Chocolate Sour Cream Cake

Somehow, my baby boy turned 3 last weekend.  I gave birth to him, and then I blinked, and here we are. Charlie’s favorite thing in the entire world is chocolate.  He would choose chocolate over anything, including puppies, Disneyland, and Paw Patrol.  It is his very favorite thing.  When I asked him what kind of… Continue reading Chocolate Sour Cream Cake

Marbled Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

I’m baaaaaack, ladies and gentleman!  Off of bedrest and with a beautiful 3 week old baby girl in my arms, and feeling almost 100%.  Baby Phoebe made her entrance the day after my Hawks lost in the most devastating Superbowl ever, on Groundhog Day, making everything better.  We are all in love with her. Here… Continue reading Marbled Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Chocolate Cream Cheese Marbled Bundt Cake

Did you know that Saturday is National Bundt Cake Day? Neither did I, until a few days ago.  I always wonder who makes up these silly “holidays.”  “National Donut Day” and “National Apple Pie Day,”  “National Fried Cheese Day.”  Is that a thing?

I have been in the throes of severe morning (all day) sickness, and I am just now reaching the light at the end of the tunnel.   We’re talking all day nausea, barfing, hospital and… Continue reading Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread and Baby #3

Life Changing Brownies

Life Changing Brownies sounds a little dramatic.  I guess that’s the effect I’m going for though.  The original title of this recipe was “Frosted Fudge Brownies.”  After making them for myself, I feel this title is grossly unrepresentative of how amazing they actually are.  “Life Changing Brownies is much more accurate. For the last, like,… Continue reading Life Changing Brownies

It’s a Wonderful Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie

I recently made a discovery about myself. I like coconut. It’s one of those things that I tried as a kid, didn’t like, and then just kind of avoided until I turned 32.  Not all coconut, of course.  I have always enjoyed a good pina colada.  I’m talking about the flaked stuff that you put… Continue reading It’s a Wonderful Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie
