How to Make Chocolate Mousse
This is a serious dessert mousse, friends. A chocolate experience so rich, velvety and decadent, a few tablespoons is really all that any one person needs. I usually chuckle when I watch Mrs. Pastry eat chocolate bars, because she nibbles them like a mouse, savoring every tiny morsel. However even I — a man known to wolf chocolate bars down by the handful — eat this only incrementally, off the tip of a spoon. With a little pâte à bombe on hand, chocolate mousse is a ridiculously easy thing to make.
Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts with maple glaze
I didn’t know Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts existed before I thought them up and went running to my kitchen. Turns out they do exist… and they existed all over my kitchen counter before they stopped existing because I ate them all. Ok. Not true. I didn’t eat them aalllll.
Spicy Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream
This ice cream is unlike anything I’ve ever had. It’s spicy and sweet, hot and cold, and blissfully creamy. It skips nothing in terms of heavy cream and half-and-half, but you really only need one scoop. I promise!

I’m rich, I’m rich! Thousand Dollar Bars
Have you ever baked something that made you do the Daffy Duck? You know, the cartoon scene where Daffy runs about yelling, “I’m rich, I’m rich, whoop, whoop, yippee, I’m rich!” He’s bouncing around on his head, feet, hands, and rump in a spastic outpouring of sheer joy. Yep, the Daffy Duck. Not everything we bake here in the kitchen gets us to do the Daffy Duck. Sometimes we do the swoon, the table grip (hold me Ralphie, I’ve died and gone to heaven).
Better Than Takeout Orange Chicken - StumbleUpon
Yesterday as I stood in the kitchen trying to figure out what to make for dinner I wondered to myself, how do those people do it on those shows where they are given random ingredients and are suppose come up with something genius. I think I stood there for a solid 20 minutes looking in the cupboards and staring into the freezer hoping that I would be struck by some ingenious idea. Then I saw the oranges, and it hit me “O-raang Shh-ikun”….that is orange chicken if you can’t understand the accent. I love orange chicken, and I almost always order # 14 Orange Chicken when we order Chinese take out and I wondered to myself if I could make it better at home. This recipe most definitely delivered! Ha ha Chinese food…delivered….get it?

Homemade Pop-Tarts
When I was a kid, I loved Pop-Tarts. My mom rarely bought them for us because of how unhealthy they are, but when I saw those babies in the pantry, I was pretty excited! My favorite was always strawberry, which is why I decided to make that version of these myself.

A Subtle Revelry
There is not much I like more than pinatas for birthday parties. Their festive nature just seems to make any day more special. I awoke up at 2am one night with this crazy idea that we could make a birthday cake that would hide treats inside, just like a pinata.
A Tasty Recipe: That’s the Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had – Tasty Kitchen Blog
I’ve been intrigued with this frosting recipe for months, not just because of its alluring title, but also because if its ingredients. Five tablespoons of flour? In frosting? Let’s just say my interest was piqued. I finally got around to making it yesterday evening; Marlboro Man’s grandmother has some old friends staying at The Lodge and I wanted to take them a treat.
