It’s funny how sometimes I see a recipe and I mark it as a *must try*. Then there is other times that I see a recipe, and I get up and make it immediately. That was the case when I saw these Chocolate Dipped Clementines over at Jessica’s blog. I knew I had to make them right then and there! In fact, I made these bad boys twice in two days.

The apéro is one of the most fully embraced French institutions in our house. Paris doesn’t have the preponderance of Happy Hours that you find in most American cities (“ Le Happy Hours ” usually go from about 5-8pm which is nice, but beers are still 5 euros – not exactly a deal), so Nick and I almost always have an apéro when he gets home from work. Often the nibbles consist of peanuts or pretzels or something equally simple. But if we’re having company, or I’m feeling energetic, we’ll do something a little more involved. The ever-popular bacon-onion dip makes frequent appearances, but the subject of cheesy poofs has been coming up more and more. Gougères are a French classic: airy puffs of savory pâte à choux flavored with cheese (traditionally Gruyère ).

There is absolutely no question about where my heart lies when it comes to candy. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Reese’s Pieces are it for me. (I know, huge shocker.) Reese’s cups were my favorite Halloween candy as a kid and they were what my Chief Culinary Consultant bought me to celebrate liberation from a quarter-life-peanut-allergy-crisis a couple of years ago. So it’s only natural that I immediately cozy up to recipes like buckeyes and peanut butter cup bars . One of the most wonderful things about blogging is receiving emails from my readers.

Every Fall we make caramel popcorn, it is a tradition in our house. Over the weekend we were hanging out at home with the baby and watching football. I thought it was the perfect day to bust out a batch of caramel corn, so I asked Josh if he could watch the baby while I went to work.

Soooooo… you know that episode of Sex and the City where Miranda has to dump dish soap on top of chocolate cake just so she will stop eating it?? Uh. Yeeeeeah.Is anyone else still holding on to apple season for dear life? I mean really, apples tend to be more of a fall thing but I just can’t get enough of them right now. And when I say that I think it’s fair to disclose that I can’t get enough cinnamon and sugar either. The thing that I’ve also become recently super obsessed with is eggroll wrappers . Those suckers work great for everything and automatically make it suuuuuuuuuuuper fancy.
