Inspired by the after dinner drink, these rich chocolate cupcakes topped with minty frosting come together as decadent and delicious Grasshopper Cupcakes.
A few weeks ago, my husband ordered a Grasshopper after we’d finished up our meal at The Boxing Room in San Francisco.

On one especially cold and rainy day recently, I treated my kids to warm popovers after school….
Simple, yet addictive, these Rosemary and Spice Candied Pecans are sweet and salty and full of bold flavor.
Pan-roasting pecans takes their rich, nutty flavor to the next level. I love them fresh from the skillet when they’re almost too hot to eat. Chopped coarsely, they’re delicious sprinkled on salad, hot fudge sundaes, or even oatmeal.

These irresistible Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars include a thick layer of lightly sweetened nutty peanut butter filling sandwiched between dark chocolate shortbread and decadent chocolate ganache.
