Guiness Chocolate Cake
I’ve been making this cake for years. It’s rich and moist and the frosting is so stinkin’ good. With St. Patty’s day happening tomorrow, I thought it was a great time to share this cake with you!
Blissful Chocolate Cake
I want to cry with chocolate covered tears because of this cake. This is one of those recipes that you file under top secret in your recipe drawer. Because if you ever want to make dinner party guests, friends, family or a man swoon – this would surely do the trick. In honor of V-Day tomorrow, I thought the ladies (and gents too!) would need this to add to their arsenal.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini
I hear it’s Valentine’s day tomorrow. All the parent’s of the world understand how this day means a romantic dinner at home because who wants to babysit on Valentine’s?? Honestly, I would rather be home. We can whip something delicious up, play a board game and….ahem…enjoy each other’s “company.”
S’mores Pops
I’ve recently started a new addiction.
Hello, my name is Jessica and I’m addicted to Pinterest.
Hi Jessica.
Pip’s Caramel Pops
It’s that time of the year ALREADY??!?!? Seriously. I feel like it was last week that my girlfriends and I were talking about summer and drinking margaritas in the backyard. Now the leaves are changing and Pixie is amped up about this year’s Halloween costume, Ariel. Which of course also means it is nearing her birthday. Every morning her first question is, “Mommy? Is TODAY my birthday?”
Flourless Nutella Cake
Oh Nutella, how I love thee…. Growing up we would make these amazing crepes by spreading Nutella on them, rolling them up and chowing them down (don’t worry, the French crepe recipe is coming soon). Recently, my mom and Pixie were out running errands together before the three of us went for pedicures. Don’t judge! It was for my mom’s birthday and Pixie is a GIRLY. GIRL! So, my mom calls me and says, “We got too busy and never got her any lunch. She’s been eating her snacks but will you bring her a sandwich too?” And I’m thinking to myself, “well it is kind of a special occasion so I will make her a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich.” I’ve never seen a kid eat a sandwich so fast. She was covered in Nutella and had this goofy cross eyed look on her face like, “where have you been all of my life Nutella!?!?!? I’m only 3 1/2 but where have you been!?!?!” Anyways, back to this cake. This is my husband’s absolute favorite cake. Well, this one and my Guiness Chocolate Cake. Each year for his birthday I can almost guarantee he will ask for this cake. And then his eyes inevitably end up crossing… and I see where Pixie gets it from.
Hubby’s note: There are two things that my wife does that makes my eyes cross. This is the “G” rated one. And this cake is so good, it may possibly be a substitute for the other one. I like it with Port. Or Tobin James’ Late Harvest Zinfandel. This cake actually melts in your mouth. I don’t mean that as a cliche. It physically melts. No chewing required. Eating this cake is like floating on a warm hazelnut cloud. Um…that made much more sense in my head. And for the record, i’m working on butching up the girly girl.
French Kiss in a Peanut Butter Hot Tub (Peanut Butter with Chocolate Kisses)
Peanut butter and chocolate. Whoever came up with Reese’s recipe is a genius because those two flavors really are the perfect pair. Just be sure your dough isn’t too soft when you bake these cookies. Otherwise they come out flat and once you push the chocolate kiss into it…It’s doesn’t really look like, um, a cookie anymore.
Hubby’s note: I’ve got nothing. Nothing tops Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
