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 […]

I may write about the same two ingredients all the time but you’ll rarely find me experimenting with chocolate and/or peanut butter on a savory level. Well, I went outside my comfort zone of cookies and brownies a little this week and gave savory a whirl.

It’s Peanut Butter Nutella time! Peanut Butter Nutella time!
All winter long I have been crazy for hot chocolate. Thankfully we have a helpful cookbook on our shelf called- well… Hot Chocolate. It includes many delicious chocolate drink recipes that will surely keep me happy for the rest of these evil winter months. It’s even got […]

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 […]

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 […]

Taste Tester and I were lounging around one night when suddenly I was ready for dessert, only to realize there was nothing around to snack on. How could I let such a thing happen?!
I was tired from being on my feet all day at work, so he kindly offered to make dessert for me. I […]
