Buttermilk Honey Bread

It’s been a while since I made this bread, but I’ve been backed up with other goodies to post that I’ve neglected this one.  We hosted Easter dinner for some of our friends this year, and along with Strawberry Mirror Cake and Pineapple Casserole, I wanted to make a bread.  Even though I don’t eat [...]

Chocolate Cream Tart (TWD)

We rounded out our month of decadent desserts with this Chocolate Cream Tart.  I love anything chocolate, so I knew I would love this.  I have gotten to be quite a fan of pastry cream since I have made it so often as a part of the TWD group, but I had never tried chocolate [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake (Daring Bakers)

The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey’s Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge. Holy freaking amazing cheesecake, Batman!  I’ve posted a few time in the past that I’m not a big cheesecake person.  It started to change when I made the Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake, and realized that I [...]

Key Lime Coconut Blondies

Now that it’s spring, I thought I would make a dessert to celebrate the warm weather that is about to come (hopefully!).  I found these Key Lime Coconut Blondies and thought they would be perfect.  Blondies are great because they are so easy to put together and will please almost anyone.  These blondies were a [...]

Death By Chocolate Cake

When it comes to desserts, I go for the chocolate all the way.  To me, there is nothing better than a big piece of chocolate cake.  Two years ago I had the best piece of chocolate cake ever at a restaurant called The Mustard Seed in Charleston, SC.  A few of our favorite restaurants in [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie: Four Star Chocolate Bread Pudding

I don’t have a lot of experience with bread pudding.  I’ve only had it a couple of times, and haven’t been totally crazy about  it, but liked it okay enough.  I think the problem was that I never really had good bread pudding.  I mean, I think the last time I remember having it was [...]

Monster Cookies

I was looking for a good cookie to make, and these seemed to fit the bill perfectly.  Monster cookies are basically a combination of everything- oats, M&Ms, chocolate chips, and peanut butter.  I think it would be good to even throw some raisins in there!  These are incredibly easy to make.  The recipe states that [...]

Triple Chocolate Scotcheroos

When I first saw these, I knew that I had to make them because they looked so fun.  Sometimes when I was younger, my mom would make my sister and me Rice Krispie Treats out of Cocoa Krispies instead, which was a welcome change for me since I am such a big chocolate fan.  I [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie: Chocolate Amaretti Torte

This post is going to be short and sweet because I’m already running short on time, as you can see since I am posting this much later in the day than I normally do.  The picture is also quite craptasic, as I also did that in a rush.  I did so much baking last week [...]

Strawberry Mirror Cake

I am not always into fruity desserts, but I think that it is necessary for Easter.  We got together with our friends and each contributed something to the meal.  David was in charge of the meat, and I made pineapple casserole (David can’t have Easter without it!), a bread (to be posted later), and this [...]
