Nutella Fudge with Sea Salt
Get ready, get set, prepare your appetites (and waistlines)! I hold the firm belief that chocolate is a deliciously effective healing tool, which is based on years of personal research & testing. Assuming my research goes undisputed, this recipe could probably bring world peace and a spiritual calm the world has yet to witness. I have been a bit skeptical of all the desserts popping up that have sea salt as an ingredient, but to all the naysayers - you will want to give it a go, trust me. The below recipe is...

Whoopie! Pumpkin Cookie Style
Another success - pumpkin cookie whoopie pies! So successful that I didn't get to take a picture of them before they were gone so I borrowed the picture above from the wonderful world of google images. I used my favorite pumpkin cookie recipe (in the post below) for these and debated between a few recipes for the filling. My first instinct was to use the marshmallow fluff recipe I found, but read a lot of reviews that it was much too sweet. I knew a cream cheese frosting filling would work well with the pumpkin...

The Infamous Carrot Cake
This was my first attempt at Carrot Cake, had I known it was 8/10 people's favorite cake I would have been making it long ago! The recipe for the cake is below, but I used Paula Deen's recipe for the frosting (will post later) thanks to a recommendation from my Aunt Catherine. She was definitely right, an amazing frosting recipe by Ms. Deen! :) Also by recommendation of the Carrot Cake Connoisseur (Richard) I used a recipe that incorporated crushed pineapple...I know, it sounds bizarre and otherworldly,...

Chocolate Mousse
I made this quickie recipe the other night before the Super Bowl so I had something to cheers with when the Giants won! ;) It's super fast (faster than it may initially seem) and has a really light texture with a bang of chocolate flavor. I never tried making a mousse before this blog...I guess it sounded like so much energy for a frou-frou dessert. Well, I'll tell you one thing, this is going to a staple in the dessert section of my cookbook from now on. I would probably pair it with fruit if serving...

Lemon Citrus Cupcakes
So I used this recipe to make a cake for my ex's 30th birthday and it was a huge hit. I wanted to make new memories with this recipe as well as change it up a little so I made cupcakes instead (yeah, I know, living on the edge here). I personally think it's better as a cake but it was still a success in these delectable miniature forms. If you choose to make cupcakes with this recipe, I would suggest using a little more butter in the icing and not putting much icing on the cupcakes as it is RICH. The cake itself is...
