Chocolate Chip Pancakes for CaseyNo real recipe here, just a picture. I did add some brown sugar and vanilla extract to the (box mix) pancake batter, so they'd taste more like chocolate chip cookies. Problem with dropping the chips on like that is: w (read full article)

One night, recently, while sitting on the couch watching the Hawks play some awful hockey, I suddenly got a craving for toasted marshmallows. And brownies. As I said this aloud to my husband, the concept came together in my mind: I can have BOTH! T (read full article)
This was actually a box mix that I picked up at Aldi's. But they looked so beautiful, I thought it'd be nice to share the photos. Rather than following the box instructions, I added buttermilk in place of the water that it called for. I think I may (read full article)

I made this batch of fudge for my good friend (and neighbor) Stuart. He's a great kid, and his favorite thing is chocolate-raspberry anything. When it is this easy to make someone so happy, you just gotta do it! Chocolate-Raspberry Fudge for StuFirst (read full article)
I made this for my friend Brenda. Just for her. We had a conversation this past summer about food (I know, go figure! LOL!) and she had said how much she liked the Fannie May "little pink crunchy candies." So, you see, I had to do this... :)Peppermin (read full article)
This was actually the result of an accident. Casey had not shut the freezer all the way, and as a result, the next morning I found a package of frozen raspberries to be no longer frozen. Being too delicate to re-freeze (which would result in a solid (read full article)

This is the tart before the glaze...I'm probably not going to serve it tonight, so I won't put the glaze on top until tomorrow. Plus, I didn't like the original glaze recipe, so I had to call Brenda for ganache advice.Chocolate Glazed Chocolate Tartc (read full article)
