Yep, that’s me chillin with Ina Garten at NYC’s Fancy Food Show. We’re like totally BFF!
Actually, I may or may not have run up to her like a hysterical fan, babbled that I’ve seen every episode of every show she’s ever done and had Taste Tester snap this awkward photo. I also had brief (and […]

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 […]

There’s a reason that I decided to write a blog about two flavors instead of just one: I like desserts with different layers and textures. Layers make each bite exciting and a little different. Madelaine’s new Duets chocolates are truffles with two different flavored fillings sandwiched together, creating a fun mixed flavor sensation. Given my […]

I love candy, but there are a few times of year that I really get in the mood for it. Halloween is an obvious one, Christmas, Valentine’s Day of course, and then there’s Easter. I’m not sure what it is about egg shaped candy that gets me but I love them all: Russell Stover Eggs […]

This egg is a whopping 6 ounces of chocolate-covered peanut butter and measures in around 4 inches long (the photo above is just about actual size). Differing slightly from […]

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 […]

Have fun building up your sweets stash today! Remember to barter for chocolate peanut butter treats!
(Credit for this carving-a-Reeses idea goes to Taste Tester who saw it on a Reeses Halloween commercial. Unfortunately it was so irresistible that our dog snuck into my photo area and ate it shortly after the shoot!)

While spending a good amount of time in the car on our road trip a couple weeks ago, Taste Tester and I decided to count how many states we’d been to. After tallying him at 34 and me at 25, we decided to add another new one to the list: Arkansas. It was only a […]

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. […]
