Three weeks in the Chicagoland area sounded like a long time and yet it flew by. We saw lots and ate lots on our trip. We had one last weekend in the city before leaving the area and tried to make the most of it.
We took an architectural boat tour down the Chicago River…

Hi! I’ve missed you! Sorry it’s taken so long for me to write but I have a great reason for my absence: I’ve been working on a cookbook! I’m actually being commissioned to co-write the book for someone else so it’s not a book entirely about chocolate and peanut butter as you may expect, but […]

My sister had seen Bobby Flay battle The Doughnut Plant on Throwdown with Bobby Flay so when we decided to spend the day in the city together, she really didn’t care where we went as long as she got to taste some of those doughnuts. I don’t […]
Well, I can safely say that this wasn’t the healthiest weekend for Taste Tester and I. It was a good one, though!
Custard is one of those desserts that I could generally take or leave. However, when you add chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels to it, I’m all over it! If you’re not familiar with Shake […]
This may look like your average ordinary toasted sandwich on first glance, but the “bread” is actually pound cake. Yes, I’m afraid we may have hit a new caloric high today on The CPB Gallery.

I’m going to assume that the use of the word, ‘nirvana’ means that it will help bring you to some kind of chocolate peanut butter superhuman bliss. Then again, maybe the recipe’s creators were just rocking out to […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
