First, this picture was taken with an iPhone. Usually I wouldn’t share it, but the cake was too amazing to keep quiet. Ashley and I had so much fun making this together for Christmas Eve dinner. Mom made a fabulous prime rib and the whole family feasted like we’ve never feasted before! Our favorite part was most definitely Ashley’s chocolate buttercream – OUT OF THIS WORLD! Absolutely amazing.

The moment I saw these I knew I had to make them. Chocolate covered cherries in cookie form? YES! They were festive, different, easy, and delish. Fun new twist for a cookie exchange this season. Here’s the only thing, personally I would much prefer a fudgyer (that does not look right, is that a word?) cookie, so next time I’m going to try these cookie/brownie recipe from my Marshmallow Brownie Bites. That’s just me, but I still found every bite of these very tasty and really enjoyed sharing them!

Salty and sweet. Crunchy and melt-in-your-mouth. Peanut butter and chocolate. Dangerous and delicious (you know what I mean). One little bite, so much to experience. Why did I wait so long to give these a try?? A perfect treat to share with a large group of people that you love a whole lot, or to share with yourself on a self-indulgent sweats and sofa sorta day. Yum and yum. Continue reading ‘peanut butter pretzel bites’
bon appetit’s chocolate (mayonnaise) cake

My pumpkin supply is running short here in Asia, but that’s OK because I was forced to try something different this fall. I’d completely forgotten how amazing the perfect chocolate cake can be! I’ve never had a go-to recipe, but when I saw this in Bon Appetit it looked like I had met my match. I don’t go for light and fluffy when it comes to my cakes, particularly the chocolate variety. I like dense (check), rich (check) and moist (check). The cake was fab. And the frosting? Beyond. Dangerous. Anytime I need a chocolate cake, this will be on the menu. Seriously, didn’t even miss my pumpkin in the middle of October, that’s how good it was!

These little treats hit you with four distinct textures and flavors in one little bite. Sam and Eli helped me choose this recipe to share for the school’s teacher appreciation day. I thought they’d be fun for the kids to prepare, but not sure if it was an appropriate adult treat. The result was a very pleasant surprise! Continue reading ‘marshmallow brownie bites’
