Pumpkin Scones with Dried Plum

Despite my best efforts, fruit continues to not be one of Josh’s favorite things. Or one of my favorite things, for that matter. The only sure fire way to make sure that fruit gets devoured is to have dried fruit on hand (or mixed into our baked goods ;-)).  Something magical happens to fruit when you […]

Chocolate Cake with Cookie Butter Frosting and Whiskey Caramel Sauce

Every year for my birthday, Josh makes me a boxed cake mix.  Cherry chip cake (with his “secret” applesauce substitution for an extra moist cake) with chocolate frosting.   This is my once-a-year from-a-box cake treat, and honestly there’s something I love about boxed cherry chip cake.  It’s soft and fluffy and reminds me of high school.  […]

Is anyone else freaking beyond […]

Chocolate and Hazelnut Banana Breakfast Cake

I don’t know about you, but after Easter I have a pile of chocolate bunnies just waiting to be eaten.  Everyone is going to think I’m insane, but I don’t like to just nom on a brick (or bunny) of plain chocolate (unless it’s really good chocolate).  Every year, chop those bunnies up and turn them […]
