They’re rich and decadent, with the espresso powder and dark chocolate cutting the sweetness, and then topped with a cinnamon glaze that totally takes these to a new level.

I’m still recapping foods made in April! This is the last recipe I made for the ladies at my church’s annual Women’s Retreat. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend since I had a bunch of studying to do, but I was glad to at least participate by providing the food. It sounded like it wasRead more
Happy Mother’s Day!! Sister came down early to celebrate Mother’s Day, so we had our Mother’s Day brunch a day early. When we were growing up Sister and I would make breakfast in bed for Mom. So breakfast foods are our traditional celebration. This year Mom requested this herbed ricotta tart, and something fruity forRead more
I didn’t used to be a cake person. When Sister and I were little we always chose ice cream cakes for our birthdays, and not the new modern kind that have cold cake at the bottom, just straight up ice cream in the shape of a cake with a ganache on top. So when askedRead more
This was my first attempt at fudge. It was a great recipe, very easy and delicious! I’d definitely like to try some other variations, maybe some darker chocolate, some with nuts, maybe a swirl of peanut butter.

Combined with some condensed milk, this is a rich, decadent treat that really is as easy as pie. A delicious chocolate base topped with a sweet toasted coconut macaroon flavoredRead more
March 31st was a special day. Not only was it Easter, but it was also my cousin’s 9th birthday! (If you’re really paying attention, you may be thinking, ‘didn’t your cousin turn 9 last month?’, and you’d be right. Lucky me, I have two cousins just a month apart in age on either side ofRead more
This was my contribution to our Easter Sunday potluck breakfast at church. I saved this recipe from Cooking Light over a year ago, and have been eagerly awaiting a chance to make it. It was definitely worth the wait! I absolutely loved this! I’m a huge fan of grapefruit, so I was excited to seeRead more
Warning: this is highly addictive. This is popular with people that don’t like chocolate, this is popular with people that don’t like mint! This is great for a salty, sweet, minty, crunchy treat! There’s a little bit of everything in here and the possibilities are endless. While this isn’t really “cooking” it’s a great assemblyRead more
