Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

February 10, 2014 ·

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a hearty oatmeal buttermilk pancake studded with chocolate chips!

Every Valentine’s Day, I like to make something special for my family, whether it’s a breakfast treat or a special dessert. These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes combine the two – they taste like a chewy, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in pancake form. This recipe is adapted from my Oatmeal Raisin Pancake recipe, so they are a bit healthier, with a little decadence from the chocolate chips. For the ultimate indulgence, I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips (60% Cacao). The smooth, rich bites of chocolate studded throughout the oatmeal buttermilk pancakes really made them delicious! In fact, I used these same baking chips in my Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding recipe, and they really add such a deep, wonderful chocolate flavor. …

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….

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….
