Treat of the Week: German Chocolate Cake

german chocolate cake recipe

There’s a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray. As a boy (and sometimes still as an adult) I always imagined that the party was for me. You see, today is my birthday. Now, I won’t bore you with the usual Christmas birthday grumblings. Instead I’ll just relish in the idea that the “click-clack” […]

Cookie Week moves forward with our second entry for this year… Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies. If you are a fan of chocolate, you are going to LOVE this cookie.

Quick Hit: Chocolate Caramel Preztels with Espresso Beans

I found a post on this treat a couple of years ago and vowed to make them one day. I made them last night but never intended to make it a post.  I just wanted to eat them. They are SO simple and ridiculously tasty. It seems as though there are hundreds of posts dedicated […]

Treat of the Week: Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with Salted Caramel Glaze

Rarely do flavors come together in a way that make me as happy as these three… pumpkin, chocolate, and caramel. Making matters even better is the fact that it comes in the form of a rich yet fluffy cheesecake square. This is sheer fall perfection… pumpkin cheesecake bars with salted caramel glaze. You are going to be […]

Sometimes you just need a quick and delicious dessert solution. This is that solution. Of course, there is the matter of the cold brewing time, but that will all depend on whether you have some already brewed or not. The combination of flavors here cannot miss. Coffee, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate? What’s not to […]

Last Friday was National Chocolate Éclair Day. Clearly… I wasn’t fully prepared. The post was mostly ready, but not really. There have been a couple of posts that I rushed right through to be able to put something out for you ( I won’t tell which ones) but I decided some time ago that I would […]

Treat of the Week: S’mores Semifreddo

We are wrapping up Man Week with a very special Treat of the Week. For me, few things are as satisfying as ice cream. This frozen treat isn’t quite ice cream, but it has all of the essential characteristics.   This isn’t our first semifreddo. You may remember Peach Semifreddo from last year. This time we have added the flavors […]

Treat of the Week: Cassata

My fondest Easter memory occurred many years ago as a student in Italy. It was my good fortune to be invited to a traditional Easter dinner by the proprietor of a local campground. This was a campground unlike any I had experienced in America and at the heart of it was a massive covered patio punctuated on […]

We are so excited to share our latest video with you. This one took a bit longer to make, but it is the best one so far.   In case you wondered, the actual shooting of the video clips did not take that long at all. What takes an incredible amount of time is editing […]
