Chocolate Lava Cake
Have I mentioned that I love all things chocolate? Chocolate Lava Cake is no exception to my chocolate weakness. Chocolate Lava Cake is one of my favorite desserts to order out. Mainly because I never realized that it really wasn’t that difficult to make. The more time I spend in the kitchen the more confidence … Continue Reading
Top 10 Cakes of 2010
My favorite “Top 10” list is always the Cake List, and how can it not be? After days of research and cake browsing I really just wanted to stop because it was a torture, especially when you are trying to shed some pounds and have the biggest sweet tooth EVER! In the middle of my … Continue Reading
Beef with Mushrooms and Stuffed Zucchini
Nothing is more annoying than having food go bad and having to throw it away before you have a chance to cook it. Expensive beef that turns from red to brown, veggies and start growing fur and herbs that wilt away to pure mush. So in an effort to avoid that I had to use … Continue Reading
Cream filled Puff Pastry
I love finding creative ways to use leftovers. I had left over French pastry cream from the French fruit tart and I also had puff pastry & chocolate left over from the chocolate cigars I made recently. So I decided to put them to good use and the outcome turned out better than I expected. … Continue Reading
Stuffed Chicken Breast

Andolouse Beef Sandwich
My husband and I bought a giant box of premium meats and our goal was to cook each piece of meat differently so we never ate the same thing twice. Over the weekend we sat pondering different ideas how we could prepare tenderloin for lunch. I suggested grilling it and making a steak sandwich on … Continue Reading
Wild Mushroom Bruschetta
This may sound strange but I’d rather have a bunch of tapas for dinner than just one item. Instead of choosing one item you get to enjoy a variety of tastes and textures. What’s not to like about that? If you are a mushroom lover, like myself, you will love this bruschetta. This bruschetta makes … Continue Reading
Chicken with Lemon and Garlic
When I was a kid my family told me that I would turn into a chicken because I ate it so much. Well, I’m still eating chicken and thankfully I haven’t grown feathers. This Chicken with Lemon and Garlic calls for preserved lemon. If you’re not familiar preserved lemons are used in a lot of … Continue Reading
