Chocolate Chip Cookie Surprise Cake
After discussing the open armed reception of last week’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cake, a new idea was brought to my attention: “What if you did a cookie dough frosting, and then, like had cookie dough or cookies inside?” Wham, bam, fantastic idea! Mission accomplished – happy tummies and big smiles all around. Chocolate Chip…

Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk Cookies
So, I’ve gotten myself into this terrible habit. Those of you who really know me are laughing hysterically on the inside (and maybe aloud), as you know that my life is centered around a series of habit (good and bad) and routine. I am predictable to a “T.” I have my schedule and I follow…

Triple Chocolate Blackberry Rosemary Silk Cake
I haven’t baked a cake in a just a little while…I’m not sure how long it’s been, but long enough. And, I know many, many, many, many people who enjoy dark chocolate, lots of it, a triple load, in fact. I also know from personal experience that combining both blackberries AND fresh rosemary together with…

Cheddar Bacon Chive Pastry Pinwheels
Happy SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! Over the years, as I think about it, I’ve planned and participated in watching the famous Super Bowl Game Day commercials many a time. (I’ve actually planned much more often than following through – ). But there has rarely been a day when I actually sat and watched the game. Whether…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cake
After binge-watching (that’s the only way to do it, right?) the entire Season 5 of Grace and Frankie over the course of two days, I was inspired to bake a “surprise cake!” This is the type of cake that surprises you – when you slice into it, loads of treats come pouring out! It’s sort…

Gluten Free Vegan Frosted Cupcakes
I cherish and adore my yoga community. They have and continue to make an amazing difference in my life. Welcoming supportive, and all-loving, these people make my heart sing. When I miss I class, I am certainly always regretful. I when I get myself there, I am a much happier camper – in all ways….

Red Velvet Strawberry Layer Cake
My family is constantly working on the ultimate “purge.” Let me clarify, we clean out our closets monthly, donating what is not needed, and do our best to keep the house clutter free. I’d like to claim I’m “the best” at this task, and I think Brian would attest to that. No clutter – I…

Honey Peanut Butter Chocolate Bread Bites
A few weeks ago I had some leftover bread dough and decided I’d make Brian a sweet treat for breakfast: a Honey Peanut Butter Chocolate Roll, to be precise. It was like a cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon sugar, I filled the dough with honey peanut butter and chocolate chips. It was a huge…

Prosciutto Winter Squash Blue & White Pizza
I believe I’ve mentioned many times before how much I adore Kabocha squash. Of all the lovely orbs that abound over the winter, a Kabocha or even a Delicata will always suffice. In fact, it’s a close call between the two on some days – but one always wins out. I relish in winter squash…

Cranberry Apple Spiced Pie
Apple pie is a thing all year round. Cranberry pie is a thing around the holidays, as is pecan pie – Bourbon Pecan Pie, to be specific. Well, the holidays have passed, but I’m still baking pie and I firmly believe everyone should follow suit. And apple pie is always a thing. We live in…
