For this month’s Family Recipes event, my sister posted a recipe of mine. I was really floored, completely complimented. But she also took our little event in a brilliant new direction. After all, I have hardly been making Vietnamese Bun my entire life. But I do make it regularly now and she and I talk…
M&M-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars
A while back I was craving an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips–but I was also feeling very lazy so I wanted a bar cookie. I was surprised that I had trouble finding one without peanut butter–I love peanut butter cookies as anyone who reads this blog knows, but that was not the flavor I was…
The Wrinkly But Oh-So-Tasty Chocolate Flecked Cocoa-Mascarpone Frozen Terrine
I am tired of waiting to make ostensibly fancy but actually quite simple desserts just because I know I do not have the time (or the hands, let’s be honest) to make them as pretty as they should be. So I whipped this up–faster than I would ever make chocolate chip cookies (and not the…
Hole Of Shame Hazelnut Carmelitas
I was in a used bookstore the other day when I happened across a small baking book devoted to coffeehouse treats. I had tried and true recipes for everything in it, except for carmelitas. Which I had never heard of and which sounded amazing. I could not really justify buying the book for just one…
Taste & Create Plus One: Chocolate Chip Coffee Scones & Brownie Scones
Here’s the deal: when I make anything coffee flavored for dessert, I usually need to make 2 things, because how cruel is it to make something my toddlers cannot eat? But I love coffee flavored desserts (although I cannot abide straight coffee), so 2 different scone flavors it was. I got these coffee flavored scones…

Why does peppermint seem out of place in the summer? Yes it is a holiday flavor, but it is so cooling and refreshing, the perfect complement to chocolate on a hot summer day. That’s my story anyway. I found this recipe, sans peppermint, in Marcel Desaulniers’ Death By Chocolate Cookies. I am not a big…
Happy Belated Birthday Alex! Worms in Dirt Mousse Cups
Belated because near the end of Alex’s party on Sunday, when nearly everyone was gone anyway, we had the mother of all thunderstorms, got 2 inches of water in 30 minutes (sending our creek into flash flood), and had a big power surge, which, while we did not lose power, totally destroyed our internet box….
Chocolate Shortbread
I have been searching for some time now for a chocolate shortbread recipe that made me happy. I mean, chocolate, shortbread, 2 of my favorite things–should be a marriage made in heaven, right? But many of them were on the dry side to me. Good example: these Carole Walter bars, which were good but not…
The Spiced Life Café de Leche Cheesecake
The Spiced Life Café de Leche Cheesecake is a combination of classic flavors in a creamy, indulgent cheesecake. My mother begs for this dessert regularly. “This is the best cheesecake I have ever had.” I almost keeled over when those words came out of my mother’s mouth. I was pretty sure up until that point…
