Homemade Chocolate Syrup Recipe
I love it when I can easily make something at home and it turns out to be just as good or better than the more expensive store-bought kind. I’ve been wanting to try some homemade chocolate syrup. The basic recipe is very simple, but there are a few variations of it, so the other day I decided to experiment with them and have a chocolate syrup taste test. Not a shabby way to spend the afternoon!
Two Minute Mug Brownie
I’ve found myself without any chocolate in the house – and in desperate need of some – while watching the Grammys this weekend, and so during the commercials I mixed up a dense, fudgy mug brownie without missing any of the show. Richer and more intense than the average mug cake, this ultra-simple brownie for one is totally divine. Use unsweetened cocoa powder – it has much more chocolate flavor than sweetened drink mixes like powdered Quick.
Peanut Butter- S’Mores Turnovers
Peanut Butter- S’Mores Turnovers I’m not much of a camper. My husband often takes my son on camping trips, and I happily stay behind and thank the gods for our bug-free house, cozy bed and well-stocked kitchen. I always send them off in comfort… marinate a little meat for them to throw on the grill, pack up some convenience foods and bake a few goodies too. When they return from their camping weekends, I hear mostly about the evenings sitting around the campfire. Story telling, snuggling in blankets, singing songs and roasting marshmallows for S’Mores seem to be recurring favorites.
Frozen Banana Bites
Planning to try this recipe? Be sure to check out the new Banana Bites FAQs post answering some of the most frequently asked questions for the best results and fun variations! I'm the kind of person who cannot go through even one day without consuming at least two servings of chocolate. OK. Maybe I've survived before with just one (possibly zero if my peanut butter intake was high enough that day). The point is, I'm addicted to desserts.
Banana Split Bites
Banana Split Bites ~ A classic ice cream dessert gets mini for some bite size fun. And yes, there is actually a tiny scoop of ice cream tucked inside and underneath the whip cream of those little darlings. Banana Split Mini Bites For once I made something mini for portion control and not just for the cute factor. My little guy had some friends over the other day and of course with a mom who is a baker, the expectation is dessert will not only be good but it will be fun. And I was asked, by friend Caroline, not to let her boys eat too much dessert.
Easy Vegetable Pot Stickers Recipe
During the past few weeks, I’ve been a mean cooking machine. From the amazing cake mix cookies to the incredibly popular Chicken Fajita Tacos, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen and then sharing with all of you. If you’ve been visiting often, you know I’m not a natural in the kitchen. So, you can pretty much guarantee, that if I can pull off the recipe, you can pull off the recipe.
Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
My little brother is a college hockey player in a neighboring state, who happened to break his arm pretty badly the other night during a game. I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say it warranted a phone call to me at 1am from my extremely worried parents, who, thankfully happened to be at the game and were able to go with him to the hospital overnight. They ended up bringing him back home for the weekend so he could rest and relax. Since he’ll be out for the rest of the season, he’s pretty bummed.
Chocolate Chip Cookies by Baked
I hope that everyone had a fun Valentine’s Day. I told Kramer that I was going to the gym after work, but instead, I managed to get home before he did and whip up one of our favorite dishes, orange chicken, for the special occasion. It may not be the most romantic meal, but it’s really good and I rarely make it (plus, it’s pretty easy to make after work). We enjoyed a quiet night together after dinner, watched some quality episodes of 30 Rock, and were asleep by 10:30 PM.

the art of merrymaking
With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I am excited to share a couple projects to celebrate the holiday with subtly and style. These milk heart cubes are a sweet surprise for your man’s morning coffee or a tall glass of milk. As they melt, the milk turns pink (the twins were in love!). To make the milk cubes, combine milk and a few drops of red food coloring together in a small bowl. Fill an ice cube tray, my heart one is from Ikea and freeze overnight.
Ego maniac with sprinkles…
Sorry to those of you who thought I had an actual heart attack on Thursday. I can assure you if I really did have one, at no point would I be posting a post about cookies on the blog. I mean I am dedicated to this blog and all, but that’s a bit much.
