These are chocolate-covered strawberries to the max! Perfect for your next event, birthday, or weddings! Or heck, make them for a romantic evening with your boo-boo. Super easy to make, and quick to boot. These little guys should be made not more than a day in advance, as the berries can start getting a little sad [...]

Lemonheads were one my my secret pleasures as a kid. The super-sour outer candy covering melted away to reveal a harder, sweeter candy inside. I could only eat about two at once but what a puckering my lips got! The same puckering feeling lingered in my mouth after trying this Super Lemon Ice Cream. Dotted [...]

If you’re Korean, or know anyone of such origin, you’re likely to have come across Peperos- a thin biscuit covered in melted chocolate, with a version that is covered in almonds.

That was my bookworm stage. As in, six hour, non-stop, novel devouring stage. There was a recipe for thumbprint cookies on the [...]

I’m guessing that I’m not the only one with left-over pumpkin from Thanksgiving. At least I hope so. This pumpkin bread is Ah-mazing. As in, please go buy a can of pumpkin right now. Yes, even in 40 degree weather. Go, go! I think my bear said it best, “No, I want that other cake. [...]

I grew up in Southern California. I still whine every time the temperature drops below 70, and run under the blankies whenever there is a rainstorm. But don’t get me wrong, I’m a winter idealist. I love the thought of merry snowmen, sledding children, and hot chocolate on the porch where you can see your [...]
