Tajin Chile Lime Seasoning and Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread

2018/03/28 By Melinda 3 Comments

Tajin Chile Lime Seasoning and Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread: whew that’s a mouthful. I’m addicted to this not too sweet combination of dark chocolate swirled with a subtly spiced banana batter, the result is tender and flavorful without veering too far into dessert territory.

Choc Shots- easy hot chocolate shooter or toddy

This not, however, the sort of ‘recipe’ you should try if you want to get things done. Heat+Chocolate+Booze=snuggle up on the couch and listen to the rain smack against the window panes, light a fire, put […]

Chocolate Sorbet- no dairy, no ice cream maker

Chocolate Sorbet- no dairy, no ice cream maker, no problem. The best vegan or dairy free desserts are the ones I make in spite of that. Fresh fruit is obvious but chocolate? Ice cream? But somehow I fell down an internet rabbit hole and landed in the land of aquafaba, which is fancy talk for […]

Blood Orange Chocolate Soufflés

Blood Orange Chocolate Soufflés

Light and airy with ribbons of dark chocolate swirled in citrus. A soufflé baked in an orange, perfect if you don’t happen to have ramekins lying around the house. Perfect even if you don’t know what a ramekin is because these aren’t hard to make, the most difficult part is getting the orange out of […]

Cardamom Vanilla Pudding Popscicle with coffee and chocolate

  This began with a late night craving for vanilla pudding and, after a shaggy dog series of steps, evolved into some mighty fine layered popsicles.
