If there’s one thing I love, it’s receiving packages in the mail, especially surprise ones! So you can definitely imagine how I felt when I opened my door recently to find a delivery man standing there holding all of this… Man, I love being a food blogger! Let’s find out what exactly is in this…

Zoku Quick Pop Maker Recipes
When mobile phones were becoming popular, a bit over 10 years ago, I jumped right on the bandwagon and got a Nokia phone. It was very basic, no color screen or anything, couldn’t text or take pictures. But I did have a changeable faceplate kind of thing. I had two different colors for it –…
Julia Child’s Queen Of Sheba Cake
For a while there, I was wondering if I was ever going to bake anything again. I had the best ingredients on hand (Van Houten cocao, various Beanilla products) but no idea what to do with them. In the middle of the night, I’d find myself thinking about anything at all interesting that I could…
Dark Chocolate Caramel Pudding & a Review of Alter Eco Pacific Chocolate

Apple Cupcakes
It astounds me when I see all the different varieties of apples that there are in the store. My favorite for eating is usually Pink Ladies, and my least favorite is Red Delicious. For baking though, there’s usually one main choice, Granny Smith apples. These apples are what I used in my entry for Iron…
Dulce De Leche Pumpkin Cupcakes
Unfortunately, dulce de leche isn’t available in most stores, but you can make it yourself at home quite easily with a can of sweetened condensed milk. There are many methods to do this – you can boil the can, opened or unopened for a few hours; you can use an oven; you can use a…
