Chocolate and cherry.  Sigh. It really is a classic combo, but just lesser known on the whole rung of Famous Chocolate Combinations (you know- the ladder where almond, mint, peanut butter and caramel kind of rule).  Cherry is kind of down there with orange and raspberry, but no less worthy …

Have you seen ‘Still Alice’?  Yeah well, I might have early onset Alzheimers like that character with the red hair who won the Academy Award.  (I’m not even joking- I can’t remember her name right now.  Reinforcing my point.) I was at the store yesterday morning and bought cashews and …

You need time to bake these, so don’t make them if you’re a diabetic and need a hit of sugar to sustain your life. If, however, you have a couple of hours, you really should make these. Here’s what you need to know about this dessert: Meringue cookies are light …

Wow. Imagine a fluffy and light cookie, full of rich chocolate flavor, that’s somehow chewy and dense, too. It’s a contradiction.  It’s seemingly impossible.  And it’s happening folks, right here and now. Your gluten free friends will finally like you.  Your belly will probably like you better too.  There’s no …

Oatmeal and raisin has had the spotlight for years.  Let’s screw the raisins for a while and give chocolate its chance to shine (since chocolate has been under appreciated for so, so many years). Sometimes chocolate chunks have a place, and when it comes to oatmeal, it basically always has …

I know these cookies sound gross.  (Unless you’re the type who loves avocados, and if that’s the case, this is your fantasy sit-on-the-couch-binge-food.  So pull up a blanket and get ready for your guilt-free cookie feeding.) This recipe is so healthy that it deserves to taste like a combination of prison …

It’s been too long since I’ve put white chocolate and pistachio together (one year, five months, and fourteen days, but who’s obsessing about it or anything?).  For this inexplicably long amount of inexcusable time, I am sorry.  But I know I’ll redeem myself with this reunion-party-in-a-cookie. I’m a people-pleaser so I’ll …

Fear not the chocolate fire ball; a little spice never hurt any chocoholic (at least not permanently). Mixing savory and weird flavors with chocolate is all the rage these days (remember my Bacon Brownies?  I trepidatiously jumped on that bandwagon, if you even consider bacon a daring choice.).  I’ve tried chocolate-covered …

Look at them. All 15 of them. 15 Ghirardelli chocolate chips taunting you, begging to be devoured. I should mention that the 15 chips (on the muffin on the right, just in case you’re confused) are merely the chips on top of the muffin, whereas an entire gang of premium chocolate chips …
