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 […]

The description for this cookie recipe reads, “These are THE BEST cookies I have ever eaten. They are a definite hit. If you like peanut butter and chocolate - these cookies are for you!”
Since it sounded like whoever wrote this was talking directly to me, I knew I’d have to make them!
It was great […]

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.

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 […]

Adam of one of my favorite blogs, Amateur Gourmet recently […]

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 have a problem, and if you’re a blog reader / recipe lover (I assume you are if you’re reading this), then you may be able to relate. My problem is this: I bookmark way too many recipes. Way more than I’ll probably ever be able to make, but I love browsing recipe sites and […]

Yes, that’s right: Waffle Toast. When I saw the name, I really thought it was a type-o. Then I mentioned it to Taste Tester and he said that it was something his mom made for him growing up. To quote the wordsmith Chris Griffin, “Whaaaaaaa?” I felt so out of the loop! I’d lived an […]
