Imported, 70% Amedei chocolate wrapped in luxuriously creamy peanut butter cookie dough then gets enveloped in a chocolate - espresso cookie wrapper before being baked. It takes some time, and a little effort, but it's worth it! The resulting treat is nothing short of decadent, and insanely rich... tread lightly!
Rich and tangy with no expense spared - a full pound of butter, and a whole cup of cocoa powder blend with 6 eggs and thick yogurt for this decadent treat. It's a good thing it feeds a crowd!
This is an old coffee cake recipe I had written down on a scrap of paper from a Home Economics class I took when I was about 7 or 8. The photo is of the original copy. I can't believe my mom saved this after all these years!
A delicious cran-raspberry punchbowl treat that's safe for kids and dieters alike! It's not overly sweet but is delicious all on it's own. Adapted from Zena824's recipe "Sparkling Red Velvet Punch" (http://www.grouprecipes.com/80341/sparkli

Makes about 7 1/2 cup servings.
These Swedish cookies are a long-time family tradition at Christmas time. They simply melt in your mouth.....
This pasta and spinach roll is very popular in Tuscany due to the high quality of ricotta they produce. Making the rich, eggy pasta by hand is worth the effort here - the store-bought sheets cannot do this filling justice. You can comprimise by using store-bought pasta sauce for topping it, though, if you wish.
*Note* you will need a large pot and cheesecloth for this recipe.
A great way to use up leftover canned pumpkin, this freezes very well and adds a delicious Autumn feel to any pasta you like: tortellini, ravioli or even cannelloni! If you are freezing this, stick it in a big Ziploc so that when you thaw it for use, just snip a corner and it's a pre-made piping bag!
This rustic bread is one of the signature breads at Royal Crown Bakery in Brooklyn and is shaped in the round. This bread also starts out as a really wet dough, around 73% when all is said and done. It takes almost two full days to make the bread, so you have to start the night before with a pre-ferment. After letting the pre-ferment get all bubbly and sour, you combine the ingredients and have what amounts to dough soup.
A Thai-inspired tapioca pudding paired with papaya puree in a sweet and creamy pudding.
Whole grain spaghetti noodles, mixed with red and white clam sauce.
Serving is 2 balls. To prevent the batter from sticking to you when rolling into balls, spray hands with a cooking spray.
This is a very tasty and FILLING salad that can be served as a side dish or as an entrée (2 servings). It's also great as a snack before a workout.
My grandmother's treasured German cookie recipe. I understand the Germans make them for Easter, but we always made them at Christmas with the lebkuchen and the pfefferneuse.
The cookies we make every Christmas, without fail. The smell of them will always bring back memories of childhood Christmases. Definitely not for dieters or diabetics, though!
Spices, sugar & wine all together in a cookie. Soetkoekies are of Dutch origin and apparently have been a favourite South African biscuit-tin filler for many years. Recipe came from an old teacher of mine.
