Heart Shaped Sandwich Cookies with Chocolate Ganache

Homemade gifts are always my favorite.  To me, they feel more personal, thoughtful and like they come with an extra bit of love.  So this year I’m surprising my Valentine with a box of homemade heart-shaped sandwich cookies. This special treat has a thick layer of rich, chocolate ganache sandwiched between two pink, heart-shaped almond sugar [...]

Mexican Hot Chocolate Doughuts

I have to be honest, Valentine’s Day doesn’t do a whole lot for me; I could sort of take it or leave it.  Is that weird? Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers (especially peonies, hydrangeas and tulips, just in case anyone is curious), chocolates, love notes and fancy dinners.  But, I find all those things a [...]

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you can believe it (I’m still having a hard time believing it), I watched my very first episode of Top Chef last weekend.  And no, not my first episode of Season 10, but my first episode of the show, period.  I know!  Please stop giving me the face of judgment.  It’s not that I’ve [...]

Holiday Melting Moments Cookies

For the past week and a half holiday baking has been in full swing over here!  There’s a good chance I’ve gone through more sticks of butter and cups of flour & sugar in the past ten days, than I have in the first eleven months of the year. The oven has been going practically [...]

Cocoa Dusted Almonds

  Confession – I’m a snacker.  Without fail, everyday after lunch I need something sweet….preferably chocolate.  I’ve tried to break this nasty little habit about a million times, but I’ve only had very brief and staggering success.  I eventually hit a point when I decided to stop fighting it.     I’m a snacker, that’s just [...]

What’s better than a week that begins with no work on Monday?  A week that also ends with no work on Friday!  And, it’s happening again next week, too.  I could sort of get used to the 3-day work week thing I have going on. In just a little while I’m off to spend a [...]

Before we get to the good stuff (because, this is after all, a cooking blog, so over here cookies > running), I thought I’d start off with a quick recap from Saturday’s race.

Peanut Butter and Fleur de Sel Brownies

Some days call for dessert for breakfast…..like birthdays!  But before we talk about birthdays, we should talk about Peanut Butter & Fleur de Sel Brownies.  I think the name of these scrumptious little squares and the photos pretty much speak for themselves, but just to be on the safe side, I want to tell you [...]
