OK – This Christmas Foodie gift idea is kinda tricky to explain. Have you had Chocolate Covered Katie’s One Minute Chocolate Cake in a Mug? If you haven’t, I’m letting you know upfront – I can’t be held responsible for introducing you to this kind of decadence. It’s a single-serve chocolate cake you “bake”...
It started with my impending birthday, and the desire to make a chocolate cake for myself. Simple, right? But how do you decide which chocolate cake recipe to make when you have amassed a collection of 67 chocolate cake recipes? Uh…not so simple. And so the quest for the best chocolate cake recipe evolved...
Confession: I bought a beautiful bunch of yellow bananas, secretly hoping they’d go brown. You know you have a problem when you pack a banana as a ‘just in case’ snack, while simultaneously knowing full well that it’ll come home uneaten, bruised, and battered. Ah, Perfect! When the brown spots outnumber the yellow you...

Brace yourself: ...
Whew! It’s been a whirlwind week of travel for me—which is why this post is a little late in coming! Last week, I told you about a dinner party I held at which each course of the meal corresponded to a course I took from a local shop! We did a cheese course and...
This is it! The home stretch. We’ve only one more week (and a couple of days) until Christmas. Are you still making your foodie gifts? Mine are nearly done, with the exception of next week’s recipe, which doesn’t keep for a long time, so has to be made at the last minute. These little...
Oh, people. I wish I could tell you that I had a cute and festive name for this treat. Like, “Crunchy Caramel Crackers” or “Holiday Cracker Caramel Crunch.” But I’m the sort of gal that likes to call a duck a duck. So this is called Caramel Cracker Crack. (Actually, the original name was...
Some things I learned while doing this week’s food craft: Candy making is pretty easy. Candy making is also pretty hard. My husband will eat as much melted chocolate as you give him.
