Oh baby, it is COLD outside! The Dallas area, and most areas in the Mid-west, are enduring what I am unofficially calling ‘Ice-pocalypse 2011′. Around the Evil Shenanigans homestead the temperatures hovering around 15 F, while ice and gusty winds have made travel and work nearly impossible. When I get cooped up indoors during this [...]

I will admit, I am always looking for new ways to eat Nutella. It is probably one of the tastiest spreads out there, and I will admit to occasionally eating it straight from the jar. No, not my proudest moments. Anyway, I have been up to my eyeballs in pies this week so when it [...]

It has been pretty cold here, and I have been pretty busy. I have been busy plugging away on my cookbook and that has taken a lot of my time. So much of my time, in fact, that I have dedicated very little time to recreational baking. So, when I decided to come out of [...]

One particular flavor, the Coconut Curry Milk Chocolate, was astoundingly good. I’m not kidding when I tell you it was the best bar of milk chocolate I had ever [...]

I love things that look difficult but are in fact quite easy. Soufflé is one of those desserts that people assume is terribly difficult to make. I think it goes back to cartoons and movies where someone is making a soufflé that comes out tall and perfect only to have it collapse in spectacular fashion. [...]

What do you do when you have a mango approaching over-ripeness and a half a can of coconut milk? I don’t know about you, but I turn it into rice pudding! Mango and coconut are a perfect flavor match. I love, for example, chunks of ripe mango with some toasted coconut scattered over the top. [...]

I had a craving for coconut the other day. As it happens, I had some coconut in the pantry. I also had some chocolate chips and my mind began working. I ultimately decided on blondies. For versatility, flavor, and general appeal you really can not beat a blondie. Toss in some toasted coconut and some [...]
