November are brown and orange, December is red and green, and March is green. Well, February is no different. Red, pink and white are in every store window and school office from one end of the country to the other. Why is everything… Continue reading Blood Orange Cranberry Muffins

Hanky Panky Cocktail
Valentine’s Day is Thursday and have I got the perfect cocktail for you. I’ve been wanting to make this drink for awhile now, but I didn’t want to post it at just any old time. It’s called the Hanky Panky. I don’t know about you, but whenever I think of hanky panky I think of… Continue reading Hanky Panky Cocktail
Caffe Moka Blondies
I love cookies. Something sweet you can pick up with your hands and nosh on no matter the time of day or night. They’re not only good for day to day, they’re also an ideal dessert to serve at a party (or to your loved ones) since they’re finger food. Because Valentine’s Day is right… Continue reading Caffe Moka 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
Dubonnet Cocktail
Every Valentine’s Day I’ve made a cocktail that pairs well with the theme. They’re usually pink or have angel in the title. Well, this year I chose to make a red cocktail that not only dates all the way back to the mid 1800’s, but also just happens to be Queen Elizabeth’s favorite drink. Dubonnet… Continue reading Dubonnet Cocktail
Chocolate Pillows
Valentine’s Day is Sunday and if you’re anything like me, you want to make something chocolate to serve your sweetie for dessert on this most romantic of evenings. But if you’re also like me, you don’t really want to spend too much time making it. After all there are much more important things to get… Continue reading Chocolate Pillows
Angel’s Tit
Remember how I said I was going to be making a few Angel cocktails for Valentine’s Day? And remember how I said that a couple of them would elicit thoughts of S – E – X even before the first sip? Well, they say a picture’s worth a thousand words… so I’m pretty sure you… Continue reading Angel’s Tit
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
Angel’s Blush
Valentine’s Day is a week from Saturday. So the next two Fridays will be devoted to those classic Angel cocktails. A few years ago I made an Angel’s Kiss, but there are five other Angels that are just as tasty and perfect for the holiday all about love. Why are they perfect? Because they use… Continue reading Angel’s Blush
Between the Sheets
No, I’m not being flip. Nor am I making a rather obvious invitation. Believe it or not that is actually the name of today’s classic cocktail. And before you ask, no, I didn’t make it up. Someone much older than me, someone who’s probably no longer among the living, has that claim to fame. But… Continue reading Between the Sheets
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
