I’m still catching up on posting my creations, so when I came across this recipe that I made for the Olympics I realized how far behind I am! My friend had an Olympic themed party so she wanted Russian themed desserts. What better than a classic Pavlova with an American twist, well actually Italian twist…
I have time again to blog! Our kitchen is finished, well almost finished. We still need to finish grooming the backsplash, but other than that it’s just decoration. Time to catch up on some old recipes. If you are looking for a great chocolate chip recipe with a twist, this is the recipe for you!…

For the fifth food gift from my 7 Food Gifts post, I made peanut butter fudge. This peanut butter fudge is mixed with whole and halved peanuts for a nice crunch! It’s the EASIEST recipe every, it doesn’t require baking, just a microwave. If you need a quick food gift, this is it. It’s delicious,…
For another food gift item from my 7 Food Gifts post, I made salted chocolate-topped caramels. I love salted caramels, and they are made even better with a coating of semi-sweet chocolate. Now, I have stayed away from caramels because everytime i make them they are either too soft or too hard and I can’t…

I got this recipe from JoyofBaking.com. Peppermint Meringue Cookies From JoyofBaking.com Yield: Makes about 10 – 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) meringues…
For the number 2 food gift, I chose to make chocolate malt truffles. I had some Ovaltine leftover from another recipe and wanted to use it. Who doesn’t like good chocolate mixed with cream and rolled in more sugar? Yum. I got the recipe from SavorySimple.net. I added some kosher salt to the ingredients because…
Let’s start with the first food gift from my post on 7 food gifts…gingerbread granola. This means it’s granola with gingerbread flavoring…not gingerbread broken into granola pieces, or some other interpretation you may have. This recipe is yummy if you like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and all those great gingerbread flavors, with little pieces of crystallized ginger…
It’s been awhile! We’ve finally moved in our new house, unpacked as many boxes as we could, and started painting, decorating, and fixing all the little things, all while watching our new kitchen and dining room being built. I can’t wait to have my new kitchen. Until then, I’ve got some sweet little desserts to…
The last dessert I made for my sister’s housewarming party were these little peanut butter rich cookies. They were the easiest dessert to make (except that I individually put each M&M on top) and they got rave reviews from people. Sometimes the simple classically delicious combos make the best party desserts. Plus I made them…
