Easter Brunch is one of my favorite things. I think because it is an official sign that summer is finally on it's way. The colors of Easter are pretty and fun. Brunch in itself is FABOOSH because it is served late enough in the morning it is more than acceptable to have a cocktail. After all brunch without alcohol is just a sad late breakfast...and of course there is the chocolate. SO...let's start with THE BOOZE!! I love a good morning Sangria. The key is to keep it simple. A nice …
Delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Coffee Coconut Mousse
I love a few things in life. I love coffee, and chocolate, and...oh yes! I love my kids, and dessert, and also coconut. It's pretty easy to make me happy if a day can somehow involves all these things. We've been trying to eat a healthier diet here at my house, and since cold and flu season is upon us, that means watching our sugar intake in hopes of keeping our immunity strong.

Chocolate Coconut Snowballs
It's a winter wonderland outside my door today and it's only November! This is not a good omen when this much snow is sticking to the ground so early in the season. I'm having visions of Snowmageddon back in the winter of 2007/08 where we received a whopping thirteen feet of snow in Ottawa. Ugh. So needless to say the bitter cold and white fluffy stuff are pulling me into hibernation mode. And when in hibernation mode, I bake. That's why for this month's Life Made Delicious post I'm making the …
S’More Brownie Bars – A Portable Campfire Treat
My kids love s'mores. I, however, am not really a fan of the traditional s'more. I mean I like the idea of them and everything. Graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallow - what's not to love? Overall on a taste level though they are sort of a letdown. A little like sex without the climax. I made these S'More Brownie Bars the other day though and I have to say that when I tried one, I was in love.
