I have a very sweet tooth, as you probably already know if you’ve been a reader of this blog for long. But lately, my sweet tooth is in overdrive. I’m making cookies almost every other day. A cupcake piled high with buttercream is usually one of the first things I think about in the morning. I want to chase every big bowl of fresh fruit with a bowl of ice cream.
I’m going to blame it on the baby and my weakened self-discipline, but it’s getting a little out of control. I need to reign it in, “detox”, or something along those lines… eventually, someday.
But not today, not when there are white chocolate brownies with pecans.
Blogging has enriched my life in so many ways, but probably the most rewarding is the friendships that have resulted because of it. Through blogging and social media I’ve made friends with other bloggers from all over and while some remain only online friends at this point, but others have become friends in real life. One such friend is Kelley of Mountain Mama Cooks. She’s from Park City, Utah and we’ve gotten to know each other through local food blogger gatherings.
We got together over the weekend to cook and bake, to talk blogging and food photography, and of course, to eat some great food. What was on the menu? Rich soup and cheesy biscuits, perfect for a chilly winter afternoon.
Looking for a last-minute sweet treat to serve your Valentine? Look no further! I have a simple and light, yet elegant dessert to share with you, one that’s sure to please without making a mess of your kitchen, and won’t leave you feeling too guilty afterwards.
It involves three main ingredients— strawberries, chocolate and whipped cream. It takes just 5 minutes to make (plus some chilling time). And nothing says romance quite like strawberries and chocolate.
Blueberry muffins… too basic, too boring? I admit that when presented with an option of muffins, I usually choose something else. Maybe something chocolately or with a streusel topping. In fact, before I baked these, I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a blueberry muffin.
These blueberry muffins are different. They are not boring, they are not dull. And I’ve been wishing I could start every morning with one (or two, or three) of these muffins, warm and fresh from the oven ever since I made them.
I made you a pie. And not just any pie, a Red Velvet Pudding Pie. I was going to save it for Valentine’s Day but I just can’t wait any longer to show it to you.
It’s got a chocolate cookie crust. It’s got a rich silky pudding filling with a subtle chocolate flavor and hint of tanginess, tinted red of course. And it’s got a fluffy whipped cream topping. It’s everything you can imagine a red velvet pie to be.
