Easy Truffles and Mint Bark

A few years back, I decided to make truffles. The recipe was rather simple, and the truffles themselves came out looking and tasting quite nice, so I decided to recreate them again to give as presents this year. First off, here’s the recipe for the truffles: Beat an 8 oz. package of cream cheese until [...]

Delightful Potato Latkes

So I recently found myself with an abundance of potatoes that were making their best effort to grow roots in my cabinet. I’m fairly slow at eating potatoes, but am also unable to resist the allure of a 10lb bag of spuds that costs less then a buck. Thus, it became time to add more [...]

Cake-like brownies with “snow” on them
