Chicken with Mock Mole Sauce of Almonds, Orange, Chocolate and Sherry is a delicious introduction to using chocolate in Mexican mole sauce. A copy of Bold: A Cookbook of Big Flavors was sent to me by the publishers for the purposes of an honest review. Affiliate links have been used to link to items discussed in this…

Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs in Blood Oranges with Meyer Lemons and Sherry is the perfect pick me up dinner for winter!

Orange Marshmallows
Orange Marshmallows, with or without chocolate chips sprinkled on top, are great for eating out of hand and sending in a care package to loved ones (in colder, drier weather). Wow this late Thanksgiving threw me for a loop. Anyone else feeling like they have no time between now and Christmas? I nearly went into…
#Bundtamonth: Strawberry Jam Glazed Spiced Pound Cake with Buttermilk and Orange

#BundtAMonth: Vanilla Orange Bundt Cake with a Hint of Coconut

Have you ever tried baking without vanilla (I did not have any alternatives, like beans or paste, available)? It is really hard! I finally…
