Triple Chocolate Candy Bar Brownies

December 16, 2012 10 Comments

You know how sometimes, when you’re on a diet, and you’re trying to be really good and not eat too many carbs or bad fats or refined sugars, somehow instead of losing weight you end up gaining weight because thinking about all the things you’re not supposed to eat just makes you crave those things…read more »

December 10, 2012 5 Comments

Does it ever feel like you’re constantly searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie? For me, definitely yes. A good 25% of my bookmarked recipes are for chocolate chip cookies. At least. Possibly more. What can I say, I’m a sucker for soft cookies with chocolate in them. And, if the posts on FoodGawker, Tastespotting, etc….read more »

Three Layer Fudge

December 6, 2012 4 Comments

What is it about fudge that makes me think of the holidays? Is it a pop culture thing? Could it be that fudge is too rich and melt-y to eat in the summer? Or maybe it’s because the only time I eat fudge is when someone brings a big box of it to my parents’…read more »

Jalapeno Jack Meatloaf with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

November 1, 2012 8 Comments

Did you guys get any Sandy action this weekend? We did. Wind, rain, and power loss – oh my! Fortunately the Northern VA area didn’t get hit nearly as hard as NJ and NY, and we only lost power for about a day. With all the wine and snacks we stocked up on before the storm,…read more »

Orange-o’-Lanterns

October 22, 2012 24 Comments

I’ve decided that I can’t be bothered to carve pumpkins this year. Too much effort, too much mess, and not enough of an audience to justify the blistered fingers (no trick or treating in our building, boooo!). Plus, who needs jack-o’-lanterns when you can make these adorable, versatile orange-o’-lanterns? The innards are easier to eat…read more »

Chocolate Covered Rice Krispy Treat Pops

October 18, 2012 4 Comments

Guys, why didn’t you tell me how delicious Rice Krispy treats are? I mean, it’s been a few years since I’ve tasted one, but I don’t remember them being this yummy. My mom used to make them all the time when I was a kid, and they were good, but definitely not my favorite. When I think…read more »

Tex-Mex Burger

Even though I regularly follow about a dozen food blogs, there are really only a handful of bloggers that I consistently turn to when I want ideas for certain things. Need a cupcake recipe? Annie’s Eats is the way to go. Margaritas? Definitely Confections of a Foodie Bride. Bars and brownies? Hello, Pinch of Yum….read more »
