I wish I could say that I was the genius who thought this recipe up. But no, this recipe has been a family favorite for years. They start out innocent enough. They look like just a chocolate cookie with some chocolate frosting on top. But they have a special surprise …

While there aren’t any of members of my immediate family on a gluten free diet, I know how hard it can be to stick to gluten free treats.  That is why I’m happy to see Merissa Alink is back with another great recipe, this time with a Gluten Free Zucchini …

My husband is actually quite easy to predict most of the time when it comes to his treats. He has his favorites, two of them being brownies and cake-like cookies. So when my three year old begged me to bake on a rainy day, I decided to make some chewy …

I know, I know.  I missed the Valentine’s Day boat with these heart-shaped sandwiches of sin.  I’m a horrible baker-wife. I realized on Valentine’s morning, as we sat planning what we were going to make for our most-romantic-dinner-on-the-couch-that-night-while-watching-The Americans-and-drinking-a-bottle-of-Monte-Bello, that I had nothing to offer The Husband by way of dessert. “Oh shit.” …

What have I been thinking? I looked back on the recipes I’ve been making lately and they’re as white as the Oscars. It’s time to bring back the chocolate, folks, because- wait.  I don’t even need to explain the rationale on this.  Chocolate speaks for itself. I commit that I will …

I know, I know.  This dessert looks like I missed the December holiday train, and I’ve gotta be honest, I kind of did. I technically made the candy-cane-littered dessert in time for the whole Christmas rush thing, and I even parsed a few off to my 101 year-old Grandma who …
