When you become pregnant, you learn all sorts of vernacular you might never have been privy to otherwise. For example, did you know that when parents choose not to find out the baby’s gender via sonogram, they’ve officially joined Team Green? Yeah, me neither. But, you learn something new every day. The Brit and I …
Chocolate
Somewhere along the way, chocolate dipped strawberries became synonymous with Valentine’s Day. I’m not sure when it happened, but they 100% equal romance. Just ask us – our groom’s cake at our wedding featured a sheet cake decorated to look like a tuxedo, surrounded by two dozen smartly dressed matching tuxedo’ed strawberries around the edge. …
We’re getting down to the wire now, folks. Less than 7 days before Christmas! I’ve been thinking we need a solidly delicious muffin recipe for Christmas morning. How about some Fair Trade Chocolate and Cranberry muffins? I decided to pop in with this great recipe for Christmas morning that uses lots of delicious Fair Trade …
This time of year, I’m a sucker for the seasonal candy. I posted last week about Crinkle Cookies topped with festive candy cane chocolates. I definitely love the holidays and the candy they bring. But my one true candy love come Christmas time is peppermint bark. In any form I can get it! Every year, …
The idea that it’s December 2nd astounds me. It probably shouldn’t. We’re a family that puts our tree up the day after Thanksgiving (more for the convenience of a 4 day weekend and having extra hands around, but still), and the Christmas decorations have been decking these halls for a solid week. But when I …
I posted these scrumptious Neapolitan Oreo Brownies just after Sandy hit, when I was clearly eating my feelings at having no power. But now I have a happier reason to re-post them. OREO and Kitchen Play have come together to encourage folks to PLAY UP dessert. Kitchen PLAY is giving away two OREO Thanksgiving prize …
Y’all, I’m stress eating like whoa. It’s been a rough few days without water or power, but we have it better than most. A tree fell, but missed EVERYTHING. We thought we were prepared with a generator and gas. But now we’re on day 4, and everywhere is out of gas, including our generator. At …
You hear a lot of discussion in the news, on food blogs, and in grocery stores about organic food. Organic food is something my husband and I try to buy as much as we can, mostly because we think it tastes better, and because we prefer our food pesticide free. Another label that I think …
Sometimes, you just need something simple. And chocolate. And more chocolate. Mint Oreo Truffles aren’t mind-blowingly complicated, or even all that original. A quick google search will show you all sorts of different versions of this treat. The thing is.. I needed an excuse to buy Mint Oreos. I do my best not to bring …
I’m going to preface this post by saying that when I’m stressed, I don’t always make the best food choices. My first experience with a Zagnut candy bar (outside of the movie Beetlejuice) came a few months ago when James and I embarked on a DIY project of sorts. You see, we overhauled our kitchen …
