Do you ever make a dessert, virtuously share it (i.e., get it the h*ll out of your house before you devour it all), only to obsess on it for the following days, desperately craving what you gave away? I have had that problem with Joe’s Mini Peanut Butter Cup Bars. I just cannot get them…
Joe’s Mini Peanut Butter Cup Bars
Before I forget, I wanted to share a great way to prepare local greens that really hi-lights the flavor of the greens: greens tossed with a crumbled cheese (we love French feta, any blue cheese, feta or goat cheese will work), grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced sweet bell peppers and/or cukes, and a white wine…
Baking At Mom’s House: Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake
Do you do much baking or cooking at other people’s homes? For the most part, I do not, but I do at my mom’s house and at my in-laws’.Probably because these are the 2 locations I am most likely to be hanging out at for a while and pitching in with the cooking, baking and…
Magpie’s Mom’s Peanut Butter Bars
Do you have any dishes that even though you know they aren’t that difficult, for whatever reason *you* have never tried to make them and so they seem a little extra daunting. These peanut bars were that way for me—and so my pride in them is probably excessive! I have just never done layer bars…

Ellie Krieger’s Triple Chocolate Cookies
I just got back in town from being gone for a few days, but I made this recipe right before I left. Things were hectic and I never took any pictures, but I still decided it was better to get some recipe from me than not at all (and that is why you see Finnegan…
The Frogs Are Back!: Whipped Cream Pound Cake with Chocolate Shavings
In December 2014 I updated this cake with an awesome peppermint variation and also took much better pictures! I promised you another Carole Walter treat, and I am not going to disappoint. But before I get there, let me share something else really exciting (well to us and everyone else north of the Mason Dixon…
My Best Blondies
My Best Blondies are like old friends in my kitchen; they are flexible to different chips, chunks and nuts, and are there when I need them. Probably one of the most made recipes in my kitchen, I have been asked for this recipe countless times. I don’t have anything savory to share with you for…
Time For Sweets: Billy’s Vanilla Vanilla Cupcakes & Nancy Baggett’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunkers
I haven’t posted about desserts for a while (for me anyway).This week I baked some dough I already had in the freezer from Christmas and I also made the Billy’s Vanilla Vanilla Cupcakes.The cupcakes I made exactly as written—I found the recipe on both A Cracking Good EggandA Whisk and A Spoon(both blogs of fellow…
