I’m a big fan of Tory Burch and her handbags. I find that they are pricey but every now and then I like to splurge. I saw (on her blog) that Tory’s Thanksgiving menu involved a gingerbread brownie for dessert. Chocolate and gingerbread combined into one goodie? I’d never heard of such a thing. It got me thinking…why not? Fast forward through all my research to these chocolate gingerbread bars and now I’m in love with the combo. In fact, I’m a bit obsessed with it and I wonder how I ever managed without it. These bars are a moist gingerbread chocolate cake loaded …

I …
Almond Biscotti
I like biscotti, but I won’t go out of my way to eat one. I’m also not a fan of almond flavoring. (Great selling points, Tina. I’m going somewhere with this, trust me). Why did I make these almond biscotti? I made them for my dad, who is a huge fan of almond biscotti and I knew he’d love them with his morning coffee. You know what the nice surprise was though? The rest of my family and I fell in love with them too. In fact, my youngest sister wanted to bake them for her boyfriend. She came over …
Oreo Truffles
I’m sure most of you have heard of Oreo truffles. If not, they are truffles made out of…wait for it, Oreo cookies. I first made them about eight years ago and they were a huge hit. I’ve been racking my brain, trying to think of how to put a creative spin on this classic recipe. I must have given my husband 15 options and then he finally asked my why I would change something that’s already delicious. Hmmm. Occupational hazard of a food blogger, I suppose. I’m always trying to be creative and share recipes that stand apart from others. …
