Comfort dessert

Good ol' fashioned homemade chocolate pudding has got to be one of my favorite comfort desserts. Lately I've been craving it quite a bit. I try to switch it up and make vanilla pudding...but there truly is nothing better than a fresh batch of warm chocolate pudding. I use the recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook - which, by the way, is my favorite cookbook. Anything I make out of this book is absolutely delicious. One of the things I love about this book is that I can actually learn about the food I'm cooking as well as learn new cooking techniques. It's my cooking bible!

To make you drool just a little bit....

Funny thing, the recipe says it makes 4 servings, but it always turns out to be 3. I can't figure it out, except that maybe my servings are slightly larger. Honestly, who can have just a small bowl of this stuff. I could eat the whole pot easily!

Chocolate is in love with pink

Red and pink hearts abound in February, the most romantic month of the year. This time of the year can be so bleak and dreary. It's either mild and gloomy outside, or it is sunny and freezing. You just can't win! So to get us in the spirit I am commemorating a month of chocolate and pink hearts with a collection of Crumb aprons. These aprons are sure to inspire you to concoct delicious chocolaty desserts, or maybe make some homemade Valentine cards for the special people in your life. You can find these aprons and more in my Etsy boutique.
