Valentine’s Day Sweets
Baking for Valentine’s Day is a must in my book. Having people to bake for is often the problem, but with a building full of co-workers with an appetite it’s not too hard to find mouths to feed. I didn’t want to be too outlandish, since I wasn’t sure how daring the people I work with are […]
White Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
I recently discovered a new healthy recipe blog whose main focus is on vegan desserts, Chocolate Covered Katie. She has some really innovative ideas and I have been wanting to make some of her desserts for a while now. I finally got around to baking her breakfast cookies, and was very happy with the result. The […]
“Super Skinny” Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
I told you I’d have chocolate on the blog soon. Beware: this chocolate peanut butter fudge is very rich and very fudgy. The following recipe is not for the faint-hearted!

On the 5th Day of Hanukkah…
Just because I live in Florida and the temperature hasn’t dipped below 70 yet doesn’t mean I don’t associate the holidays with a little frostbite and snowfall.

On the 2nd Day of Hanukkah…
Day number two brings you another sweet holiday treat: peppermint bark. Around this time of year, every store you walk into carries various kinds of peppermint bark. It’s easy to go and buy these delicious chocolate candies, but it’s so much more fun to make on your own! It’s very simple, too. All you need […]

One Last Use for Pumpkin…
It’s about time I got back into the kitchen and started whipping up some delicious desserts again. I had leftover pumpkin purée so I wanted to make a good old-fashioned pumpkin bread, but halfway through, I realized I didn’t have enough puree! What to do, what to do… Time to improvise! I grabbed two ripe […]
A Lighter Taste on a Pumpkin Dessert

But most of these desserts are so calorie-dense and packed with fat that it makes enjoying them a little bit harder to handle over and over again. […]
