Buying items just because they are on sale is only a bargain if you use them. Otherwise they’re a huge waste of money. Impulse grocery shopping usually comes back and bites me in the butt. My most recent example? Those cherries on sale at The Fresh Market were a great price. I was expecting cherries [...]

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Not only is that some commercial tag line, it’s also the God’s honest truth. Sometimes, bad first impressions can’t be overcome. Other times, if you look past them, you find that you were totally wrong. Like that time in middle school when both Kristen [...]

The moment I picked those berries, the clock started ticking. One reason the strawberries you buy at the grocery store taste so blah is because they’ve been in suspended animation. They get cold stored which prolongs their shelf life. Fresh picked berries, however, have essentially been removed from their life support system. The morning after [...]

This is what can happen when you remember there is an entire Sara Lee pound cake in your freezer, chocolate chips in the cupboard, and a grill press in the drawer.
I wonder how this would be with some peanut butter thrown into the mix?
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress.

What’s that? You say that you want more chocolate?
If that Chocolate Souffle didn’t satisfy your dark cravings, try this Molten Chocolate Magic. Personally, I’m looking for an excuse to make this. Does Saturday count as a special occasion?

From the looks of my blog stats, we all had the same idea about making a special Valentine’s Day dinner. Those scallops from Jacques Pepin got even more traffic than usual on the 14th. Luckily, that is a recipe that you can pull together at the last minute. And from the look of Wegman’s Saturday [...]

The ultimate Hallmark Holiday is nearly upon us. Why not whip up a little happiness courtesy of The Minimalist’s Chocolate Souffle? The souffle doesn’t care if you are alone on Valentine’s Day and savoring its chocolaty goodness all by yourself or if you’re sharing it with someone special. C’mon, desserts don’t discriminate. Remember the black [...]

Posted in Cooking, Dessert, Food, Photo, South Beach Friendly Recipe, tagged Baked Chocolate Mousse Cake on 13 November 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Rounding out the Fast Food @ Home recipes I tried last week was a baked chocolate mousse cake. Since going on South Beach, I haven’t made dessert. That chocolate covered candy crack I made for SFC’s birthday does not count. Nothing counts on birthdays.
So after months of no cakes or pies or cookies or any [...]

This week has not been my best in the kitchen. All the hubbub and activity of late has me off my game. My pantry and fridge are not adequately stocked for the meals I had planned. Somehow I overlooked a fundamental part of meal planning – making sure I have the ingredients for what I [...]
