Sweet Things
For some reason, I've been craving chocolate a lot it! (no I'm not pregnant! don't even think it!) but I can't get enough of it lately. I showed how I made that chocolate cake for Valentines Day and then for Carl's pie throw down,.("Throwdown" is a cooking contest term for those of you who watch Bobby Flay on Food network would recognize. Carl's office called it that it was pretty funny! )We made chocolate cheesecake. From Scratch. It was super easy and yummy although I still would have sweetened my cocoa a little more and wiped my cream cheese by hand. We got honorable mention!Some of my favorite sites, to get dessert recipes, is Hersheys.com and Bettycrocker.com and foodtv.com of course. Maybe I'll put a link on here and start adding our recipes that we have done and collected from other places. We have a little of both. Not just sweet stuff. Darn food tv!
So here is my top 10 favorite sweet things!
1. Angel Food Cake -plain!no berries no sauce! I can eat it straight!)
2. Pralines and Cream Icecream
3. Cinnamon Rolls/Orange Rolls -my mom used to make us Orange rolls for holidays LOVE them, that's my next thing to learn how to make!)
4. Pumpkin Roll -another family tradition, I think I've posted the recipe on here before around Thanksgiving. Now I make it.
5. Strawberry Cheesecake Shakes
6. Carott Cake! -no nuts I can't eat nuts anymore! and it HAS to be cream cheese frosting!
7. New York Cheesecake -maybe a little strawberry sauce
8.Reese Peanut Butter Bites -the little balls like ReesePieces
9.Boston Cream Donuts-only Krispy Kreme!
10. Chocolate Orange sticks - something passed down from my grandpa. They are like raspberry sticks if you know what those are but have orange filling. Raspberry are the most common?!
Do I have a sweet tooth?! What makes one think so?! HA HA HA! Do you have a sweet tooth like me?
