Blackberry Crisp
This summer I entered a contest and won a box full of goodies from Bob’s Red Mill. I don’t normally enter for these types of random drawings but Bob’s Red Mill products are so good that I couldn’t pass it up. I was so glad to have won some cool products.

Strawberry Banana Pudding

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Molten Chocolate Cakes
Some time ago a friend gave me a cookbook with recipes written by people from a town in Wisconsin where I used to live. I love this cook book! It’s pretty humble but there are so many great ideas. One of my favorites is this simple yet sophisticated chocolate dessert. With just 6-7 ingredients you…
