Guinness Chocolate Cake & Bailey's Buttercream by Katherine Martin

I personally call this an "Irish Car Bomb Cupcake" - after the popular American Beer Cocktail, but whatever you call it, these cupcakes are amazing! The dark chocolate cake is dense, but still smooth and the filling of Bailey's ganache makes it divine... and don't even get me started on the Bailey's Buttercream! If I could, I would…

Spinach Wonton Ravioli by Winelady Cooks

I was inspired by a recipe I saw in a magazine. Then I saw Giada on the FoodNetwork recently use wonton skins. Her tip to make sure there are no air pockets when sealing the ravioli made this recipe a success. I hope you will give it a try.

Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood

I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered.

Roasted almonds with Quinoa, Flax and Sunflower seed by John Spottiswood

This is a great, healthy snack that we had up in Park City this week. We all munched happily all week, and got so much more nutrition from it than we would have from most packaged snacks. Super easy to make and beautiful too!

Lizzie's Granola by Micheline

I saw this recipe on The Chew TV show by Chef Michael Symon and decided to try it as it looked delicious and healthy. I was not disappointed, it is really delicous, healthy, crunchy, tasty and is highly addictive. I put it on top of yogourt or with milk for breakfast. It is great as a snack. A MUST TRY RECIPE. The recipe can be…
