You guys… I think I have found my new guilty pleasure. Nutella Puff Pastries! THEY ARE TO DIE FOR! I came across this recipe (which I can no longer find) and decided to make them after we had bought puff pastry for another dessert that I never made. They are unbelievably simple to make… especially […]

I have always wanted to try making Backlava, but making it seemed like an impossibly task- like french macarons. It took me a LONG time to agree to even try it for some reason. When I did, I LOVED IT! Perhaps that’s because it was  made by a Greek woman I worked with, who was […]

I love under-baked cookies that melt in your mouth 🙂 Unfortunately, my version were not nearly as ooey and gooey as the original listed below. But they still […]

I have been wanting to make this recipe from Baked Explorations for awhile and finally got around to doing it. I made some very minor adjustments (dark chocolate chips instead of chunks). This chocolate loaf is delicious and was well worth the wait!     3/4 c. packed dark brown sugar 1 c. cocoa powder […]
