Piatto Dulce: Chocolate Pretzel Cookies

December 22, 2008

The next batch of tasty treats for the piatto dulce/dessert plate are chocolate pretzel cookies. These cookies were supposed to go to school/work, but they never made it in the building.

Piatto Dulce: Gingerbread Wreath Cookies

December 18, 2008

Last year’s Gingerbread Man were okay, but my decorating (and blurry pics) left me wanting.

Piatto Dolce: Chocolate-dipped Peppermint Sticks

December 16, 2008

Not all items on a dessert plate need to be baked or include a ton of work/steps. In fact, I am a big fan of no-bake. No-bakes are a great way to get in a quick fix, a need to bake. 🙂 Take these chocolate dipped sticks, for instance. They are so easy, it’s almost […]

Cheesy Spinach & Onion Rice Bake

December 11, 2008

casseruola/casserole Okay, so I didn’t mean to sound so depressing the other day. That’s the thing about writing words….reading my thoughts are a lot different that when I express my feelings verbally.
