Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie. In addition to these Pumpkin Nut Belgian Waffles, my hubby requested this pie for his recent birthday.

Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pie

Since he was a self-proclaimed ‘cookie monster’, I didn’t even offer to bake him a birthday cake. Instead, I asked him if he’d like a cookie tart instead. Surprisingly, he requested this Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter pie. The title definitely says it all: Oreos, chocolate, peanut butter, frozen, and pie. How can anything go wrong with that?

They climbed blindly, Sarah’s heart going a mile a minute as her boots easily found the next foothold and the next. They climbed, moving inward as they did and the professor whimpered over the rocks that jabbed at their palms and wrists, Sarah nudging him on from behind.

Not that it makes it healthy by any means, but at least there’s no artificial gunk in my ice cream. And when I got David Lebovitz’s Perfect Scoop as a gift (you rock Amelia!) My fascination with making ice cream has slowly progressed to an obsession. This is one of the first recipes I spotted when looking through the book for the first time.

Sweet tarte: chocolate covered graham cookies. I've never seen the show Hoarders, but if A&E ever shows up at my door, I'll know exactly what they're here for. It's not the shoes, or the bangle bracelets, or even the drawer full of patterned dish towels that keeps getting stuck shut because I've stuffed it too full. It's the cookbooks. Cookbooks from restaurants, cookbooks from trips, cookbooks I've received as gifts.

New cookbooks with glossy photos and impressive sounding recipes that I daydream about but will probably never actually make.
