Chocolate Chickpea Cake is a fudgy, rich-tasting cake made without any butter or oil. Chickpeas add some protein and fiber, while taking the place of flour. This unique cake is a real treat! {gluten free, depending on baking powder}…
Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding #SundaySupper
February 9, 2014 ·
Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding is studded with chopped Whoppers candies, chocolate chips, drizzled with chocolate syrup and drenched in a light custard. This fun dessert for two takes minutes to mix together and then bakes for about 30 minutes.
One of Mike’s favorite treats are Triple Chocolate Malted Cookies. He also loves Whoppers candies. Actually, he is pretty much crazy for anything chocolate malt, so I thought it would be fun to make a special dessert with this favorite in mind. I wanted to make a dessert for two, and Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding jumped to the top of the list…for obvious reasons….
S’mores Snack Cake #SundaySupper
January 12, 2014 ·
S’mores Snack Cake is a simple chocolate cake topped with graham crackers, chocolate chips and marshmallows. A super easy and tasty twist on a campfire favorite! 
Today we are celebrating two years of the Sunday Supper Movement by throwing a virtual birthday party! Everybody is sharing a favorite Sunday Supper moment and recipe. Honestly, each week that I participate becomes a new favorite – from the creative themes, to the wide variety of delicious recipes to the most important of all – each and every one of the amazing bloggers! The Sunday Supper group is smart, supportive, creative, fun and truly feels like a family. So I decided that my favorite Sunday Supper moment has to be the very first time I joined the virtual Sunday Supper family table – last September 1st (theme: Labor Day).

Easy Date Bars
January 10, 2014 ·
Easy Date Bars are a date-filled oatmeal bars inspired by a childhood favorite. They taste similar to my grandma’s recipe, only made a little healthier and are super quick and easy to make!
One of my favorite cookies from childhood is a recipe my grandma used to make, called Trilbies. They are a soft, oatmeal cookie with a date filling. They were SO good. I do have her recipe, but I remember she always complained about how much trouble they were to make. They always end up last on my holiday baking list and never get made. This year, I decided to take my favorite aspects of the recipe – dates and oats – and turn them into simple Easy Date Bars! They taste pretty darn close to the beloved cookie – close enough anyway, because these Easy Date Bars are super easy to make!…
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge #SundaySupper
December 22, 2013 ·
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge is a wonderful, festive fudge recipe that is super easy to make with no candy thermometer required!
Over the summer I found a fudge recipe that has now been sitting in my ‘to-make’ pile for months. It’s for Pumpkin Pie Fudge, looks fabulous, but requires a candy thermometer. Having to use a candy thermometer was just a little too high maintenance for what I had in mind, so the recipe sits. Then I found a fudge recipe that requires no candy thermometer, and I was intrigued. White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge that is super easy to make? This could be wonderful (and dangerous!)

Mocha Truffle Cookies
December 17, 2013 ·
Mocha Truffle Cookies combine the classic chocolate and coffee pairing into a tasty little cookie. Easy to make, perfect for any occasion!
Whenever I think about my grandma, aside from her baking prowess, two things come to mind. Wherever we went, we were always together, like joined at the hip together. I thought she was always following me, and I overheard her say how she thought it was cute how I always followed her. One thing for certain was how much we both loved coffee! After dinner, she and I would often enjoy a little cup of decaf together. I remember one of the last Christmases with her, we were sitting at the table, holding our dainty cups of coffee. She looked at me and not so subtly whispered ‘you know what we need with coffee? chocolaaaaaaate!’ It makes me smile just to think about it. She was so funny and so right on! The combination of chocolate and coffee is up there with chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate and milk (or chocolate and chocolate!) …
Red Wine Chocolate Cake #SundaySupper
December 15, 2013 ·
Red Wine Chocolate Cake is a decadent chocolate bundt cake that is as delicious as it is easy to make. The red wine in the batter gives this cake a sophisticated flair, making it a wonderful finale to your Holiday meal, or any special occasion.
This week Sunday Supper partnered with Gallo Family Vineyards to share Memorable Holiday Meals: Holiday Traditions and Recipes using wine in the recipe. When it comes to memorable Holiday recipes, a cake always stands out as something special. So when we received two bottles of wine from them – Moscato and Cabernet Sauvignon – this Red Wine Chocolate Cake came to mind immediately. Their full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has tastes of rich black fruit and spice, which I thought would complement the chocolate perfectly….

In preparation for holiday celebrations and entertaining, it’s that time of year when you’re making your lists and checking them twice. If you’re like me, you have it all planned out…or so you think. Then your kids take a short 20 minute nap, have extra activities for the holidays, they need you to play trains, need help put on socks, or just neeeeeeeed something! Sound familiar? (please say yes!) Life happens, right? That’s why I have found some tricks to help make meals and entertaining easier during this busy holiday season….
Peppermint Brownie Sundae
December 9, 2013 ·
This Peppermint Brownie Sundae is made with a fudgy brownie covered with peppermint ice cream and your favorite toppings. A classic and delicious combination is perfect for the Holidays!
This Peppermint Brownie Sundae starts with one of my favorite fudgy brownie recipes. The brownie is sturdy enough to withstand the ice cream topping without becoming soggy yet it melts in your mouth with fudgy goodness. A little peppermint extract to gives the brownies some Holiday flair, but that is optional. You get plenty of peppermint from the delicious peppermint ice cream! I wait all year for my favorite Edy’s Slow Churned Peppermint Wonderland ice cream that is a limited edition available through December. The fact that it is ridiculously rich and creamy with only half the fat and 1/3 fewer calories than regular ice cream is just a bonus.
