Mocha Cream Pie

November 23, 2013
Move over chocolate cream pie!  Coffee's got you all jazzed up and turned you into ridiculously delicious Mocha Cream Pie ... with a coffee and chocolate custard filling, inside an Oreo crumb crust, all topped with coffee whipped cream.  It'll make you kick plain chocolate cream pie to the curb, too.


Perhaps I should have used decaf to make this pie.  Allow me to explain ...

Turkey & Apricot Sliders ~ keep enjoying that Thanksgiving turkey!

November 18, 2013
Chock full of chopped turkey, apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, and pecans, these baked Turkey and Apricot Sliders aren't your average turkey sandwiches!  


Well, it's almost Thanksgiving!  That's right, Thanksgiving is next week.  Are you ready to gobble 'til you wobble?  I know I sure am.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... the turkey itself is actually my least favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal.  I'm much more interested in all the yummy sides.  But come the day after Thanksgiving ... now that's a different story.  Then ... then ... I'm all about the turkey leftovers.  I like to make little bitty turkey sandwiches, all slathered up with mayo, on leftover rolls.  It's my favorite kind of turkey sandwich!

Well, maybe until now ...

Whip up beautifully-marbled Peanut Butter and Chocolate Shortbread Bars.  A simple shortbread crust is layered with white chocolate and peanut butter, and topped off with a marbled swirl of semi-sweet chocolate.  They're little bars of pure deliciousness!

Can you believe Christmas is only about 5 and a 1/2 weeks away?  Have you started your Christmas shopping yet??  Well, I have bought exactly one gift.  ONE.  That's it.  But I'm happy to say, it's a fabulous one! ... a personalized, engraved cherry wood cutting board for some foodie friends of mine from the wonderful folks at cherryBLOX.

And guess what!!  YOU could have one, too! ...That's right, if you're the winner of this great cherryBLOX give-away presented by me and my bloggy friend Dorothy at Crazy for Crust, you'll get to create your very own cherryBLOX custom-engraved cutting board as your prize.  How cool is that?

It's almost Turkey Day!  And if I'm being 100% honest, I have to admit that the actual turkey itself is my least favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner.  I'm way more interested in all the creamy sides, extra-delicious breads, and sugary desserts.

But give me that leftover turkey the next day, with some good old white bread in a sandwich, and I'm in turkey bliss.

Now ... mix that leftover turkey with some other goodies, slap it between two layers of crescent roll dough, bake it up, and cut it into little bites?  Oh, now I'm in turkey heaven.

One of my all-time favorite flavors is maple.  Since I grew up in Vermont, that probably comes as no surprise.  I mean, Vermont is, like, practically the maple syrup capital of the world, after all.  And one of my {many} favorite ways to enjoy maple is as a yummilicious glaze on acorn squash.
