Is there such a thing as too many peppermint desserts this time of year? If you said yes, show yourself to the door. Peace out. For the rest of us, let's get this red and white party started!
I don't go for many Valentine's Day traditions. I have no love for diamonds or gold jewelry, I'm not a big fan of red roses, and I need more boxes of chocolate like I need a hole in the head.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! We've done the green foods thing. We've done the other green foods thing. We don't mess with corned beef, potatoes, or cabbage of any sort around here, so the only thing left to do to get us in the St.
Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day to you! And to you! And to us all! And Happy Valentine's Day to those of you who didn't get my semi-obscure TV show reference, or who hate women's suffrage. Yes, even suffrage haters deserve love today. Anyhow. It's Valentine's Day.
When I have a serious chocolate and peppermint craving, nothing but this cake will do. York Peppermint Patties? Hah! I scoff in the face of those puny little candies. The only peppermint patty I'm interested in is made with flourless chocolate cake, white chocolate-mint ganache, and is 9 inches in diameter.
Helloooo from my new house! It's been a whirlwind of sorting and packing and near-hernias and boxes and even MORE boxes around here lately. We just moved in a few days ago, so I'm still in bare survival, can't-find-anything mode.
I'm trying to be a better friend to berries. All too often I withdraw a moldy berry basket from the fridge shelf. Frowning, I ask myself "didn't I buy these just 2 days ago?"
It's back-to-school time! (Yes, I know some parts of the country started school in, like, late July or something absurd like that, but let's not mince words: that is dumb.)
These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cupcakes are covered in irresistible white chocolate cream cheese frosting! When I was in high school, one of the clubs sold warm cookies in between classes as a fundraiser. These cookies were basically warm, legal crack.
Happy Halloween! You may be wondering why I'm sharing a Halloween cookie with you today, when you have next to no chance of actually making them on Halloween. Well, friends, it's call "procrastination" and "poor time management." Stick around awhile and you'll find plenty of both.
