Rich, decadent chocolate brownies topped with a nice, thick, minty layer of sweet icing unabashedly spiked with green food coloring, and then sprinkled with mini chocolate chips. Chocolate on mint on chocolate.

Baileys & Coffee Cupcakes
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 in Dessert, Entertaining, Food, Holidays
Espresso-spiked cake makes for a very unique flavor. I’d never tasted a cupcake like it, but I loved it. The cake isn’t too sweet, in a good way. The light-as-a-cloud topper of Baileys-laden whipped cream is the perfect companion; sprinkle some instant espresso on top, and you’re good to go.
Salted Dark-Chocolate-Dipped Oranges
Wednesday, February 8, 2012 in Chicks Dig It, Entertaining, Food, Fruit, Gluten Free, Vegetarian
So easy. Segments of oranges dipped in rich, dark chocolate and spiked with flakes of Fleur de sel … it totally works.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes
Friday, February 3, 2012 in Dessert, Food, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
The cupcake is reminiscent of a Toll House Cookie bar, but, you know, in cupcake form. Ooey, chewy, gooey, chocolate chippy goodness. And the buttercream … oh my. Lots of brown sugar, a hit of vanilla, a pinch of salt to take it over the top.
Spicy Baked Buffalo Wings
Monday, January 30, 2012 in Carnivores, Entertaining, Food, Gluten Free, Gruntworthy for Guys
Step-by-step recipe for spicy baked buffalo wings – “Spicy enough to where they’re enjoyable, but not so much to where I’m in pain. I could eat those all day.”
Espresso Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 in Chicks Dig It, Dessert, Food, Vegetarian
Chewy, gooey, oozing with chocolate. Step-by-step recipe with photos for Espresso Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, heavy on chocolate and caffeinated to boot.
Cheater Meyer Lemon Rolls
Saturday, January 21, 2012 in Breads, Breakfast, Chicks Dig It, Dessert, Food, Fruit, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
So they’re a bit of a cheat – they use refrigerator crescent rolls. They’re also really, really delicious. The sauce creates a tart, lemony-orange caramel on the bottom of the rolls, and the zest settles into the cracks along the top.
Cowboy Cookies
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
Dang delicious and really kind of fun to make. They’re like big chocolate chip cookies on steroids (the good kind, if there’s a good kind), beefed up with rolled oats, flaked coconut and a touch of cinnamon. Hearty and delicious.
Meyer Lemon Cake Bars
Monday, January 16, 2012 in Dessert, Food, Fruit, Vegetarian
A delicious cross between a brownie and snack cake. They’re dense with a large crumb, super-moist, buttery, rich, and the perfect balance of lemony-sweet. The tangy glaze is the cherry on top.
Melissa Etheridge Salad (Avocado, Warmed Feta & Baby Greens Salad) + A Baby!
Monday, January 9, 2012 in Chicks Dig It, Food, Soups and Salads, Vegetarian
Feta warmed with torn bread crumbs and creamy avocado over mixed baby greens, sprinkled with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Delicious. Plus a bonus photo of our new baby!
White Chocolate Oreo Bark
Thursday, December 22, 2011 in Dessert, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
We’re talking white chocolate and Oreo cookies, all mushed together and made into a heavenly bark. Easy, delicious and festive.
Chocolate Pretzel Candies
Wednesday, December 21, 2011 in Entertaining, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
Sweet and salty = yum! As far as easy treats go, these are insanely so. Put down a pretzel, add a Hershey’s kiss, melt the kiss a little and then plop an M&M on top.
Homemade Candy Cane Hot Cocoa Mix
Tuesday, December 20, 2011 in Drinks, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly
This yummy homemade candy cane hot cocoa mix makes the perfect gift for everyone on your “nice” list. Dark chocolate adds depth, crushed candy canes give it a minty twist and the white chocolate rounds it all out. It comes together incredibly quickly with the help of a food processor.
Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Wednesday, December 14, 2011 in Dessert, Food, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
With only five ingredients (six if you add the sprinkles), Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are a simple, easy goodie that come together in no time at all and will undoubtedly disappear equally quickly. But don’t worry; smiles (and quite possibly recipe requests) will be left behind.
