With the holidays quickly approaching, this is actually a recipe that I’ve seen floating around in several different places. And naturally, since it’s floating around in several different places, there are several different recipes for it. I’ve seen different types of chocolate, different nuts, added coconut, all kinds of stuff. Well, I kept this batchRead More
This has to be one of my favorite chicken dishes of all time. The first time I had it was on a dinner cruise in elementary school, and although the chicken cordon bleu I had then was one of the little frozen ones you can buy at the grocery store, I couldn’t get enough of it. SeveralRead More
I love mini tarts…they’re just so cute. They’re finger sized foods, similar to cookies, but they’re pretty, cute, and delicious. Did I mention they’re cute? I’ve had several types of mini tarts over the years, and decided to make some super chocolatey tarts at home. Just for the heck of it, because that’s just whatRead More
Spaghetti is such an easy meal, in so many ways. It’s very popular, it’s easy to heat up some sauce and to boil some noodles, and of course throwing some garlic bread in the oven. I honestly don’t remember ever hearing someone say “Eww!” when they heard they were having spaghetti for dinner. Shoot, theRead More
Over the weekend, my parents were in town. It was rounding about 11:30am, and my husband asked, “What are we going to do for lunch?” I thought for a minute, then got up to go searching in the kitchen to see if we had anything I could throw together (that wasn’t a processed meal). AsRead More
For Fall recipes, I’m constantly on the lookout for something different that looks delicious. Although there are still a few more pumpkin recipes I’d like to try out, this was next on the to-do list…and couldn’t wait to give this particular recipe a shot. I did some research on different recipes concerning gingerbread cakes, andRead More
Ahhh, the Fall season is officially here. And honestly, this isn’t the first pumpkin recipe that I’ve made in the past few weeks. It seems like so many people get pumped up when the season gets here to make pumpkin flavored desserts (me included), so I’ve already made some Pumpkin Bars and Pumpkin Cookies. Both batchesRead More
When it comes to cookies that have nuts in them, personally I’m a big fan. Not everyone is a big fan of nuts in their cookies and desserts, but one thing I have noticed is that it’s been almost impossible to find someone that does NOT like almond extract flavoring…even the people who don’t likeRead More
This year for my birthday, my sister-in-law got me a dessert recipe book. It’s Taste of Home, and a huge collection of recipes that other people have submitted over the years. It was actually somewhat comical when I was going through the book and marking the recipes I wanted to make with the little stickyRead More
For our very last class in culinary school, we had Advanced Baking and Pastry. So, you can only imagine my excitement, considering we were finishing up with the entire program with my favorite subject. Well, this was one of the cakes that I had the opportunity to make in class. The funniest part in making this cakeRead More
