This house tends to breed aggression and confrontation on Sunday nights. While the intelligent part of the human population spends their weekends actively accomplishing things, we prefer to go on a * 40-hour journey of listlessness. There are times when sloth can encourage divine wrath to smite us rightfully. Consequently, there is always so much… Continue reading Coconut Dacquoise Fail

Ice cream with Honey and Apricots
I present to you Apricot Honey Ice Cream. I enjoyed this treat. I want to thank Jenny from the Basic Interior for selecting this recipe for this week. Due to rotten peaches, I used apricots instead of peaches. Having to throw away your main ingredient when you go to make something is always nice. I… Continue reading Ice cream with Honey and Apricots
Recipe for Chunky Chewy Blondies
Did you know? I’m not a fan of blondies. I don’t understand why. Is that odd? I don’t mind them, but I could do without a blondie. My favorite brownies, however, are their chocolatey cousins. I made these blondies on a whim a few weekends ago. My husband had asked for them, and I was… Continue reading Recipe for Chunky Chewy Blondies
Recipe for Low Fat Chocolate Pudding
This week’s recipe was chosen by another blogger friend and is Double Chocolate Pudding Pie. Since I haven’t yet made this week’s dessert, I was thrilled when she picked it. Yesterday morning, before I left for work, I managed to make a pudding even though I didn’t have time to make a pie. Due to… Continue reading Recipe for Low Fat Chocolate Pudding
A Parisian Style Puff Pastry
Bacon and puff pastry share a lot in common. Adding bacon or puff pastry to the cloth of whatever you are making will automatically make it ten times better. Fact, not opinion. 😛 The flaky, buttery goodness of this tart cannot be overstated. Apples, butter, brown sugar, puff pastry (I added some cinnamon at the… Continue reading A Parisian Style Puff Pastry
Dark Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream
My post about this ice cream has been put off because I just don’t know what to say about it. After all, it was ice cream. It is long gone from the freezer, so I can’t taste it again for inspiration. My memory of the ice cream was that it was just okay, nothing extraordinary.… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream
Cinnamon Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting
Okay, these were pretty delicious. Moist cinnamon cake, a surprise swirl of chocolate and cinnamon sugar in the middle, and chocolate ganache frosting to top it off. How could it be bad? The answer is, it can’t be bad. The original recipe was for a whole cake. However, in a effort to save some money… Continue reading Cinnamon Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting
Hipster Brownies
This really is an ingenious idea. Chocolate chip cookie dough on top of brownie batter. Whoever originally came up with this must have been quite pleased with themselves. Fortunately, I did not have that problem. Unfortunately, mine were under baked. I am not really sure what happened. I even had it in the oven with… Continue reading Hipster Brownies
Sugar Layer Cookie Cake
The cake batter is simple to make, and I baked it in three layers, instead of the two that the original recipe called for. I have learned that I am not a good eyeballer when dividing cake batter. So, for the first time, I actually weighed out my batter evenly for the three pans and… Continue reading Sugar Layer Cookie Cake
Flaky Peach Pie Recipe
The one request I get most from my husband of what he wants me to make is pie. It is always “where’s the pie, where’s the pie”? So for his birthday, which was a few weeks ago, I had to make him a pie. No, I wanted to make him a pie, because I love… Continue reading Flaky Peach Pie Recipe
