Dark Chocolate and Red Velvet Make a Scrumptious Sandwich
I celebrated the season premiere of True Blood this weekend with a southern classic: red velvet cake. Rather than make a layered cake, I opted to try a cookie variation. Traditionally the cake is iced with a vanilla cream cheese frosting; however, I was in the mood for something more decadent and concocted a dark chocolate cream cheese frosting.
Go Bananas For Frozen Chocolate-Covered Banana Bites
Every so often I come across a simple recipe and wonder — why on earth didn't I think of that?! While browsing a recent issue of Bon Appétit, this was the case with frozen chocolate-dipped bananas. Frozen chocolate banana Popsicle are a fave, but, with their variety of toppings, these bites are even better!
12 Days of Edible Gifts: Hazelnut Kiss Cookies
Every holiday season, I love indulging in those classic peanut butter cookies dimpled with a Hershey Kiss center.

The combination of hazelnuts and chocolate is always divinely delicious and these crumbly hazelnut cookies with chocolate middles are no exception.

Have Your Cake and Beet It Too
While looking through Gorgeous Cakes over the weekend, I found the perfect Fall cake recipe that included one of my favorite root vegetables, beets. I love roasted beets in a salads, so why not experiment with them in baking?The uncooked batter has a stunning magenta color that's unfortunately lost once baked. However, it turns to a lovely, golden-colored cake with delicious red speckles throughout.
Outdoor Salad Side: Summer Greens and Herbs with Roasted Beets and Hazelnuts
This week, I picked up some amazing looking beets at the farmers market. I've been saving them to make this weekend, as the weather is supposed to be great, and I want to invite folks over for a little gathering in my backyard. We'll have cool drinks and barbeque, but to start things off, I'm going to serve them a salad of summer greens, herbs, roasted beets and hazelnuts.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Pesto Portobellos
Portabello mushrooms make a wonderful meaty, yet meatless meal. They can be stuffed with just about anything, but a pesto-hazelnut filling is a fresh and delicious winter pick me up. Lemon zest and chopped parsley add layers of flavor.
