ooey gooey peanut buttery brownies.

These brownies were simply amazing…

I served them with ultra rich vanilla bean ice cream.  Shame on me.

And you thought this blog was all about eating nutritiously… Read more

I’m considering starting a business where I bottle the scent of toasted coconut, almonds and chocolate and sell it so that homes across America can smell so outrageously delicious.  Would you buy it?

candy bar trifles.

I think you’ll enjoy these trifles.  They are a bit labor intensive and pricey to make but SOOOOO worth it.  I served them at last weekend’s party and had gaggle of recipe requests.

Hang on.  We’re headed for a chocolate hangover… Read more

My purpose in setting out to make homemade cherry ice cream was two fold: Read more

chocolatey oreo wafers.
