Ok, so I have to tell you right now: this cake has salad dressing in it. Don’t leave. I promise there’s a method to my madness. Have you ever had mayonnaise cake? If you have, this cake won’t seem so strange to you. Actually, my mom’s recipe for Crazy Cake (which I know just about every family has their own version of) calls for vinegar and oil – the two main components of vinaigrette – so using a vinaigrette-style salad dressing in a cake didn’t sound completely off the wall to me....
Dark Chocolate-Coated Cranberry Cake Bites {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
I have a stock-pile of recipes building up. I’m not quite sure how that happened since I’ve been posting much more than normal lately, but I’m definitely not going to complain! However, I’ve noticed quite a few treat recipes that are fall-ish and/or perfect for festive holiday gatherings, and I wanted to get them all posted before this holiday season has come and gone....
Autumnal Afternoon Tea
A couple weeks ago I hosted a cozy afternoon tea with an autumnal flair. It was so much fun and there was talk of making it seasonal affair, which I think is a wonderful idea! I’m going to be sharing the recipes I made throughout the next month or so, but for now I’m going to let the photos do the talking....
Salted Butter Toffee Popcorn with Dark Chocolate and Toasted Almonds
Sometimes I get a recipe stuck in my head. For example, those Tuna Cakes I posted last time? Yeah…I’ve been eating them for lunch for two weeks straight. (Part of the reason is because they’re delicious, but if I’m being honest, it’s mostly because I’ve been super busy and they’re a quick and easy meal if I make a double batch and individually freeze them.) The week before, I had this salad for lunch six days straight....

Dark Chocolate POM Brownies with White Chocolate POM Buttercream
I recently received a case of POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice from the fantastic people at POM (thank you!). I’ve been thinking about what to make with it and for some reason I just couldn’t get dark chocolate out of my mind. (Maybe I was thinking that all the antioxidants in the dark chocolate would be enhanced by all the antioxidants in the pomegranate juice…yes, I’m sure that’s why I had dark chocolate on my mind. ;) ) I debated what to make, but in the end I decided brownies would be delicious. To contrast the dark chocolate in the brownies, I thought a white […]...
