Peanut Butter-Nutella Brownies

By name alone, I was already convinced this was for me.   There is nothing I dislike more than a dried out, hockey-puck-of-a brownie.  What’s the point. But these Peanut Butter-Nutella Brownies are nothing less than perfection.  Can you see the fudge-like middle?  Yeah, that’s for me. The best part about this recipe…it’s for a 9 x 13 pan and not the…

7 Up Cake with Orange Glaze

It seems like we can’t get rid of our sweet tooth over here.  The sweets continue to fill our home and our mouths faster than they can be made. The littlest hooligan came to me and said he wanted to help me bake something.  Something with Coca-Cola in it. I guess this wouldn’t be so strange except for the fact that…

The absolute BEST Lobster Bisque you could ever imagine to make at home. It’s easier than you think to make you thought you could only enjoy at a restaurant.
