S'mores Cookie Cups

Hi guys! This week I'm coming at you with a recipe from... 9 hours ago! It's true, this week I was so awful in procrastinating I didn't pick a recipe until 11 am. I must say though, I picked an awesome one! It was a toss up between these and a trial recipe that someone suggested a few days ago. Unfortunately I was a little slow to start this morning and sat on Reddit for entirely way too long, so my time constraint decided on these amazing S'mores Cookie Cups! I promise they are every bit as delicious as they sound ;)

No Bake Birthday Cake Truffles

I made these Saturday night, and by the time I left work on Monday, they were mostly gone. Keeping in mind that this batch made 34 truffles, and my department is only 4 people, that can only mean that word spread quickly around the building and goodness gracious do people love their birthday cake! Needless to say, by the end of the day I was one popular lady at work ;)

Double Chocolate Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookies

Are you ready for the most amazing end to your week? Today I'm going to share the most amazing cookie recipe I think I've ever made! It may be super time consuming and definitely an arm workout, but in the end they're so worth it! The chocolate cookie base makes this dense and fudgy, the added brownie chunks and melted chocolate chips make these absolutely to die for! I made mine small because honestly if I had made them any bigger, I wouldn't be able to eat a whole one; they're are incredibly rich!

Easy Chocolate Brownies

This week I'm sharing with you a recipe that I'd like you to put in your back pocket for a recipe I'll be sharing with you sometime later this month. Sometimes the urge just hits you for a thick, chocolatey, fudgey, gooey brownie. And let me tell you, it hit me hard a few days ago! Brownies are not something S and I usually keep in the house; we try to eat healthy and honestly if I make a pan of brownies Monday, between the two of us, the pan will be demolished by Wednesday morning. Especially with how easy this recipe is, it's a real challenge to not whip up a batch every time a little craving hits! It's not something I'm proud of, but if you leave me around chocolate for too long, you better not have had any sentimental attachment to it! So this week I'm squashing a craving and sending the rest out into the world to co-workers and friends in the hopes that they'll gain the pounds meant for me ;)

Rice Pudding

Today's post comes to you from my sweet tooth. After making more of that amazing chicken and potato curry, we had a LOT of leftover rice! And I absolutely hate reheating rice. It's probably because I just don't know how to do it well, but it always turns out hard and crunchy and gross! So either I try to make only the amount of rice I need, or I end up throwing it out! What a shame, right? So I did some research, and wouldn't you know it, with a little tweaking, I found the most amazing leftover rice pudding I've ever come across!

Peanut Butter Frosting

Hiya everyone! So a few days ago I made the most amazing pumpkin bread, and I hope you all made some because tonight's recipe is a healthy version of a frosting I made to compliment that bread. One slice with a tablespoon of this frosting on top, and you'll be in heaven! I'm really glad that I gave away half of my loaf and frosting because it would have been all gone by now and my body would not be thanking me for it!

Pumpkin Pie Protein Balls

Yay it's fall! That means I can get as many cans of pumpkin as I like for the cheapest price, fill my basket to the brim with pumpkin, and no one will even take a second glance at me! I absolutely love fall, and lately I've been absolutely loving mornings. For the last few days I've been waking up around 7 am (except for this morning, I slept in until 9 ;) ) just to wake up and enjoy the part of the day I normally sleep through. I've found that waking up after exactly 8 hours of sleep gives me the much needed energy I usually lack, so I wake up around 7, shower, make myself a nice cup of coffee and just relax and get myself in order for the rest of the day. There's one thing that I never do though; I never have breakfast. I've never really been a huge breakfast person - my comically large ramekin-mug full of coffee usually suffices as breakfast for me. And halfway through my morning, I'm sluggish and struggling to stay awake (coincidence? I'll shamefully take that as a no...). These little babies are the perfect little thing to have with my morning coffee to keep me going until lunch! Heck, I might even have one or two with lunch to keep me going until dinner ;)

Bread Pudding

Hi guys! Your cooking class hero has been feeling a little homesick lately, so I decided to make something deliciously warm and comforting to cheer myself up!

This bread pudding is so amazing; between the layers of nutella and bread, topped with MORE nutella, some chocolate chips, and a touch of brown sugar that caramelizes to give you a crunch, nothing tops this pudding!
One spoonful of this and my dark cloud was gone! Not that anyone stops at a spoonful ;) Bread pudding is a fairly new dessert to me, but it's quickly become one of my favorites. Though it seems odd, for me, bread pudding is one of those desserts that's for special occasions. I don't mean Christmas, or Eid, or even Birthdays. I mean special occasions where you feel like everything would just be better with a hug but a regular hug just isn't quite cutting it. That's when you make bread pudding and you hug yourself from the inside out :) I was definitely in need of a hug, and I feel so much better after a few scoops of this pudding! Are you ready for some love? Here we go!
