I’ve stated here on MBA that I don’t consume much alcohol, but I’m totally willing to make an exception for these Chambord Cupcakes. Ya see, I’m kind of a control freak and drinking sort of makes me feel a bit out of control. That and I’m also pretty much sloshed after a half of a [...]

I am not what you would call a hopeless romantic; I don’t swoon over getting flowers or eating dinner by candlelight, although I wouldn’t complain if you threw in some chocolate covered strawberries!

Cheesecake. I love cheesecake. It is truly one of those desserts that I simply cannot resist. I’m guessing it’s the combination of the crisp, slightly salty graham crust paired with the sweet creamy texture of the cream cheese filling. Regardless of the reason, cheesecake equals bliss in my book. Although we will pretty much nosh [...]

I have an addiction to buying strawberries right now, especially the locally grown ones that have been making their seasonal appearance at my fave market. I find the berries from local farms to so much more juicy, fragrant and sweet compared to the shipped in variety.

I don’t normally post beverages on MBA, but it is officially summer and my Raspberry Lemonade Recipe is the perfect way to beat the heat. This recipe came about last week when I had a container of raspberries starting to get a little on the mushy side. I also had a huge bag of lemons, [...]

I adore blueberries…fresh out of a bowl, in my cereal and especially baked into yummy desserts…throw in some lemon and I am one happy girl. Although I love some blueberry goodness, I refuse to pay the crazy high prices I have been seeing at the market. I improvised a bit and used frozen berries in this [...]

My dad of course chose chocolate; more specifically chocolate mousse, which I will post later this week. My brother, Jared being his typical laid back self said he [...]

I am not a huge breakfast fan, most of the time I roll out of bed with enough time to shower and get ready for work. Honestly, I would prefer an extra ten minutes of sleep over preparing and eating breakfast. This comes back to bite me in the butt when I am starving by [...]

Vanilla Bean Waffles With Homemade Blueberry Sauce…

August 7, 2009 19 comments
