Loving Birthday Cake
Good morning, friends! Today I have to wish a big happy birthday to my little sister. She moved away for the first time earlier this year so it’s her first birthday away from home.
Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries - StumbleUpon
Call me easily amused, but these little torch-topped cupcakes delight me. Besides being a cute novelty item for a party, I think they would add a little drama to the end of a romantic meal. I've been looking for something different to serve for Valentine's dessert, and this is definitely different. The strawberries are hollowed out and filled with a bit of liquor, then ignited with a match.
Gooey chocolate s'mores pie.
This pie – like its cookie counterpart – makes you want s’more. Dry conditions and a fire ban has put an end to our campfires – and with it our nightly s’mores. This is probably a good thing – s’mores should not become a bedtime ritual for me – nonetheless the kids were disappointed, so I recalled a s’mores pie I had seen and decided to make one. It was easy – a simple ganache (hot cream into which chopped chocolate is melted), whisked with an egg and baked in a graham crust. Since we still had bags of marshmallows in the cupboard, including mini ones that it turns out don’t roast over a fire so well, I used them as a topping rather than whip up a batch of marshmallowy fluff from scratch.
Candy Corn Sugar Cookies
Just so you know I, like Kate, had very good intentions of posting actual food today. But there’s only so much time before Halloween and then we can’t post fun things like this for a whole year, so you see we must! And actually, you can do candy corn themed stuff all the way through Thanksgiving, so live it up!
Brownie Pops to Cheesecake Pops: Things on a Stick taste Better
Posted on September 14, 2010 by Christina Why do some things taste better when they’re on a stick? Maybe it’s the novelty that makes them fun – or the fact that you don’t have to get your fingers all sticky and buttery.
How To Make Perfect Brownies
I’ve tried lots of brownie recipes: Boxes, scratch, frosted, plain, nuts, chips, fudge … Each of them has something to like, but depending on my mood I might want a change of pace. Not any more. My wife found this recipe, and it’s perfect.
Cinnamon Toast&Rolls - Circle B Kitchen - Circle B Kitchen - StumbleUpon
The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate. I think by now most of us know what should be on our dinner plate in terms of healthy, well-rounded nutrient-laden meals, but it is my considered opinion that our breakfast plate should include cinnamon rolls now and then. And not just any cinnamon roll, mind you, but how ‘bout a homemade cinnamon roll hybrid that is a cross between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast, is super easy to make and gosh darn delicious.
Bunnylicious Peeps S'mores
It’s only natural that you’d take marshmallows of any kind and try to toast them. Marshmallow = toasted, right? They are synonymous. I’ve thought so my whole life.
Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies - StumbleUpon
These are divine. Truly. They taste just like your favorite breakfast treat but in fabulous cookie form.
Catwomans Anti-Inflammation Diet - YouBeauty
If you were faced with the prospect of donning an unforgiving, figure-hugging Catwoman suit on the big screen, you might think about tightening up your eating habits. That’s exactly what actress Anne Hathaway did, who rocks a slim and toned physique in the new Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises,” which premiers this Friday. To get in meow-worthy shape, Hathaway teamed up with nutrition coach Jackie Keller and her team at Nutrifit. Together, they developed a plan to help the already-slim star look leaner and more toned.

The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies - StumbleUpon
Now, I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I swear by. I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven’t changed my mind about that. However, as much as it pains me to say it, these chocolate chip cookies by Jacques Torres are absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever made or tasted in my entire life.
S'more Smoothie
My son came to me the other day with marshmallows in one hand and a box of graham crackers in the other. He said “Mommy lets make s’more smoothies.” I thought I had heard him wrong, so I asked again, and in the clearest voice he said “S’more Smoothies!” He was so enthusiastic and happy about the idea. It surprised me, I had never heard anything like it, so I went to googling and got an idea of how we should make them.
