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 […]

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.
Upon flipping through the latest issue of Everyday Food (which features relatively good-for-you recipes) I was surprised to see a fried […]

I noticed an ad for this tasty looking chocolate peanut butter bundt cake on Rachael Ray’s site. 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 […]

Were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a regular staple for you as a kid? Then you’re going to love these.
This recipe has been in my bookmarks for a while, but it wasn’t until I tasted the PB&J truffle from Ethel’s last week that I was reminded how great the peanut-butter-jelly-chocolate combo is. I think […]

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.
- […]

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 […]

I may write about the same two ingredients all the time but you’ll rarely find me experimenting with chocolate and/or peanut butter on a savory level. Well, I went outside my comfort zone of cookies and brownies a little this week and gave savory a whirl.
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 […]
