Need your chocolate fix? Well, it’s time to get slutty with all your favorite desserts! A chocolate chip cookie layer, followed by oreos, and topped off with a decadent layer of brownie. – – Slutty brownies bring me wayyyyy back to college. I think it was my friend Jackie who first introduced me…when we weren’t eating cookie dough straight out of the tub. Though of course with these you can always snitch some out of the tub while you’re making it. Two desserts for the price of one! Now of course, if you wanna be classy about it all, you can…

For this version I used…

Flaky buttery crust enfolding all the deliciousness of s’mores in a yummy, gooey center! – – I know it was supposed to be cookie week, and I promised you another cookie recipe! But it’s one of those weeks where everything possible that can go wrong does, so I hope you’ll forgive me for another delicious crescent roll dough recipe, and still a dessert! (Check out others like mini cake batter buns or apple pie crescents.) Don’t s’mores just remind you of summer camp and cool summer nights? Because those are the memories it invokes in me. We rarely make s’mores…

A simple recipe of garlicky cremini mushrooms, delicious as an individual side, or perfect to add some earthy depth to any other dish! – – Funny, I’ve come a long way from hating mushrooms.

But I think I’ve found a few tricks to share with you on how I like my mushrooms! The first key tip from me is: Cremini mushrooms or bust. I think part of my issue is with white button mushrooms specifically. Not…

Silky in texture and livened up with red onion, cumin, and tomatoes, here’s a perfect party recipe for when store-bought just won’t cut it! – – You really can’t get much better than a perfectly silky ripe avocado. It’s funny to me as I write this–I used to hate avocados. They seemed pointless to me, tasteless, and a weird texture. But I’ve come to really enjoy their subtle enhancements to dishes I already love. One of the reasons I even gave avocados a chance was cumin.…

Refried beans smothered in salsa, guacamole, sour cream and topped with a layer of melted Cheddar cheese for the ultimate party dip! – – This is my take on a “seven layer dip”. Five layers gives me plenty of delicious goodness, and fits perfectly into a pie plate! Of course it’s completely customizable, so feel free to swap layers or add back some of the others if they appeal to you! Here are my 5 layers: Refried beans (I get mine canned at Trader Joe’s) Salsa Guacamole (get the recipe, or you can always go with pre-made) Sour cream &…
