Chocolate is my friend

I think your taste buds must change over time because four years ago I thought nuts were disgusting and really wasn’t a fan of dark chocolate.  At all. I am still iffy on super dark chocolate (nothing over 80% thankyouverymuch), but I adore salty cashews and crave almond and peanut butter almost daily.  But that’s neither here nor there.  <— pointless tangent much? For the people who (still) don’t like nuts, this recipe is for you.  It’s also for my fellow chocoholics. How cute are these mini chocolate chips?

Sunday night family dinner

Kyle and I made a resolution this year to sit down to a real dinner together every Sunday night.  It may be hard on the weekends that I work, but we will do our best.

What I ate (last) Wednesday

Umm, I still have last week’s food on my computer.  Sooo, that’s weird.  It’s been a while since I’ve blogged an entire day’s eats (so many recipes!).  Why not share 24 hours full of food?  [or whatever portion of the day I was awake] I woke up at 4:30 for work because I’m crazy and like shorting myself an hour of sleep to exercise before I’m on my feet for 12 hours straight.  Helloooo sarcasm.   On the way to work (at 6:25 am) I enjoyed a [raw] Cardamom Almond Biscotti by TwinCakes Bakery.  I… Read more >

Dreaming of bread

Last weekend, I woke up in the middle of the night salivating.  Why?    Because of the delicious aroma of this loaf of bread.  Blame it on the carbs, yo! Note to self: never again start a loaf of bread in the breadmaker as you are going to bed.  If you’ve ever made bread, you probably know where I’m coming from because you know how fantastic it smells.  Well apparently my dreaming self got a whiff of the fresh warm dough and wanted in on the action.  I incorporated the smell into a dream and… Read more >
