Hi Chocolate-Cream Pies!
I hope you all liked the Peanut Butter & Jelly Fudge.
Today, I’m stepping away prying myself away from the peanut butter… but not for long! Bright and early next week, I’ll post the recipe for those pb&j blondies. This past week, in between peanut butter posts, I was fixing up the “faves” page, not only adding more recipes to my own faves, but also adding a reader-favorites’ section. From the new page:
These are a few of your favorite things…
For more of your favorite recipes—including fudge babies, single-lady cupcakes, and voluminous ice cream—see my blog’s right sidebar.
Although I didn’t make you Chocolate-Cherry Bomb Oatmeal to a tee, I made something sort of similar- but your creative genius was all there 🙂

I made sure to add a little shout out to you as well, credit goes where credit is deserved hehe
xoxo <3
I have tried sooo many of your recipes, and love them all!!! My fave recently would have to be the strawberry shortcakes pancakes, I made them the day you posted them, and then at least 8 times since!! PLEASE write a cookbook, thanks 😀
I’m working on it! 🙂
Those berry crumble bars will become a favourite with me, as I can adapt them by adding different fruit fillings. 🙂
I think they are all of my favourites…is that allowed? 🙂
I think you are my new favorite person ;).
Oh my YES, Katie! You’re babies are amazing and had to slap my sister away from my bowls of “baby dough” or they wouldn’t have made it to the Christmas dessert table. She was begging me for the tiramisu recipe. I’ve passed along the Samoa baby recipe to many drooling fans and I ate my entire first batch out of the bowl. I was naughty and didn’t offer a taste to my husband as I knew he’d steal it away from me. 🙂
I’m actually making the CC Blondies for a party tonight. The coconut banana frosting is AMAZING! My only flop was the agar agar whipped cream….it was more like thick soup with an odd taste. Any helpful hints? Thanks for blogging and passing along such fun yummies to all of us!
I have absolutely no problems making the whipped cream in the wintertime… but come summertime, it’s very fickle! One day it works, another it doesn’t. I actually haven’t made it in a while because of this. I got frustrated and came up with something new– the volume ice cream. I guess it also depends on what liquid you use. I have much better success with the agar base when made with almond breeze than Silk!
The hot chocolate butter is a big favorite here. I actually bought the vanilla stevia drops you recommended and have absolutely fallen in love! I made your genius blondies but made them into maple blondies and slathered the HCB on the top. Absolutely delish! I even got my husband (who doesn’t like vegan foods) to try the blondie, and he liked it. I was really surprised.
I love the oatmeal trick, too.
I’m going to try making some single lady cupcakes later, and maybe the strawberry shortcake pancakes for breakfast tomorrow, depending on if I can find some good strawberries right now.
I really loved your Boatmeal — especially with peanut buttah! 🙂 Your Single lady cupcakes are outstanding. Your oatmeals are out of this world. You are just so absolutely AMAZING! 🙂
I have been using the voluminous oatmeal recipe since last year (before I started reading your blog, but I think the blog I found it on linked it back to your original recipe).
I have saved a TON of your recipes, but haven’t made them yet (shame). I think my first ones will be cookie dough dip, chocolate cookie pie, berry crumble bars, and much much more.
Your creativity is such an inspiration! Thanks for the awesome recipes!
Oh yeah, plus one to the voluminous oatmeal! Its the only way I ever eat oatmeal anymore :).
Hi Katie! This is just a random post, but I didn’t know where to put it. I read this comment and thought of you and how you don’t like supersweet things 🙂
“Not everyone has the same amount of taste buds.
According to Nicholas Bower, MD, district medical director at MedExpress, the average adult has between 2,000 and 10,000 taste buds. People who have more than 10,000 are considered to be “supertasters” because they taste things more intensely. “Research has shown that supertasters don’t like vegetables very much because they taste bitterness so intensely,” says Dr. Bartoshuk. “They also may find very sweet desserts, like crème brûlée, to be over-the-top sugary.” To find out where you fall on the taste spectrum, Dr. Bartoshuk recommends an easy at-home test: Apply a couple of drops of blue food color to your tongue and swallow a few times. Then examine your tongue’s surface; fungiform papillae won’t pick up the dye, so they’ll look like pink polka dots on a blue background. If your tongue appears to be almost solid pink, then you have tons of fungiform papillae and may be a supertaster.”
Hey Jenn!
That makes so much sense! I am definitely a super-taster, and my dad is DEFINITELY the opposite. I always tell him he has no tastebuds ;). I’ll give him a coconut pie taste, and he says it’s nice and lemony. I wonder why I like veggies then…
Haha and now I’m off to examine my tongue. Look what you’ve made me do! 😉
Heck yes, I try A LOT of your recipes. LOVE them ALL! <3 …. My sweet tooth thanks you too! ….I like your dips and single serving items!
