Hey there! This cake initially caught my eye because of its pretty pink frosting with those lovely, glossy blood orange slices on top and of course, the originality of it. You can always find recipes for lemon cakes or lemon loaves but never blood orange – the rare beauty. I found this where you can find all of…

Hey there, So did the mention of Weight Watchers turn you off or on to this recipe? If you’re not sure, let me tell you, these bites are all kinds of “wow” including the whispery, gaspy type of “wow” and the loud, pleasantly surprised one. Now, I did not entirely go slim on you but after…

Banana Bread with Pecans and Chocolate Chips
Hello there, This recipe is a favorite of mine and I make it whenever the occasion presents itself. Meaning: whenever I have bananas that are in a brown, sad state of affairs which is quite often. My husband is reluctant when it comes to fruit in general but I’d occasionally try to have him eat…

High Altitude Ghirardelli Oreo Brownies
These will make your taste buds smile. I am more a fan of Oreos than of brownies to tell the truth but put them together and you’ve got an irresistible combination. They’re not made from scratch, no, but they are soooo sinfully delicious. When I am not making my black bean brownies, I am makin’…

“Valen-tiny” Chocolate-dipped Espresso-Shortbread Cookies
Inspired by the holiday dedicated to love, love, love. Nothing says Valentine’s Day like hearts and chocolate. So, I made these cookies over the weekend for a party I was going to. These were, I thought, perfectly Valen-tiny. These are quite small but packed with a deliciously satisfying chocolatey-coffee flavor – highly addictive! I find that adding coffee in one form…

The Best Deep Fried Oreos – NYC Fair Food
Everybody loves fair food, am I right? Corn-dogs (Pogos), funnel cakes, cotton candy and my fav, deep-fried Oreos. I thought that the only place to properly enjoy them would be, where I first discovered them – at the New York Italian Festival, honoring San Gennaro. At his yearly event, you will find kiosk after kiosk…
