Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
These crunchy chocolate mint cookies are a riff on Thin Mints, and I suppose if you dipped them in chocolate instead of drizzling, they would be exactly alike. I’ve always been a big fan of Thin Mints, and I will definitely be making these again. They’re a great addition to your holiday cookies, but they’ll … Continue reading
S’mores Brownies
These are quite the decadent treat, combining chewy brownies with gooey s’mores. It’s definitely a little bit of a sugar overload, but fresh from the oven they are amazing and rich. The brownie batter is one of the easiest to make, and would be great by itself– just bake a little less to keep them … Continue reading
Eggplant Caponata
Caponata is an Italian eggplant dip that I love for parties. It’s more healthy than most of my party appetizers and it’s vegetarian, so everyone likes it. This version has some Sicilian flavors (where the cuisine is highly influenced by its proximity to Africa), including some cinnamon, pine nuts, and currants. Red pepper flakes give … Continue reading
Seared Pork Tenderloin with Grapes

Invest in a … Continue reading

This is more of a traditional tiramisu, but I’m still working on their secret….I think some chocolate chips is part of it, but I’m not sure … Continue reading
Chocolate Layer Cake
When I first made this cake a year ago, I decided there was no reason to ever make a different chocolate cake– it’s THAT good. The recipe is Ina Garten’s Beatty’s Chocolate Cake and I generally make it in one pan and slice it in half because I don’t have two of the same pan. … Continue reading
Fudgey Cocoa Brownies
I’ve been looking for the perfect brownie recipe, one that is nice and fudgey and dense. I think this may be it. I found it on Smitten Kitchen, where Deb adapted the recipe from Alice Medrich’s Bittersweet. I used a combo of brown and white sugar because the brown gives it a deeper flavor. Either way, … Continue reading
