Saturday was my sister’s birthday. I asked her what she wanted me to bake for her: cupcakes or Warm Chocolate Lava Cake. She “oooooo’d” at the mention of lava cake so I had my answer. This is the recipe from the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival (which we are going back to this year-woo…

SMS: Chocolate Orange Macaroons
Thanks to Ellen of Blue True Green Heart for hosting this week’s Sweet Melissa Sunday. This was a rather simple cookie recipe. The hardest thing was chopping up the chocolate with zesting an orange running a close second. Most of the mixing was done by hand! I had a couple to eat since I’m not…
Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Cookies
Whew! That’s a long title, but it describes these cookies to a “T”. I had some miniature peanut butter cups in the freezer and decided to finally use them. I didn’t have the full 12 ounce bag so I supplemented with chocolate chips and that’s where the peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookies come in….
Rum Balls
Rum balls are a holiday favorite so I decided to make some for our holiday party. I sought out a recipe and decided I couldn’t go wrong with a Emeril Lagasse one. Let me warn you, these rum balls have a kick! I read in the reviews that they were strong and people diluted it…
Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
I’ve been a little lax with my blogging. I was preparing for our Christmas party that went great last week and I will be sharing the many recipes that I decided to cook up for the event. First, I have one more cookie recipe I want to share. I have made a few chocolate chip…
White Chocolate Chip Craisin Hazelnut Cookies
That title is a mouth full! I bought a large bag of Craisins from Costco (have I told you how much I love Costco?) and went searching for recipes to incorporate them in. This one was right up my alley because I love white chocolate. The original recipe called for pecans, but I substituted hazelnuts…

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies?
I don’t know if they were the best, but let me back up…I wanted to bake some cookies for a couple of co-workers who are very helpful. I saw this recipe over at Good Things Catered and wanted to try it. I thought the ones I made earlier in the summer were very good, but…
Daring Bakers: Milan Cookies
Yes, I am a member of another baking group, Daring Bakers! The July Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Nicole at Sweet Tooth. She chose Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Cookies and Milan Cookies from pastry chef Gale Grand of the Food Network. We had the chance to choose either one or to make both. I decided…
The Chewy with Pecans
This is a popular chocolate chip recipe that originally came from Alton Brown. I used a slightly different recipe from Allrecipes and added pecans and used bittersweet chocolate baking chips since I had some leftover from here. This cookie is so good! The Chewy with Pecans Adapted from Allrecipes Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2…
