Seriously Intense Hot Chocolate
Do we really need an excuse to eat chocolate? I don’t. And you don't. Let me share with you a really dark thick and seriously intense hot chocolate recipe.
Spice Quintet Hot Chocolate
So, this recipe is pretty genius, and probaly the best homemade (or store bought), hot chocolate you'll ever drink.The best thing about it (besides the amount of real chocolate) is, that the recipe is not for one serving only. It makes a whole batch. Depending on how big your chcolate craving and cups are, you'll get 6-10 servings out of the recipe. You just take a tablespoon full and stir it into hot milk. Done! It keeps in the fridge for up to a week. With only two main ingredients it's super easy and you can substitute the spices with your favorite ones. Although this spice quintet really sets the tone.

Strawberry Leftover Panettone Milkshake
There's panettone everywhere. Even after the holidays, I still can't manage to keep bread at bay (ominous music plays) Moving on! So, we make do with what we've got, right? Kind of. But yes, stores are still stocked with 'price reduced' panettone loaves. During one of my endless yet glorious grocery escapades I happened upon a pristinely wrapped Pandoro Milano - seemingly, unshaken by the frantic rush of the holidays. It was G. Cova...I look for the price, thirteen dollars. Thirteen Dollars! Are you kidding me? Where was that price tag when I needed it most? Apparently, this panettone is one of Martha Stewart's favorites for making french toast. Enough mind babbling, I'm sure Martha Stewart has fine taste. I say, "You're coming with me." and throw her in my basket. I can't even pick at her on my way home - she's wrapped in beautiful Italian-esque wrapping paper and twine. I speed. Home! I carefully unwrap my loaf as so not to disturb the paper too much and reveal a humble, sophisticated mountain-shaped confection. I slice the top and marvel over the cute star shape in front of me and slowly raise it up to my mouth...divine melt. I see why this panettone is so illustrious. That kind of comfort in your belly is matched by no other (I'll eat those words later) Mom greets me in the kitchen, mouth full, crumbs and all on my face I say, with wide eyes, "You know what would be good with this? Strawberries. Holy Cow, eff that!" I reach for my VitaMix, "I'll show you."
Simplest Strawberry Frozen Greek Yogurt - no machine needed
This is a quick and creamy frozen yogurt is based on Greek (or other) yogurt with no ice cream maker needed. I got the idea from Good Housekeeping but I doubled the yogurt to make it more luscious and creamy. Still very low on the calories. (Just use 1/2 the yogurt if you want to revert to the 70 calories per serving original.) It is meant to be eaten right away before it is completely hard. But if you save some leftover, just let it sit on the counter to soften before serving.

Adapted from the recipe for Kumquat Marmalade in Alice Waters' book Chez Panisse Fruit, I used my favorite white wine as the cooking liquid. It smells amazing.

Salt-Roasted Pears and Apples with Caramel Sauce
I would like to share a delicious recipe for a Holiday snack or a light desert, which I learned while watching the show “Mad Hungry” a few days ago and made it this morning. I did not have Bosc pears and roasted 7 small Anjou pears. They came out perfect and since I was left with all the salt and inspired by the result, I decided to roast 6 small Honey Crisp apples and even 1 Kiwi, which were starring at me from the fruit vase. As you can see in the photos, it is a fantastic and versatile recipe not only for pears. Thanks’ to Lucinda.
Boiled icing (aka Italian meringue)
An old standby also known as an Italian meringue, there are many uses for boiled icing including the Cinnamon Balls we make at Passover (use food52 recipe search to find my recipe). - olinsloan
Vanilla Bean Applesauce
A simple applesauce gussied up with vanilla beans. This apple sauce can be canned using a water bath canner, but it never lasts that long in my house! It does make a really great gift and my in-laws request as soon as fall hits. It can easily be doubled, just make sure to use a very large, wide pan.
Mini Garden Mint and Berry Pavlovas
To the uninitiated North Americans, the pavlova's closest relative would be the meringue ...but with a soft yet chewy centre that melts in your mouth. This is a recipe that has been passed through the generations of Australasians yet one we still argue as to the origins. Whip out a pavlova at a mixed Antipodean event and there is bound to be a lengthy discussion about its birthrights.
Chai spice blend
There is no single formula for Chai spice. it varies from brand to brand & home to home. Indian Masala tea comes in many many flavors and every one of them is deliciously unique. From a simple addition of smashed fresh Ginger root & crushed cardamom to complex blends incorporating a dozen spices.. My preferred method of ginger root & cardamom only gets me so far as a cup of chai, so I cobbled up a mix of 5 spices (inspired by Chef Raghavan Iyers newly launched line of spices, turmeric trail).. While its near impossible to decipher the exact proportions of the spices used in the commercial version, I used the list of ingredients on the package to come up with my own. Its been through a rigorous set of testing on regular spiced chai as well as experiments with hot chocolate , a version of chai spiced shortbread, and my thanksgiving apple and pear pie!. The flavor of the blend is pretty intense and all you need is about 1/4 th of a tsp for a strong cup of chai or chocolate. Classic case of a little goes a looong way. Its not worth making larger quantities unless you're planning to make industrial amounts of tea.
Apple Bourbon Bundt Cake
A hearty spice-filled bundt cake made from grated apples and toasted nuts, then soaked in whiskey syrup, tastes like autumn and is great any time of year. Bundt cake, which is really just like an oversize muffin baked in a fancy pan, is easy to whip up. The booze bath helps keep it fresh, meaning you can bake it ahead and eat the leftovers for days as a snack. You also can serve it, toasted, with cream cheese for breakfast or brunch. If you soak it with bourbon, it will be sweeter and smoother; the rye will make it more tangy and brighter. But any liquor that you like will work, particularly the brown ones, which go with the warm flavors of nuts and spices. A small nip of the same spirit used in the cake would go well alongside it.
