Best Chocolate Brownies
May 25, 2011
Brownies are one of the most popular all time favorite desserts. They are served almost everywhere. You will find them on the table at most parties, displayed on the tray at bakeries, and wrapped in special boxes at your local store.
Brownies are not only baked for the whole family to enjoy but they can also be considered as tasty gift items and give away on special occasion. They may not be as lavish as a multiple layered cake or as sophisticated as brulee, but the simplicity of brownies makes them special. A square of thick, rich, chocolate flavored brownie that softens in your mouth can definitely bring a taste of perfection!

Chocolate Honey Brownies
May 4, 2011
It's Spring! Well, at least according to the calendar. Here in Wisconsin we haven't felt much warmth in the air yet.
Last night on the weather forecast they showed frost and freeze warnings in states south of us. While we were going to be colder, the weatherman said that since we haven't had enough of a warm-up there are no crops in danger, so no need for the warnings here. 🙂
On some of the days where the temperature has gone above 50° I've seen the bees out helping those Spring flowers. They're ready for Spring too. Perhaps this recipe for Chocolate Honey Brownies represents wishful thinking for warmer weather, but they sure sound good!

Favorite Chocolate Cheesecake
April 6, 2011
I enjoy making cheesecakes. Over the years I have picked up a few good recipes. One of my favorites is a Garlic Cheesecake! As you can imagine, this is not for dessert. It's a good appetizer though.
Well, I'm not writing for Garlic University Online so I'm not going to give you the recipe for that cheesecake. Instead, I'm going to give you the recipe for one of my absolute favorite chocolate cheesecakes.
This is a substantial cheesecake with lots of chocolate impact. It's rich and dense. It takes time to make, but the results are really worth the effort.

This chocolate raspberry mousse is easy to make and quite delicious, but it's probably been a couple years since I last made it.
