Desserts

I’ve been craving cake all week.  I made Apple Cinnamon Muffins on Sunday, and Dangerously Delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins on Tuesday, but it just didn’t do the trick.  So, yesterday I turned to my all-time favourite, AllRecipes.com, and found this recipe for Too Much Chocolate Cake.  Looked easy – a doctored box cake.  It has an average rating of ...

Every year when the free-movie pass cereals come out, I just have to buy a few boxes – pay for breakfast, get a night out for free!  Who can resist?  However, this year for some silly reason, the Cheerios I usually like to buy, the Apple Cinnamon and the Honey Nut, have the free Child movie passes while the Chocolate-flavoured ...

This recipe was one my mom used to make when we were little.  My dad wasn’t able to have chocolate, so we couldn’t often eat something like this.  But once a year he went away to a teaching conference, and we were so excited to see him go.  Not because we wanted to get rid of him, but it meant ...

 This is a variation on the original Five Minute Fudge.  I’ve never actually tried any of the suggested combinations, but I thought in honour of Valentine’s day, I’d give this version a try. Take one can of white or vanilla icing, combine it in a glass bowl with one package of white chocolate chips.  Microwave on 70% power for about ... Read More »

Is it strange that I intentionally let the last two bananas in the bunch get over ripe last week, just so that I’d be able to make banana bread, or something else just as tasty?  I must admit, though I am often inspired by recipes on Pinterest, if I know what type of food I want to cook or bake ...

I pinned this recipe last Friday night, and when my husband went out of town for a boys night of Starcraft and Steak on Saturday I decided that Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pie would be my treat in the evening.   I couldn’t actually find Hot Fudge sauce, but the Smuckers Chocolate Fudge sauce seemed to do the trick.  ...

I love mug cakes.  It’s probably because I live with a man who would rather have a second steak than a good dessert.  Thus, I rarely make dessert.  Sometimes, however, it’s nice to have a little something in the evening – and when it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and less than 2 minutes to bake, as is ...

Just like our previous post on chocolate-dipping, this one is incredibly simple and looks very impressive.  I just melted some chocolate in the microwave at 60% power.  Dipped the clementines in, let them cool…and that’s it. Read More »

I’ve always loved peanut brittle, but I couldn’t be bothered to do all the boiling, waiting, and checking temperature.  I came accross this recipe from my mom a number of years ago.  It is so incredibly easy and it tatses great.  It may be good for older kids to help with, but it gets REALLY hot in the microwave, so I’d ...

I don’t even remember who I first heard this recipe from.  It was told by word of mouth and it’s so incredibly easy.  Just two ingredients gives you the perfect no-fail, five minute fudge.    Take one can of frosting, one package of chocolate chips, and put them in a microwavable bowl.  Microwave at 70% power for 2 minutes.  Stir ...
