Double birthdays means double the birthday treats! Taste Tester and I celebrated our birthdays with Chocolate Opera Cake and Happy Face Peanut Butter Pancakes (see sketch after the break). Read on for the recipes!
Just a small note before you continue: some internet meanies have been tinkering with my site (jerks!). We are working on fixing […]

I’ve had this recipe for Barefoot Contessa’s Banana Pancakes bookmarked for a while with the note, “Holy crap these look good.”
This may sound crazy to those of you who can easily whip up the perfect stack of pancakes, but for years I tried and failed to make a thick and fluffy batch. I tried lots […]

Behold, the leaning tower of chocolate peanut butter bars! Bow down to its glory, mere mortal! And read on to find out where to get your own.

Lindsay, who you may remember from the Atlanta Cupcake Tour was in town visiting us last weekend and we managed to eat and/or drink at 22 different places in […]

I’ve already raved about P.B.Loco’s Peanut Butter with Raspberry White Chocolate, but it’s now time to put the spotlight on it’s fellow spread, the Cocoa Banana.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to do anything fun with this peanut butter like bake cookies with it or drizzle it over ice cream - I was too busy eating it […]

Okay people, it’s time: I simply have to profess my love for Nigella Lawson’s Nigella Express. It’s way overdue, but better late than never, right? So let me tell you, I LOVE this book. Taste Tester was kind enough to get it for me for no reason other than to fuel my crazy cookbook addiction. […]

I’m not sure this banana bread recipe quite deserves the title of ‘best ever’, but it’s real good and nice and moist. I used some pretty black bananas and replaced the pecans with raisins due to Taste Tester’s nut sensitivity. It wouldn’t be nice to poison him for breakfast… gotta at least wait til lunch […]

Ladies and gentlemen, I realized something very unfortunate today. We are pretty well into summer and I have not yet had an ice cream sandwich! That’s just wrong!
The realization came while checking Martha Stewart’s Cookie of the Day page, where I found these awesome looking PB&J Pops. Now, I love PB&J but I love PB&C […]

I have been a fan of Stonyfield Farm Yogurt for a long time. In fact, I’m pretty sure that I survived my college years on a habitual diet of Odwalla Bars, Peanut Butter & Co Peanut Butters, Pepperidge Farm Soft-Baked Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Stonyfield Farm Yogurt. So you can imagine my excitement when I […]

It’s been a little while since cupcakes have graced The CPB Gallery. It’s been a while for banana, too. But today is our lucky day - we’ve got both!
I bake from scratch most of the time, but every now and again I use a little help from the grocery. Who doesn’t? This recipe isn’t totally […]

As I’ve mentioned many times, […]
