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.
- […]

On our latest trip to Chicagoland, Taste Tester and I tried a few new chocolate peanut butter cupcakes in addition to our standby faves from Molly’s.
The Bleeding Heart Bakery started out on Chicago Ave just a few blocks from where Taste Tester and I lived in Chicago a few years ago. Not being vegan or […]

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 […]

Just to give you an idea of what a few days in the life of a total sweets addict are like, here’s a list of all the baked goods I ate / ogled over the holiday weekend. Taste Tester’s family was in town and we wandered all over the city for various tourist activities, so […]

It’s a pretty obvious fact that our country is a bit unstable at the moment. But letting the sinking economy affect your holiday cheer isn’t going to do any good.
Instead, we should all be thankful that even though there are so many awful things going on in the world, many of us including myself […]

I wish I had taken a picture of this marvelous brownie with a bite taken out of it. It was so moist that the inside was glistening. Of course if i let myself think about how much butter it took to get it to glisten … well … i just prefer not to think about […]

Go ahead, call me immature for posting this photo. It looks like she’s analyzing some dog’s unhealthy excrement and it makes me giggle like a 10 year old boy. She’s really making some almond brittle and I had some - it was quite good. But more on treats from The Chocolate Fair in a minute…
