AH, and so the love affair with my bread maker continues. I am currently working on a few grilled cheese creations for a contest now going on. The first ingredient in a perfect grilled cheese is a nice piece of crusty bread for “grilling”. I was scrolling through recipes online trying to find the ultimate […]
Chocolate Cake Topped With Mocha Cream Cheese Frosting And Filled With Dark Chocolate Ganache
I can’t stop looking at gum paste flowers. Seriously. They are so creative and beautiful. Some look so realistic I don’t think you can tell a difference at first glance. I really wanted to try creating some roses with gum paste. I bought the Wilton gum paste powder from a craft store, a few different […]
Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Blondies
Now that I have been working on eating clean for over a month I have often been splurging on the weekends. 1. that is when I do most of my baking, cooking, and editing. 2. that is when Patrick and I have the same days off and usually go try new restaurants. Which by the […]

If you don’t follow FeedFeed on instagram you may not know about their contest partnership with Bob’s Red Mill. I entered these muffins a few weeks ago, not really thinking twice, and yesterday I was given the news that I am a finalist! There are so many great bloggers in the running. I am just […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Layered Cheese Cakes
Easter is coming. Soon. Every year I try to make a big complex dessert, but this year I am staying simple. These layered cheesecakes require no baking, short stove top time, and come together in minutes. Something about homemade pudding is so comforting. The flavor is so much richer than if you used an instant […]

New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies
Do you remember the show What Not To Wear? I used to be obsessed with watching Stacy London and Clinton Kelly surprising regular people and updating their wardrobe. After the show ended and Clinton Kelly moved to the Chew I was convinced that he could do no wrong. He knows fashion and now he is in the […]
German Chocolate Cupcakes w/ Dark Chocolate Frosting
German chocolate means different things to different people. It blows my mind how many weirdos people do not like coconut! I look everything about coconut. The smell, taste, and texture! BUT for those of you who do not like or cannot eat coconut I made German chocolate cupcakes minus the coconut. These cupcakes were created […]
Homemade Pecan Brownie Sundaes
And then there are days when you just need a brownie. Smothered in gelato. Topped with whip cream and sprinkles. My favorite kind of brownies have a crunchy top that you can tap with your spoon and it opens up to a dense fudge center. You know what I am talking about. It is reminiscent […]
Waffle It – Banana Bread
Waffle It is going to be a small series I want to try this year. Featuring my favorite recipes cooked in my waffle maker. My brother bought me a book filled with lots of creative ways to use your waffle maker. I saw they had a recipe for banana bread which reminded me of this […]
