My new obsession
I was one of those kids who would decide something didn’t look good, and then convince myself it tasted terrible. At least I know I’m not the only one, but now I kick myself for cheating myself out of years of delicious foods. Like Tapioca pudding. It looks lumpy. And maybe a little slimy. It…

Banana with Honeyed Mascarpone & Caramel
Bananas are not my go-to dessert. I do not like banana splits. Just give me the ice cream! I’ve had Bananas Foster once, but I prefer apple crisp. But my friends served this dessert a couple of weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it! It’s like a song that got…

The Dangerous Bars
“Why dangerous?” you may ask. “They can’t be that bad for you, right?” They’re not! “So then what’s with the overly dramatic title?” I have these ingredients on hand 99% of the time. ALL the ingredients. And these bars are so fast to throw together that you can basically have them done before you give…

Chocolate Cups
This recipe has chocolate in it. It also has eggs. You don’t bake it in the oven. But it won’t kill you. Or even make you sick. Because it also has coffee in it. HOT coffee! The hot coffee cooks the eggs for you. No worries. Look at me, being all fancy and stuff. Like…
