Doughnuts

I love foods that fit into the Breakfast, Snack, AND Dessert categories. The way I ate these, I might as well have considered them a Main Dish.
Despite putting away over a dozen on my own, I’m not the biggest fan of doughnuts. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing bad about them, but I’m sorta [...]

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

The last time we indulged my chocolate chip cookie obsession, we looked at the Nestle Toll House recipe. Though I ate those for many years I was never completely satisfied.

CCC: Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am not shy about my love of chocolate chip cookies. I love ‘em. I can’t get enough of that carby-chewy-chocolaty combo. I will try almost any kind of cookie—sugar, oatmeal, etc.—but my love affair begins and ends with chocolate chip cookies.

We started the night off with some [...]

Vanilla Crème Brûlée

 
When I think of dessert, one of the first things that comes to mind is Crème Brûlée.  I can’t resist the contrast between the cool, creamy custard and the crisp, carmelized sugar.  Luckily this dessert is actually quite simple to make once you master a couple of basic cooking techniques (as well as wielding a [...]
