Chocolate covered cherries are a particular favorite around these parts.

Too, I’m a shortbread fanatic because the measurements are easy to memorize. 1 part sugar, 2 parts butter, 3 parts flour! Put it all […]
My BFF went to Hawaii over the holidays and came back raving about something called Hula Pie. Obviously, I had to figure out how to re-create this Hawaiian delight.

Hmmmm…I wonder if cocoa expires. Awwwww, crap. March 15, 2013. I should probably do a pantry clean-out… [scratches head] Pish-posh, I can make my […]
