Milk-And-Cookies Cupcakes
This cupcake recipe is a play on milk and cookies. The milk flavor of the cupcake comes from sweetened condensed milk and whole milk. There are mini chocolate chips inside the cupcake for added texture. The frosting which was delicious was made with melted milk chocolate. I thought this cupcake captured the essence of milk…
Sundae Cupcakes
When I served these cupcakes my guests immediately recognized them as Sundaes. The cupcake base is a chocolate cake with chopped bananas. The recipe calls for chopped peanuts but my son is allergic so I left them out. The frosting portion includes crushed sugar ice cream cones which adds a nice crunch to the dish….
My Newest Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tuesdays with Dorie These were a big hit in my house, deemed the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie. What makes these cookies different is a combination of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, nutmeg and coriander as the spices.

Salted Chocolate Caramel Bars
Tuesdays with Dorie These bars are a layer of chocolate shortbread, chocolate caramel and pecans as the topping. I served these with ice cream the first night and I think it was too much. I was craving brownies and ice cream but shortbread is not brownies. These were more candy-like, so small portion is the…
Chocolate-Strawberry Cupcakes
Today is National Cupcake Day, in Canada that is. Mardi Michels from eat.live.travel.write informed me about National Cupcake Day to benefit the ASPCA.

Valentine’s Day Share-A-Heart
Dorie suggests making two large hearts from this recipe but since I was not having a party and feared my son would eat the whole thing, I made several smaller hearts. I used a three to three and a half inch cookie cutter and got a total of 20 hearts. I really liked the instructions…
Sunday in Paris Chocolate Cake
Dorie suggests a variety of vessels you can use to make these cakes. I chose to make mine in mini-muffin tins. I got a total of 17 mini-muffins and I baked them approximately 12 minutes. The ganache was plenty for 17 but not the toppings. I ran out of peanuts and chopped chocolate after about…
