We’re having a Cinco de Mayo party at work tomorrow. My friend Martha sent me this recipe last week. Words can not describe these chocolaty treasures, so here are the photos. Yummy scraps to snack on for the next couple of days.

when life gives you lemons
I still had lemons, damn it, and I was determied to make something with them.
baked
Continuing with the theme that this is definitely not a food blog, I made some treats this evening to take to work tomorrow. I baked Orange Almond Blueberry Muffins from a cookbook I mentioned earlier in the year. I had to taste one before taking them tomorrow. Quality control…you know. Greg and I split it,…
dinner tonight
Since I’m off today, I thought I would take the time to make a delicious soup. I found a recipe for roasted-potato fennel soup in the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. This was Ina’s first cookbook and it has many of the recipes that made her gourmet grocery store, the Barefoot Contessa, a hit in the Hamptons….

I baked my favorite Butterscotch-Cashew Blondies and a new recipe from Martha's Cookies Book, Apple-Cherry Crumble Bars. The scent that is wafting from the oven right now is incredible. It's like all…
my one day off

today's cookie : crispy double chocolate-marshmallow treats
I made some cookies today. Martha had a recipe for crispy chocolate-marshmallow treats in her current issue of Everyday Food magazine. Her recipe called for drizzling bittersweet chocolate over the treats. I decided that the chocaholics in my life would prefer that I just dunk them full-on into the molten goodness. And what's a cookie…
