Chocolate Mousse

Hello gorgeous dessert. I have made this chocolate mousse so many times over the past few years and it came out delicious every time.  I shared this recipe with you a couple of years ago.  At that time I fancied them up with a graham cracker cookie crust and homemade eggnog whipped cream. The other night I was supposed to have three girlfriends over for dinner but two of them cancelled last minute because it snowed.  One of them was supposed to bring the dessert.  I had about two hours to figure out what to serve to the one who braved …

Berry Crisp for One

Have you ever eaten at a restaurant by yourself? If you say yes, then I might cry.  No really, I have issues seeing people eating alone.  I feel so bad that I’ve considered inviting myself over to join the person.  The other part of my problem is that I have a total double standard.  I don’t have a problem with the idea of me eating alone, and I do it in the food court at the mall sometimes.  Is that really considered eating alone though?  My husband piped up at this point to inform me that I wasn’t actually eating …

Sticky Buns

The cinnamon roll vs sticky bun debate rages on… If you missed the Cinnamon Roll post and prefer your rolls of cinnamon to be simply glazed instead of sticky and gooey, then head on back to that post here.  I assure you that you will not be disappointed.  If you did catch it then you must have been anxiously awaiting these. Without further ado, I leave in you in goods with my husband… As a kid wandering the mall with my dad and brother we would often follow our noses to the T.J. Cinnamons that was somewhere off to the side …

Cinnamon Rolls

Guys, I couldn’t be more excited to share today’s recipe with you… seriously excited, like you just told a kid they’re going to Disney World kind of excited.  I’ll refrain from the screams and eeks, but I’m telling you right now that this is absolutely my favorite recipe this year so far. My husband is the brains behind this creation so I’ll happily turn it over to him.  Excuse me while I grab my fat pants. If preparing to make this recipe has taught me anything, it’s that cinnamon roll recipes are as widely varied as they are a pain in the butt …

Affogato

Guys, I seriously need your undivided attention because I’ve got something here that you are going to go bonkers over. I’ve found the next best thing to a frappuccino, maybe even better.  I’m obsessed with it.  Seriously… obsessed. Have you ever heard of an affogato?  It’s an Italian coffee based beverage where you take a scoop of ice cream or gelato and you top it with a hot shot of espresso.  What the what?!  I’d never heard of it until just the other day and knew that I had to make it immediately. Is it a dessert?  Is it a drink?  …
