Were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a regular staple for you as a kid? Then you’re going to love these.
This recipe has been in my bookmarks for a while, but it wasn’t until I tasted the PB&J truffle from Ethel’s last week that I was reminded how great the peanut-butter-jelly-chocolate combo is. I think […]

Taste Tester and I took a quick trip over to Vegas for business this week. Instead of getting drunk and gambling away our life’s worth, we learned a few things about Sin City:
- It is truly awesome to leave the snow shovels and thermals behind to run around outside in a t-shirt in mid-February.
- […]

Snow Day! What’d you do to celebrate? I made cookies!

I have been particularly happy with this month’s Every Day with Rachael Ray and not just because of their crazy in-depth pizza article. One of my favorite contributors to Rachael’s mag is Silvana Nardone. I made her Cheesecake-Filled Pumpkin Cupcakes from the November issue and as […]

The holidays are here! Are you in full-on holiday baking crazy mode? Me too!
I opened up the latest issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray and to find a feature about kitchen tools that are necessary for holiday cooking. At first I was surprised that they included the cookie press. I had received one as a […]

I was hoping to get this gift guide up a little sooner, but thankfully you still have some time to order your gifts and have them sent off for the holidays! (At least if it’s too late, you can always bookmark this page and save it for Valentine’s Day.)
It’s no secret that over the last […]

Thanksgiving is an easy holiday to love. You get to think about everything you’re thankful for as you chow down on a mountain of delicious food. If only we could do this every day.
I am thankful for a lot of things - too many to list here, so I thought I’d concentrate on one new […]

I LOVE biscotti, but Taste Tester has never really bothered with it. Biscotti tends to have nuts, which he can’t eat, and he’s also not crazy about the dry texture. But I think after whipping up a batch of Peanut Butter & Co’s Peanut Butter Biscotti with the addition of Askinosie Bittersweet Chocolate Chunks and […]

When I think of homemade baked goods, I generally dream of fuuudgy brownies and sofffft cookies. Soft and chewy treats are definitely my preference, however there are a few exceptions - one of which is the crispy, crunchy florentine.
Florentines are thin lace cookies traditionally made with chopped almonds. Unfortunately Taste Tester can’t eat nuts, so […]

Jenny, of the awesome blog Jenny Mac’s Lipsmack was kind enough to share a bunch of delicious recipes that she’s made and blogged about. Here they are, but be warned - that summer diet you were so good about sticking to is about to be ruined (but you expected that from the moment you opened […]

It’s amazing how Boston is only a three hour drive away and yet I’ve only been there a few times in my life. Taste Tester and I visited this past weekend and had a great time. There are lots of fun things to do there like:
Thing #1: Walk the Freedom Trail and see some historic […]
