Do you ever just look at images like the one above and tilt your head in adoration? I’m totally doing that right now. It’s as if the pretzel is saying, “Hey, Marta, you’re pretty fantastic for making us. How about you devour me like a little savage?” And I’m over here all, “Yes, little Chocolate…

Raspberry-Chocolate Ganache Torte
Some people look at architecture and sigh. Others will swoon at the sight of a majestic mountain. Me, myself? I fall to pieces at the sight of a perfect slice of cake. And this shot right here? Gots me all sorts of discombobulated. Taking that first bite? Shooooowwweeeee, child. ‘Twas sinful, indeed. My favorite way…
Hot Chocolate Truffles: Five Ways
It’s almost that time y’all! By now you’re either stressing out over the fact that you can’t find Junior’s Fortnight crap, or you’ve just wrapped the last perfect bow on your perfect gift- that your perfect self purchased in August. No matter which gifter you are, it’s time to sit back and relax with a…
Christmas Chocolate Truffles (Five Flavors)
Okay, so last week I bombarded you with amazing gift ideas for your favorite guy, gal, kid, novice home cook, and even some things for the chefiest-chef you know. But, what happens when Amazon just won’t get your gifts to you on time? Have no fear! Food is here! Seriously, some of the best gifts…
Cannolis: Three Different (Delicious) Varieties
Christmastime makes me think of NYC’s Little Italy, for some reason. Little Italy makes me think of Italian cookies and cannolis. Don’t ask me why all of these tie together in my memory. I, for one, am not Italian. We didn’t spend a lot of time in Little Italy, and cannolis weren’t a big thing…
Black Forest Cheesecake: My American Twist
One-hundred-eleven. That’s how hot it was yesterday. There’s no reason for it to be this hot, my friend. I thank God my husband is not deployed to a desert this year. He would be experiencing these highs while wearing a uniform. But, I’m still holed up in my air-conditioned house as much as possible. Summers…
Maple Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
Shoooooo, y’all!!! I almost messed up Thanksgiving! Your girl completely blew off the fact that, as a food blogger, I should be blogging about- say…FOOD?!?! ESPECIALLY on one of the foodiest holidays that exists. Instead, I was galavanting around my garage building stuff in a last-ditch effort to get my proverbial “ish” together. By the Monday before…
Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding
Another Spring has come. We’ve spent three Springtimes here, but only one of those has been with the Soldier. Kind of odd, isn’t it, that I can tell people, “Oh, I’ve lived here for three years! My husband? He’s only lived here for two.” Odd indeed. Bread pudding is odd as well. Drench stale bread…
S’mores Cheesecake- No Campfire Needed!
Oh, winter! How fleeting a memory you were! Alas, the time has come for me to avoid all traces of outdoor life with my very country, very “nature-y” family. They want me to “camp out”, i.e. sleep outside when I have a perfectly functional Tempur-pedic mattress in a perfectly safe bedroom inside of a perfectly…
Liquid Sin: Hot Truffles Chocolate Recipe
It’s almost that time, friends!! Time for the jolly, fat dude with his beasts of burden to come traipsing into our homes, unannounced, and take credit for all of our budgeting and expenditures! Not only are we expected to make him the hero of Christmas, we also need to feed him and offer him some libations to…
