I always looked up to her as a kid, and I continue to…	1 vote 408 views
	Veganizing Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Battle Goes On by Beth M. Veganizing Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Battle Goes OnI've previously written about my battle with veganizing chocolate chip cookies, and I am sad to report, the heartbreak continues.

	Lazy Cookies for a Lazy Weekend by Beth M. Lazy Cookies for a Lazy WeekendIn honor of the Labor Day weekend, it is important to remember the season and do as little as possible, particularly because the first hints of fall are a reminder that full-fledged holiday baking is not that far away (did I really say that?

	Being Fancy on a Budget by Beth M. Being Fancy on a BudgetI apologize for the back-to-back theme weeks; anyone who knows me will likely be surprised by this, seeing as how in the areas of thinking of themes and executing them, I'm pretty weak. When I was planning my wedding, I didn't know that you're supposed to pick colors, and even once I was clued in, I still…	2 votes 634 views

But I think homemade truffles might be just that.As I think this blog has made clear on a fairly continuous basis, I just cannot get enough of chocolate. How so? The summer I gave up chocolate, I lost 40 pounds. Well, there was the whole diet and…	2 votes 636 views
