Don’t forget about Father’s Day on Sunday! Dads, grandfathers, and father figures all deserve to know how much we appreciate them and everything they have taught us. My dad has educated me well on the finer things in life such as fishing, old cars, Pete Townshend, and cheese (he’s from Wisconsin). Thanks, Dad! Since we can have more than [Read more >>]
Let’s chat about crazy good stuff that is also somewhat addicting. Such as this bark. Sometimes I think simple is the way to go! I’ll be honest, I saw a recipe for Cowboy-something the other day and I didn’t even realize that it was actually a thing. Of course…inspired from the Cowboy Bark that is sold [Read more >>]
I can’t believe I’m about to admit this, but recently I’ve come to enjoy a football game or two. I’m not the person that must see every play and can’t move from the couch before a commercial appears – but I’m just saying that since I *somewhat* know the rules, it has become slightly more [Read more >>]
Chocolate Stout Cake Truffles (or Beer Balls if you ask the guys at work). If this doesn’t scream of a man-dessert, not sure what will.
Guinness is used in the cake and the frosting. Then everything is combined together to form one pop-able, slightly bitter, chocolately, creamy cake truffle.
Turtle Cheesecake = creamy, smooth, chocolatey, caramely goodness. Turtle Cheecake in a shot glass = see ‘turtle cheesecake’ + New Year’s party(!?) + a totally fun way to serve cheescake. It also meant, me, stocking up on shot glasses. The store clerk probably thought I was ready for a boozy night of fun. But in reality…she [Read more >>] I know what you’re thinking right now… whenever I step foot in a gym and see weights, I think of cookies and chocolate dipped pretzels. Not entirely true… but this combination of fudge stripe cookies, pretzel rods, and gummy savers just happen to fit together perfectly. I will admit though, since becoming more involved with food and developing [Read more >>] Need vs. Want. Sometimes I have a hard time differentiating between the two. Pinterest doesn’t help. Overall though, I’d like to say I’m fairly practical. I usually stick to what I need – like these nachos. I need. You need these too. In case you need justification: Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner… Speaking [Read more >>] A lot of football games have been on lately. Really “important” games. Of course neither the Broncos nor the (ahem) Vikings are playing anymore. So, naturally, I’ve been rooting for San Francisco. Why?! Because I like California. And this is how I pick who to cheer for. Silly, I know. But now we’re down to Giants and Patriots… what to [Read more >>] I was thinking of memories I have from growing up…simple memories. Memories I love looking back on. Things such as: Dozing off to sleep to the sound of grown-ups talking in the other room. My “talking” A.G. teddy bear. I was the only one who spoke his muffled language. Racing to answer the phone (when friends – not [Read more >>] Whether it’s your dad, grandpa, papa, husband, or a man in your life who is “just like a dad” I really think he deserves one of these treats. Or all. Because you love him. He loves you. So show the love and make him something – and maybe, just maybe he’ll share some of the goodies [Read more >>] Warning, do not feed these to: small children, your dog, or yourself… if you are wishing to sleep soon. ESPRESSO CAKE BITES ohhh – mee – ohhh – myy I almost didn’t share these. They are rich, chocolatey, and not very “summery”. But who cares? Espresso, chocolate, cake, more chocolate, bite size. Need I say more?! Even if [Read more >>] Turtle Cheesecake Shooters
