Deconstructed Chocolate Mousse Pie With Eggnog Whipped Cream

December 19th, 2014Tina12 Comments

This dessert is why I ate my broccoli the other day. 😉 You guys, this mousse concoction is freaking amazing and I’m seriously bonkers over it. It all started when I thought I’d make a simple chocolate mousse for dessert. I’ve made this chocolate mousse by itself many times and it’s outstanding. It’s super rich, decadent and thick. However, I was going to be serving this dessert to family and I wanted some wow factor and a little holiday flair so the mousse alone didn’t do it for me. Then I thought I’d turn it into a chocolate mousse pie, but for some reason that wasn’t …

Oven Roasted Broccoli

What the what? Is this a recipe for green healthy stuff right in the middle of the holiday cookie baking season? Yes, but it’s only a minor detour. The other day my husband told me that we don’t eat enough veggies. We’ve been kinda surrounded by cookies, bagels and pizza. Remember a while back when I mentioned that I was in a “food mood” where I only wanted to eat pizza and bagels? Well, I have gotten a little bit better at eating healthier, but not 100% based on my husband’s comment. I was determined to answer my hubby’s request so when I went to the …

Toffee Crackle Cookies

Yup, here’s another cookie recipe. What will I do with all my time in the kitchen once the baking season is over? Oh right, January 1st is right around the corner… green smoothies. Honestly, I could use the detox right now but I’m having way too much fun with my cookie fest. These cookies happen to be my favorite cookie that I’ve baked this holiday season. And they’re not chocolate?! Well, they have little bits of chocolate in them, so maybe it counts. 😉 These cookies are like a mix of a shortbread and sugar cookie. Mmm, buttery and sugar goodness. You can even …

Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies

December 12th, 2014Tina12 Comments

Cookies, cookies, cookies. It’s all cookies all the time. Are you sick of seeing them yet? Of course you aren’t. What a silly question. I could NEVER get sick of seeing or eating them! That’s a good thing because I’ve been baking them since before Thanksgiving… and I’m still baking. It looks like a cookie explosion in the freezer. Is there room for real food? You know, like meat and veggies. Nope. At least my priorities are straight. 😉 Cookies are awesome. Chocolate and peanut butter ones are probably even more awesome. Because I said so. These cookies may look complicated, but they …

Holiday Pinwheels

Does anyone go a little crazy when they host a dinner party? And when I say “crazy” I don’t mean losing your marbles. I mean you’re running around the house doing 17 things at one time in fast forward motion. This time of the year, my husband and I host many dinner parties. I’ve been doing it for years, even before I met him. You’d think that over the years I’d relax a little more about these things. After all it’s always family and friends. Nope. I never think I have enough time to fit in everything I want to …
