Tweet What a dreary and humid day it is here in Chicago. 85% humidity now that the rains has stopped. I see a nap in my future. Had a lovely day so far. Ran a few errands including a run to the library which is one of my favorite places in the world next to…
Tweet Let me first apologize if you were unable to get on this site yesterday. So many people were trying to get on – I’m guessing for the Laduree macaroon recipes – that the site crashed. Now she’s up and has more juice to provide you with even more chocolate goodness. Yesterday I diverted from…
Tweet If you used to smoke or are still smoking, studies show eating cocoa and dark chocolate can help fix the damage smoking has done to your body. Everyone now knows that smoking is bad for them and hopefully you have quit. For those of you that have not, researchers at Heinrich-Heine-University conducted a study…

Tweet The dark chocolate rice pudding recipe that I posted not too long ago got a huge response. I thought this recipe even better than the last! The recipe is for the purist. If you prefer variety, you may stir in some slivered almonds in at the very end. It turned out quite nice when…
Tweet Today we continue Chocolate 101! On the agenda today are Types of Chocolate which include information about dark, milk and white chocolate and Storing Chocolate – She is a sensitive one! We will also be looking at a video of another bean to bar maker in the United States called Olive and Sinclair Chocolate. …
Tweet I love finding new chocolate recipes on other blogs. I found this one on Ria’s Collection and tried it yesterday. It’s outstanding! I didn’t have Irish Cream or coffee so I used whiskey (I’m sure my Irish friends would approve!). I, of course, also changed the recipe to signify using unsweetened cocoa and dark…
Tweet This recipe is great for a quick dessert if someone stops by unexpectedly over the weekend or to have on hand just for yourself and the family. It’s quick, easy and full of chocolate. You can experiment with this a bit. I’ve used milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate. I’ve also…
