Sweetheart Cherry Pies
Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that have become a bit too commercialized I think. I like to keep this holiday simple… so I helped my son make and mail valentine’s cards & bake something special. (UPDATE: Sweetheart chocolate chip cookies with love messages for this year!)
Death By Oreo Cupcakes - StumbleUpon
They are probably the best Oreo cakes I have ever tried. A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake.

Chocolate, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, Toasted Marshmallow Cupcakes
I’m totally a good person to surprise. If you tell me that you’re stuck in Seattle working all weekend, and you can’t come down for my birthday, I’ll believe you. I’ll believe you, because I love you and you’re not a liar. If you tell me that you’re working away in Phoenix, and you simple can’t get away to celebrate my birthday, I’ll believe you. I’ll believe you, because I love you and you’re not a liar. You’re going out of town to visit our grandparents?
Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
These aren't anything complicated. With five ingredients, they take only a few minutes to put together. In fact, these were probably the least time-intensive food at my Cheesecake Extravaganza. Yet, I had more than a few people come up and proclaim their love for the finger food. You don't have to throw a cheesecake party to serve these....I imagine they'd be welcomed just about anytime! Another great party food, these can be made ahead of time.

I'm the kind of person who cannot go through even one day without consuming at least two servings of chocolate. OK.

TENDER CRUMB: French Chocolate Brownies (TWD)
This weeks Tuesdays With Dorie selection French Brownies comes to us courtesy of Di at Di's Kitchen Notebook . Now, I don't know of anyone who doesn't appreciate the rich decadence and deep chocolatey flavor of a brownie. From these brownie aficianados, there are definite opinions on texture (cakey vs. fudgy), type of chocolate (semi-sweet vs bittersweet), and additions (choc chips, nuts, or no additions). Let's start by saying that I am of the cakey, bittersweet, no addition camp. For me, the most important ingredient in any brownie recipe is the chocolate.
Apple Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes
Apple Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes By Stefani Pollack Be sure to leave your kitchen while these apple pecan cinnamon roll cupcakes are baking. When you reenter the room, you’ll get to experience a sensational smell that is so strong you can almost see it cartoonishly wafting from your oven directly to your nose. When the cupcakes are done, quickly drizzle the tops with apple cider glaze.
