April 3 is National Chocolate Mousse Day. Now, that’s my kind of holiday!
I decided to re-post my easy chocolate mousse recipe in honor of this esteemed holiday. And, I’m listing a few links to some other decadently delicious sounding mousse recipes swirling around there on the Interwebs.
First, some link love for the following recipes from some of your favorite bloggers: (more…)
Do you know how you’re going to celebrate this Valentine’s Day weekend?
Going out to eat can get pricey — especially on Valentine’s Day. I actually prefer to stay home on Valentine’s Day. I worked in the food industry, so I know Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. It can simply get overwhelming. (more…)
This is one of my favorite double chocolate desserts—pairing dark chocolate cookies with my easy mousse recipe. Mmm! These are a chocoholic’s dream come true. And they’re really easy to make.
My mission with Kitchenability is to present recipes that are easy, accessible, affordable and delicious. With that in mind, when creating the mousse filling for these cookie sandwiches, I opted to make some adjustments to how mousse is traditionally made. Typically, traditional mousse calls for gelatin. That’s not an ingredient most households have on hand. Plus, you have to let it sit for a long time, which can make the recipe really inconvenient.
I didn’t want to go that route, so I created the much-easier-to-make chocolate mousse recipe listed below. I actually made this mousse for my final culinary school practical (a big cooking final) and I got an A! So, that means it’s gotta be good, right?! (more…)
January 24 is National Peanut Butter Day!
To celebrate, I am rounding up a few Kitchenability peanut butter recipes, like my Easy Nutella Peanut Butter Truffles, my Chocolate-Drenched Marshmallow (and peanut butter!) Brownies, my Banana Cinnamon (and peanut butter!) Waffle Sandwiches and my Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats!
I am including the homemade truffles recipe below, but follow (more…)
Did you know that January 20 is National Granola Bar Day? In honor of the occasion, I’m including one of my granola bar recipes below, along with two other gluten free treats!
My best friend has a lot of food allergies and is restricted from eating certain things like dairy, soy, and wheat — to name a few. So, since she’s so limited, we decided to make our own granola bars, fruit roll-ups and rice krispie treats — all made from ingredients she can eat. (more…)
In addition to the usual Christmas cookie suspects, I also like to add some gluten- and dairy-free sugar cookies to the mix each year.
Now, if you’re skeptical, I will tell you: They are actually pretty good! Despite your allergies, you can still enjoy a good Christmas cookie. (more…)
I love eating peppermint bark during the holiday season.
The three main ingredients in traditional peppermint bark are chocolate, white chocolate, and crushed candy canes. For this recipe, which was originally featured on my Parade Magazine blog, I used those ingredients, just in a different way, making a delicious, holiday-style ice cream!
Serve it with some hot fudge and extra crushed candy cane pieces on top. Mmmm… Enjoy! (more…)
Today is National Chocolate Brownie Day!
To celebrate, I suggest whipping up a batch of my Chocolate-Drenched Marshmallow Brownies, which are featured in my cookbook, Kitchenability 101. If you haven’t tried them yet, you must!
They’re a mix of chocolate, marshmallow and peanut butter, and they’re so gooey and good. (more…)
I posted about my favorite Pumpkin Muffins Recipe around Halloween, but wanted to revisit it this week, since it’s also a perfect pre-meal snack or post-meal dessert for Thanksgiving!
Pumpkin Pie is definitely a fall favorite, but save some of those cans of pumpkin and make these muffins. You won’t regret it! (more…)
Homemade apple pie is a Thanksgiving must!
For this pie, I took a recipe from allrecipes and tweaked it to my liking. I used the basic cooking method, but added a few extra things and coated the apples. I also used Honeycrisp apples instead of Granny Smith apples.
Trust me when I say: It was delicious! I hope you give it a try. (more…)
