• Double Dark Chocolate Muffins

      When I think of Valentine’s Day I think of chocolate. Let’s be honest here, I think about chocolate every day, not just on Valentine’s Day. Anyways, these muffins would make a great addition to your Valentine’s Day breakfast or brunch any weekend.     I use dark cocoa powder in these muffins, but you could definitely use regular cocoa powder. I talk about my love of dark cocoa powder over in this post. Because of the dark chocolate color, it gives them, you’ll never know that there is whole wheat flour hiding out in there. That makes them healthy, right? These muffins are best when they are warm and the chocolate chips are melted.    …

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

    As I’m typing this post I’m realizing this is the third chocolate chip recipe I’ve posted. I think it’s safe to say that we have a slight chocolate chip obsession at our house! When I made this over the weekend the hubby said that he had forgotten how much he liked it!   For the longest time, I wasn’t a fan of cookie cakes, I thought most of them were hard and bland. But after trying several recipes without success, I found this one and didn’t look back. This cookie cake is soft and chewy because of the brown sugar, cornstarch, and extra egg yolk.     One of the best things about this…

  • Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars {and 2 anniversaries!}

    Happy one month to the blog! If you haven’t been here since the beginning, go and check out my first recipe for Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies  and stay tuned because February is looking like a sweet month! Now for one of my favorite anniversaries. Five years ago today, I was talking to my boyfriend as I drove home from work on a Friday night. When I opened the door to my apartment, there he was!  He’d flown from Pennsylvania to South Carolina to surprise me and was all dressed up and standing in the middle of my living room. He asked me to marry him…and I said yes! The last five years have been…

  • Pepperoni Pizza Muffins

      One of the things I learned when I married my husband was that pizza is considered a food group all it’s own and can be eaten multiple times in a week or even in the same day! While we love traditional pizza around here, sometimes it’s nice to change it up a little.     Today I have another great recipe for your Super Bowl party. These Pepperoni Pizza Muffins are pretty much perfect, no fussy ingredients needed and they can be made ahead of time and frozen until party time. Here’s to not being stuck in the kitchen doing last minute prep while the party is going on!     I found…
