St. Patrick’s Day Mint Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

Posted on March 16, 2012

I’m usually so bad about coming up with holiday-themed desserts.  But today, in honor of my LAST DAY OF WORK and tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day, I’m sharing something so easy that you won’t mind making it last minute. The secret to these sandwiches is a pre-made wafer cookie.  Shhh, I won’t tell.  Stuff them…

Hi, friends!  I have so much to share with you from my Foodbuzz weekend but an apartment full of boxes is keeping me from the blog right now.  In fact, I still haven’t found my underwear (thank G-d for now having a washer and dryer in the apartment!).  On the upside, I don’t have to…

Ice Cream Pie with a New Year's Eve Worthy Topping

Posted on January 1, 2011

A few months ago I received a few coupons for free Stonyfield's ice cream or frozen yogurt.  I finally used the coupons just in time for their expiration date and was inspired to use my frozen yogurts to make a New Year’s Eve dessert.  I’ll leave a full review of the yogurt for a separate…

How do You Define the Perfect Cookie?

Posted on December 23, 2010

Who doesn’t like a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie?  No one I know.  At the same time, if you put 100 people together in a room and had them each describe their perfect chocolate chip cookie, you would get 100 different answers.  My dad, for one, LOVES crispy cookies.  He likes to bite into a chocolate…

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Love

Posted on December 19, 2010

I love peanut butter.  If a day goes by where I don’t have it, I experience withdrawal symptoms.  A few days without it? Don’t mess with me. As much as I loved being in Italy for my honeymoon this summer, going without peanut butter for almost two weeks may have been enough to convince me…

Topped with Marshmallows

Posted on December 16, 2010

It seems that there are two types of people when it comes to a Sweet Potato Casserole: Those who cover theirs with toasty melty marshmallows, and those who don’t.  Do you think I am biased? You already know I love to sneak dessert-like side dishes onto my table.  Why wouldn’t I top my Sweet Potato…

Extra is Better

Posted on December 12, 2010

This recipe was a complete accident.  I was making Cookie Dough Topped Brownies and feeling over-confident in my memory of the brownie ingredients.  When I got past the step of stirring in sugar, I realized something was wrong.  The batter was much thicker than it should be. Fortunately, I realized that my mistake was adding…
