Thin Mint Mini-Cheesecakes Recipe

thin-mint-cheesecakes-1

Can you handle one more Girl Scout cookie recipe?  I hope so, because I have one more to share – and it’s a good one, too.  The other day I told you about what a sucker I am for cute little Girl Scouts.  After buying ten boxes of cookies from my little niece Sammie, I thought I was safe.  Well,  this morning Mr. SGCC and I were outside starting our spring planting and who do you think showed up.  More adorable Girl Scouts, that’s who.  And they were toting a big old wagon loaded with cookies – lots and lots of cookies.  As they tugged and pushed that wagon up my driveway, their angelic little faces beamed and hope sprung eternal in their eyes.  I froze in my tracks.  I needed more Girl Scout cookies like I needed a hole in the head.    Mr. SGCC was no help either.  He just stood there, mute, with that “deer in the headlights” look on his face.  Oh, yes he did.   My own, personal Perry Mason, who weaves words for a living, was speechless.    So, I did the only thing I could do under the circumstances.  I bought two boxes of Thin Mints.

And, then I took them inside and made cheesecake.  Sigh…   read more >>

Tagalong Crescents Recipe

Friday, February 25, 201116 Comments

It’s that time of year again.  The time when Girl Scouts everywhere literally are everywhere, selling their Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs.  I’m talking about Girl Scout cookies, people.
Yes, the little darlings are out en masse, camped out in front of every supermarket in town, hawking their wares. …

Fan the Flames with a Passion Fruit Souffle with Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce

Monday, February 14, 201124 Comments

Whenever I imagine an intimate, candlelit dinner for two, there are certain foods that are always on the menu, like lobster, oysters, decadent dark chocolate and a fluffy, ethereal soufflé – especially the soufflé.   To me, a soufflé is the ultimate indulgence, reserved for only the most special occasions.  …

Penne al Cioccolato con Acciughe for Your Valentine

Friday, February 11, 201110 Comments

Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is synonymous with chocolate.  It’s the food of love.  Who doesn’t melt a little when presented with one of those precious little heart-shaped boxes on this day when we celebrate love and romance?  But, chocolate isn’t only for the sentimental.  It’s big business too.  …

The Perfect Super Bowl Sunday Treat:  Texas Sheet Cake Recipe

Tuesday, February 1, 201117 Comments

They say “Everything’s bigger in Texas”. I haven’t spent much time there, but if they’re talking about the airports, I’d say it’s true.  Both the Dallas and Houston airports are huge!  I know this because I’ve spent my share of time in each, wandering about and hopelessly lost, as …

Next Sunday is not just any old Sunday.  It’s Super Bowl Sunday!  If you’re anything like me, by kick-off time you’ll have a houseful of hungry football fans who need food.  And it had better be good food too.  Food-deprived, beer-soaked, Super Bowl revelers can be a dangerous thing!  …

If it Aint Broke: Bakers One Bowl Brownies Recipe

Wednesday, January 5, 201136 Comments

There’s an old saying that goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.  I think its meaning is self-explanatory.  I also think that it applies very well to cooking and baking.  Foodies, especially those of us that blog, are always looking for the next best thing …

La Tavola della mia Famiglia:  Brutti ma Buoni

Sunday, October 24, 201022 Comments

One of the things I love about native Italians is that they say what they mean, and they don’t mince words.  Take these cookies, for instance.  They’re called Brutti ma Buoni, which means “ugly, but good”.  Don’t you love it?  These unassuming, delicate little puffs of meringue studded with …

TWD: Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream

Tuesday, August 10, 201029 Comments

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m not a big fan of chocolate ice cream.  Never have been.  I really don’t know why that is, because I love other chocolate things.  I love brownies, chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake. And, I absolutely adore chocolate pudding, especially when it’s homemade.  …
