I am super sad to see Pie Week come to a close.  So sad, in fact, that you may just start seeing a pie a month around here.  Plus, we have Pi(e) Day to look forward on March 14th, so all is not lost!  As National Pie Day comes to a close, marking the end […]

Have you ever said something about someone and it turns out they were standing right behind you while you were saying it? I have.  On the first day of Camp Blogaway in 2012, a friend and I were standing at the networking table, which usually includes promotional materials for bloggers and brands.  There was a […]

I recently made a tofu cheesecake for dessert—a no-bake, lightened up version of cheesecake that uses tofu and powdered gelatin.  Usually when I make cheesecake, lightened up or not, I make it in some sort of cookie crust.  As I was whipping up the filling for this cheesecake, however, the process reminded me of a […]

Sticky toffee pudding.  Those three little words are enough to make me go weak in the knees.  This British dessert is one of my all-time favorites, and with the Olympics being the main attraction at our house right now, and the added excitement of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this year, I was very excited when […]

Chocolate avocado fudge might sound a bit strange, but it’s actually a genius idea, but one I can’t take the credit for.  Pureed avocado is used in place of butter when making the fudge.  The result is a rich and extremely creamy chocolate fudge—and no, you would never guess there was any avocado in it!

Happy National Pi(e) Day! π, or pi, is an irrational number, which means it continues infinitely without repeating.  However it is approximately equal to 3.14.  Since today is March 14th, or 3.14, it’s Pi Day!  Because pi’s homophone is “pie,” today is also National Pi(e) Day, making pie the logical choice in celebration food.

Is it just me, or did November just smack us upside the head?  I’ve been sitting here scratching my head this morning trying to figure out how Thanksgiving is already next week.  Wait, wasn’t it just September yesterday?  While I try to catch up with my calendar, how about some chocolate?  Chocolate makes everything better.  […]
