Dessert – Photos and Migraines

It Takes Talenti!

Obviously, I did not make this gelato. I bought it for a specific reason, and I’m so glad I did. I wanted to buy some high-end chocolate bars for my husband; but since my car’s air conditioner works whenever it wants to, I was afraid I was not going to make it home in time beforeContinue reading “It Takes Talenti!”

Vanilla Pudding with Chocolate Shavings

I found this recipe in one of my old Martha Stewart Living magazines. I’m going to share the recipe because posted it online. I’m just looking for fun stuff to photograph.

Prize Date Bars – Mrs. Shuptrine’s

It does call for cloves, though. Next time I will probably leave them out. Cloves tend toContinue reading “Prize Date Bars – Mrs. Shuptrine’s”

Chocolate Whole-Wheat Biscuit Cake

I decided to take a break from my great grandmother’s recipes and try one I’ve wanted to make since the late 90s. This is a Martha Stewart dessert I got from one of her magazines years ago. I probably never made it before now because I did not have a spring-form pan. Ironically, I did not endContinue reading “Chocolate Whole-Wheat Biscuit Cake”
