Classic Brownie for One

When I most recently lost the database behind my site, I discovered that some of my recipes had not been saved anywhere else leaving me no choice but to try to recreate them. This single serving brownie recipe was one of the ones that was lost. I’m not certain...

Almond Coconut Crunch Brownies

These brownies originally appeared very shortly after the Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies. Just like the Peanut Butter Crunch brownies, the Almond Coconut Crunch brownies offer a classic flavor pairing (Almond Joy, anyone??) and a lovely juxtaposition of crunchy and fudgy textures. Unfortunately, the Almond Joy pieces candy called for...

Scotchkin Cupcakes

This is another very early recipe from the first incarnation of this site, and another one that makes good use of extra pumpkin puree. As I’ve been working on restoring recipes to the site, I’ve been taking the opportunity to closely review each one. In that process, I realized...

Salted Caramel Sauce

As far as I’m concerned, caramel sauce is a kitchen staple. It is delicious and versatile, playing well with a broad range of flavors. It can be swapped in pretty much anywhere a syrup is called for, whether it is drizzled on top or baked right in. Many people...

Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies

This is another recipe from “before”. If you perused my site in one of its previous incarnations, you probably noticed that I have a bit of a weakness for brownies – from simple to over-the-top-extravagant, as long as they are dense, fudgy chocolate perfection,  I’m in love. These brownies...

Red Velvet Sweetheart Cookies

I’m so excited – this is the first truly new recipe/post since relaunching the site! I had planned to get all of the older content re-posted before posting anything brand new, but how could I not post these cookies on Valentine’s day? These cookies are not necessarily anything surprising...

Double Pumpkin Pancakes

Pancakes are usually my go-to for weekend breakfasts. The batter comes together quickly, usually with ingredients I already have on hand, and they are pretty quick to cook as well. It is easy to make a large batch that will both satisfy the appetites of the moments and, as...

Basic Pie Crust

While I have had a basic pie crust recipe on every incarnation of this site, this actually is not the same one I originally posted. I’m going to tell you a little secret – I don’t *like* (most) pie crust – I much prefer the filling. As a result,...

English Toffee

I have a number of recipes that call for toffee pieces, which, of course, you can buy in nice convenient bags of already crushed toffee pieces, both with and without chocolate. So, why take the time to make my own? For me it all came down to control over...

Mocha Chocolate Chunk Brownies

This was the very first recipe I ever posted on Chocoholic Anonymous. As I recall, there was an online baking community I wanted to participate in, but I did not have an online presence where I could post about my participation. I quickly took steps to rectify the situation....
