Chocolate Cake Balls are the Balls of the Gods

Well, not literally, as in we’re not talking about male gods specifically here. More like, if gods ate food, and if they liked eating their food in ball form, this is the sort of food they’d be eating. For dessert. Unless they were really unhealthy gods, then they might just eat them all the time. [...]

Delicious Baked Apples

Baked apples are so freaking good. This is not a particularly new revelation. Rather, it is a revelation that is good to re-experience when one has a surplus of apples and a desire to turn some of them into sugar. How convenient and exciting for me, that I had apples of multiple varieties!

I decided [...]

Mary’s Mountain Cookies in Breckenridge, Co

For the last several days, about 1/2 of all of the food that I’ve eaten could easily be placed in the category of “dessert.” This is a combination of everyone who buys me presents knowing that I like chocolate and many people that I visit disliking having bunches of junk food around after a gathering, [...]

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 smooth. Beat [...]

Festive Sugar Cookies

So, I recently decided that it was sugar-cookie making time. I am a big fan of sugar cookies, and Christmas generally provides a good excuse for making them. It’s the same recipe that I’ve used for approximately forever and a half for making sugar cookies, and I shall include it here:
1/2 cup butter/margarine
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 [...]

Cake-like brownies with “snow” on them

Outside, it is currently snowing and 17 degrees. This puts one in mind to think about things covered in white stuff as well as things to add on very important layers of fat. Snow-flecked brownies meet this description. So, I decided to make these dump bar brownies and hope for the best.

I did the snow-flecked [...]

Burbley Chocolate Pecan Pie

So I found myself just sitting around one day, trying to think a really efficient way to get as many calories into my stomach as possible. The answer was obvious: chocolate pecan pie. I am a sucker for chocolate pie of any variety, and it is nothing but a bonus to have pecans added to [...]

How Not To Make Chocolate Zucchini Bread

So I had these zucchinis, see. And when one is in possession of zucchinis, there is often little else one can think about other then making a bread out of them. This is because zucchini bread is delicious. However, do you know what is even more delicious then zucchini bread? Chocolate zucchini bread.
So I plowed [...]

Green Smoothies With Boba Are Good For The Soul

As I’ve recently returned from a rather long drive across some rather long states, it’s been a rather long time since my last post. So, to compensate for that break in posting, I will give you a rather tacky image.

Green is a glorious color for a smoothie to be. This particular smoothie is comprised primarily [...]

The Dangers of Impulse Donuts

So it’s been a week since I’ve last posted. Sometimes I black out a bit on these things. I’ve been stuck on a bit of a sugar bender these last several day. And, as usual I suppose, I’ll blame the donuts.

It all happened when we wandered into Safeway one fateful evening. Or perhaps I [...]
