Treat of the Week: Fruit Filled Chocolate Tacos

fruit filled chocolate taco recipe

I probably freaked some of you out last week with the Chocolate Cake recipe. It is certainly NOT light and not a good option for anyone who is trying to lose a few elbees (LBS). As promised, though, I have some lighter treats in store for you this month beginning with today’s recipe. It’s still […]

Welcome to COOKIE WEEK! We are kicking off our 4th annual Cookie Week this week with the Classic Florentine. I cannot tell you how much I adore these cookies.

I have often wondered how someone stumbled upon the perfect pairing of chocolate and mint.

I can’t help you. I want to, but I can’t. I like sweets too much to fall prey to some futile attempt to swear off of them for a month or two to lose a few pounds. I inevitably cave and then my dessert tastes less like delicious and more like regret. So for me, I choose moderation. I […]
