For the next couple of posts I am handing the reigns over to my wife Dana! She was in a Christmas cookie kind of mood and we decided to have a Christmas Cookie Marathon. Dana is a great baker and here is her first recipe. Fudge Crinkles. I have never had these before, but they [...]
I hate to say it, but it is fall. Time to start designing your Halloween Costume and start cooking with pumpkin.

The other day Dana and I were having a little back and forth regarding chocolate and pumpkin. Do they go together or not? I thought they did and Dana was not sure. It seemed a tad bit icky to her. So I decided to combine my two favorite desserts and see. I combined my favorite [...]
I made one batch of these cookies and immediately had to make another. Dana and I loved them! They were delicious. We are dark chocolate fans so they hit the spot. If you wish, you can use standard cocoa and semi-sweet chips if you are not a fan of the decadent dark chocolate. Double Chocolate [...]

It was extremely tasty, but not the dream bars that I was looking for. Today is my second shot. I wanted to make the crust chewier and more moist. I wanted the top to be chewy but not cookie like.

They toast the subs, they are extremely cheap and they have Sheila’s Dream Bars. I purchase one of these puppies each and every time I enter Potbelly’s.

This time we are changing things up a bit. When it comes to bite size food, people usually forget about dessert. Granted most desserts are finger food, but not many are bite size.

We made a full day out of grilling and sipping on Coronas. To end the night we made the ultimate smores. The recipe was developed by Jeff’s sister “Spud”. While not too far off from the original, it was tweaked enough to [...]

A good brownie is moist and chewy. I hate cake brownies with frosting. If I wanted to eat cake, I would have gotten a piece of cake, not a brownie. So I have been working on my ultimate brownie recipe. There are two basic recipes for brownies. One using melted [...]
