If there ever was a time to splurge on an expensive bar or two of chocolate, now would be that time… We restrict these luxurious bars to gifts, special occasions, and Tuesdays because Tuesdays by my general rule of thumb have a tendency to suck. I know we can’t always splurge on expensive bars ofContinue reading “Chocolate Pudding”

Coconut Chocolate Pecan Bars
When you are shopping for the ingredients necessary for this recipe – which if I had to guess ( based on what was in my grocery cart) you will only need to gather a bit of unsweentened coconut flakes and more butter – you should probably also grab a roll of TUMS. I am not sayingContinue reading “Coconut Chocolate Pecan Bars”
Zucchini Bread
Zucchini Bread…. It is a basic. A summer staple. Late summer. That time period that we are inching closer and closer to with the dawn of August upon us. Zucchini will be overwhelming our gardens and CSA bags for weeks to come. We will be gifting zucchini in the coming weeks to neighbors, coworkers, strangersContinue reading “Zucchini Bread”
Chocolate Mousse
I miss her. That is all. I miss her as she was when I was 8. I miss being 8. I want to jump back to 1991 and whisper in my own ear and say, take a moment. Take a good look around. Get it set in your brain. This, all of it; the sights,Continue reading “Chocolate Mousse”
Walnut Brownies with Flaky Sea Salt
Have you been basketballing this weekend? Fun fact…this weekend, the opening weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament, is the most common time of year for males to get a vasectomy. Get snipped and recover with an ice pack placed just perfectly so, basketball on the tube, and a beer in the hand. I find this toContinue reading “Walnut Brownies with Flaky Sea Salt”
Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake
I need to apologize. I have been holding out on you guys for at least two weeks. And honestly, it has been longer than that but the exact amount of time is beyond me and any guess would be a straight exaggeration because I can not, for the life of me, make an educated guessContinue reading “Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake”
Chocolate Silk Pie
You guys, it is Monday again…I feel like I was just looking forward to a darn weekend and here it is over and I am dragging myself towards another week, that is brimming with work and while I am grateful for it, it leads me to just crave Saturday morning where there is no angryContinue reading “Chocolate Silk Pie”
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies
‘ You could use these as bait for any kind of trap‘. A compliment from a grateful co-worker as he stuffed perhaps his third of what would ultimately become eight cookies by the end of his shift, into his mouth. Side note – I often pray to the high heavens for his metabolism. I amContinue reading “Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies”
Chocolate Glazed Walnut Brownies
I know. What the world needs is not one more brownie recipe. I think perhaps finding a renewable energy source would rank above brownies…however I have the ingredients and the know how for brownies at my fingertips. How to harness wind power and sunlight and redirect their energy to power say my car or toasterContinue reading “Chocolate Glazed Walnut Brownies”
Peanut Butter and Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches
Does September (or the end of August if you are from these parts) feel more like the beginning of a new year… a true fresh start…more so than the first of January? Perhaps it is how a new school year coincides with a progression of seasons. There is a noticeable shift in the universe. A changeContinue reading “Peanut Butter and Cracker Ice Cream Sandwiches”
