Homemade Chocolate Pudding

AMAZING!  Why haven’t I thought of doing this before?  Why do I always buy the Jell-o brand at the store?  Who knows, but now that I have discovered this gem there will be no more store bought Jello from me.  A few nights ago I had a craving for chocolate and my regular peice of Dove Dark Chocolate was not going [...]

Valentine’s Day Recap

Kyle and I had a great Valentine’s Day!  We went to church, took Miss Xena on a long walk in the snow, watched the Olympics, made an amazing dinner and dessert and relaxed.  Sadly, we scarfted dinner before getting any pictures but I did take a few pre-cooking pictures.  Here was the menu. Dinner: king [...]

Double Broiler…Ghetto Style!!

I don’t have a double broiler…because…I don’t need one!! Haha…no really…since I don’t have one I read somewhere that I can just place a bowl over a little pot of simmering water and it work just as good.  It worked perfectly!  I was very impressed and only steam burned myself 2 times! =)  (Be careful!)  I know that [...]

Chocolate Jello Fruit Dessert (in a hurry)…

A while back Kyle and I were invited to a friends house and I had so much going on that day that I had to make something quick and simple.  I don’t like bringing store bought dessert so I dug through my pantry and this is what I made up….chocolate jello fruit dessert!   It was [...]

Martha Stewart chocolate chip cookies = disappointment!

I was so excited to try these cookies since they are “Martha Stewart’s” but man….I was disappointmented.  The cookies turned out so flat and didn’t really have the best taste.  They were nothing special.  I know that some people like really thin brittle cookies but not me!  I love fluffy chewy cookies…total opposite.  I found [...]

Chocolate banana bread

If you LOVE chocolate then this recipe is for you!  This was so much more chocolatey than I thought it would be but I LOVED it!  I always seem to have bananas laying around that I have to use and I am not the biggest fan of plain old banana bread.  I intended to eat [...]

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

These are Kyle’s FAVORTIE cookie ever.  He was eating them after meals, before meals and in the morning so they were gone pretty quickly.  They are really rich but they are good and easy too.  I had never heard of them until I met him (8 years ago) but before then I had never had [...]

Same ol’ Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

Every time I feel like chocolate chip cookies I go to this recipe.  I thought that I would post again since it has been a little while since the last time and they turned out a little different!  This time they were a lot thicker, if that makes sense.  Haha.  They tasted the same just [...]

OOppss…another box cake…German Chocolate

What I love more that funfetti cake…..GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE!  It has always been my favorite cake.  For every birthday, every special occasion and sometimes for no reason at all my Mom would make German Chocolate Cake.  This was the largest layer of my wedding cake as well which makes it even more special and important. =)  I made this [...]

Funfetti Brownies…from the box!!

This is so sad but I LOVE anything funfetti…just like a little girl.  I love the brownies, cookies, cakes and cupcakes.  While I was shopping the other day I came across this box of brownies that were on sale for $1.00.  Apparently I am the only one who likes funfetti brownies because they were on [...]
