This recipe is one of my all time favorite french desserts.
I ate like 4 Chocolate Eclairs a day when I went to Paris for a week! So when I got back I went straight to the computer, ok so maybe I went to bed, but right after I searched for the best Eclairs I could find!

I made this White Chocolate Berry Cheesecake for a barbecue last year. It really wasn't that hard to make and was so delicious that people kept asking me where I bought it! Here is the recipe.

I am going to include these in my Christmas gift bags for my co-workers, in-laws, and other various acquaintances that I give gifts to. I wanted to come up with something savory to go along with all of the sweet concoctions that I have decided to make as well. This year the gift bags will contain:
White chocolate peppermint bark
Chocolate covered pretzels
Peppermint Patties (thanks schianne!)
Cheese Straws (my other savory delight!)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge (thanks fragiltearz!)
Sugared and Spiced Holiday nuts
Here is the recipe for the Sugar and Spiced Nuts, I thought this might be something other people would enjoy making as well.

Today I was browsing teamsugar and came across user mdbzmom asking for a recipe that consisted nonfat plain yogurt.
This got me really excited, because a lot of my favorite cakes have just that in them.
So here is a post full of the tastiest looking cakes I found on the net that have plain yogurt of course!
