Life Through My Eyes
Oreos. Ice Cream. Hot Fudge. Peanuts. Whip Cream. Each alone, is delicious… so the combination? Absolutely amazing! As much as I like to make things homemade from scratch, some days are semi-homemade days… where I get help from the store. This time I got a lot of help from the store. As in all I …
I’ve been having a major sweet tooth lately. Not exactly sure why. Although I was still super tired from the trip to Virginia, Monday was one of those days that I needed something sweet. Like at that very moment. The first thing that popped in my head? Chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake squares. It’s something …
Apparently I’m having a major sweet tooth lately. Today I made chocolate cake with pecans in it. Usually I don’t even like chocolate cake! For the chocolate cake you will need: 1 and 1/2 cups of [all purpose] flour 1 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1 teaspoon …
Apparently on a baking spree today. Not only did I make Chocolate Chip & Pecan Muffins [from scratch] for breakfast today, but then I also made homemade [from scratch] cookies with chocolate chips and M&Ms in them. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a) cookies b) chocolate and c) M&Ms. So a combination of …
What’s better than freshly homemade chocolate chip muffins [from scratch] for breakfast? Ones with pecans in it for crunch. Typically I pair chocolate chip with walnuts a lot, but the pecan today… love it! What I used: 1 and 3/4 cups of flour 1/2 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon of …
Continuing my streak of incorporating nuts with my cheesecake, Friday I made a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cheesecake. This time, I experimented with a graham cracker base. Three cheesecakes, three different bases so far. Each one, very different but oh so good. Click here and here for my other cheesecake recipes so far. For today’s …
So my chocolate chip cookie recipe that I used to make my Mini Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Cookie Cups a few days ago? I used that same recipe for another version [version two?] of “cookie cups” Saturday night. This time, I used a combination of milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and toffee bits! I think …
So my chocolate chip cookie recipe? I used that today as a base for a recipe test run to see how they would turn out as “cookie cups”. They are basically cookies, but more presentable and fun. The only change I pretty much made to that recipe was instead of using a cup of milk …
So last night, I wanted chocolate chip cookies. I was tired, however, and after starting to mix the ingredients together, I just didn’t want to have to sit there and form each individual cookie, and then bake them in batches and whatnot. Epitome of laziness, I know. The compromise? I decided to just turn the …
Chocolate Hazelnut Swirl Cheesecake with a hazelnut crust. Yum? I wanted to make a cheesecake that incorporated chocolate in it, but wasn’t too chocolate-y [technical term]. Oh, and I wanted to add nuts in it. I remember coming across a lot of nutella cheesecakes, but because I didn’t want the whole thing to be chocolate… I decided …
