Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
Posted by Tracy | Filed under desserts & sweets
This month’s Flavor of the Month theme was chocolate, which I thought was perfect for February (and well, I thought it was perfect anyway because I love chocolate)! I wanted to share a recipe that I adapted from one I found on Hershey’s website a couple years ago, because whenever I’ve served it, it’s always [...]

Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner
This eggplant parmigiana was inspired by my favorite Italian restaurant. Hubby and I went there on a date together recently, and I decided to try their eggplant parmigiana.

I know the Super Bowl has come and gone, but I made this for the party we went to and it was just too good not to share. The recipe is a combination of one a friend gave me a couple weeks ago and what was already in my mind, and I’m really pleased with [...]
HBin5: Chocolate Espresso Whole Wheat Bread
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breads & pastries
For this month’s HBin5 recipe, I decided to bake the chocolate espresso whole wheat loaf. I’ve never made chocolate bread before, although I have made brioche with chocolate ganache. I’m a big fan of enriched breads, so I enjoyed this one very much. And while I can’t post the recipe, I took step-by-step photos as I [...]
