Christmas Goodies and The Food52 Cookbook Winners
Cheesecake Strawberries with Chocolate Accents
My first introduction to the concept of filling a strawberry with the flavors of cheesecake was featuring a post by Nutmeg Nanny many Fridays ago. When I finally got serious about making these little gems for a bridal shower, there were tweaks to the recipe I could not resist—lemon zest is a must in cheesecake—and [...]
Grown Up S’mores [via Someone Left The Cake Out In The Rain]: Feature Fridays
As I leisurely finished my iced coffee this morning, I discover this S’mores recipe from Someone Left The Cake Out In The Rain—an automatic YUM! was set off in my brain. According to the author, the marshmallow drooping down the sides of the chocolate was a fail … Uh, I don’t think so. I think [...]
Triple Chocolate Cookies
What’s better than just plain chocolate? Chocolate delivered three ways in one cookie. A soft chocolate cookie wrapped around white chocolate and bittersweet chocolate chips is milk’s new best friend. A hint of instant coffee—the secret in great chocolate desserts—does wonders for chocolate cookies, deepening flavor and adding complexity. Make a batch to take to [...]
Chocolate Kiwi Popsicles [via Showfood Chef]: Feature Fridays
After 90° temperatures here in Colorado yesterday, it is no surprise these kiwi popsicles at Showfood Chef caught my eye. What can be better than a recipe with two ingredients–especially when one of them is chocolate? These look refreshing, delicious, and fun for summer treats. Enjoy!
Ghirardelli Grand Fudge Cake with Coconut-Pecan and Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
German Chocolate is the favored cake of two in our household, but the least favored of two others. We do not indulge in dessert often, birthdays being the exception. In order to honor birthday wishes and still include everyone in a celebratory cake, this “halvsies” cake has become a standard that suits everyone. Ghirardelli Grand Fudge Cake [...]
Memorial Day BBQ Menu & Recipes
Of course, you can throw the usual burgers and brats on the grill, but if you’re feeding more than a handful of people burgers can be dry or cold before your guests get one on a bun. BBQ Pulled Pork and Pulled Chicken Sandwiches are an ideal choice to feed a crowd. Easily prepared ahead [...]
Test Kitchen Tuesdays: Homemade Oreos
I thought it would be nice to try a new cookie recipe for Test Kitchen Tuesday this week. Although we do not eat sweets much anymore, I am still open to treats worthy of a special occasion. Since Oreos are made with hydrogenated oils, a homemade version could prove to be a great alternative. This [...]
Feature Fridays: Healthy Hot Chocolate (via Squash Blossom Babies)
Fridays have become my day to surf and study—searching the web for notable blog posts about food, of course, and featuring those blogs/posts/pictures/stories/recipes here on Savoring Today. I liked Healthy Hot Chocolate simply because of the creativity of ingredients, beautiful photos, and who doesn’t need a little chocolate on Friday. Enjoy! Don’t you LOVE it [...]
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Looking for softer whole wheat chocolate chip cookies? King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour produces superior results in delicate baked goods that are typically weighed-down, hard, or dry when using whole wheat flours. We don’t eat dessert much anymore, so when we do it has to be worth it. Chewy centers, slightly crisp exterior, and [...]
