I thought it was our secretary’s birthday. So I wanted to make her something chocolate-y and delicious. I came up with this little recipe. It was perfect. Except today wasn’t her birthday. In fact, this isn’t even the right season for her birthday. It’s in October. Got it. But I’m pretty sure she still appreciated the […]
Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
Remember these brownies? The brownies of thick, chewy glorious chocolate heaven? I made them for our Valentine’s celebration. But I froze half of them. For such a time as this. We have both been craving ice cream something crazy recently. And we’ve indulged ourselves a few times with our favorite local ice cream parlour. But. […]
Cappuccino Fudge Cheesecake
With Easter Sunday quickly approaching, I knew I wanted to make a fantastic dessert. We’re hosting much of our family for dinner, so this would be the perfect opportunity to indulge ourselves with something rich and delicious (which shouldn’t be around for too long for the two of us to get fat on!) Annie came […]
Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
Recently I borrowed a great cookie resource from my local library–Martha Stewart’s Cookies. I’m not in any way, shape or form a Martha fan, but I AM a fan of cookies and this cookbook is choc full of great recipes. Some of them are just ridiculously extravagant for my taste, but I was pleasantly surprised to discovery […]

Chewy, Fudgy Triple Chocolate Brownies
Valentine’s Day is coming up. But we’ve been spreading out our celebration (mostly because our weekend is jam packed already). Yesterday we went out for our annual “hunt for the next great pizza place.” And today I decided to bake up the chocolately goodness I had been planning. I couldn’t decide what to make–truffles, brownies, […]

Hot Cocoa Mix
For many of our Christmas gifts this year I personalized mugs and filled them with homemade hot cocoa mix. I had trouble deciding which recipe of hot cocoa to use, but when I saw an overlap between Annie’s and Michelle’s I knew I had found a winner. With a bag of mix leftover I had […]
