With the summer heat at its peak, I’m ready for the cool and crisp fall weather to arrive. With crimson and gold autumn leaves abound, I can’t help but spend more time outdoors. And with all that walking and hiking, a girl needs some food to replenish her energy reserves! That’s where this dark chocolate peanut butter drizzled s’mores trail mix comes in….
I had a few extra tangerines lying around the kitchen, so I decided to make tangerine cookies! It was the best baking decision that I have ever made and these sweet treats have quickly become my new favorite cookies.
I wanted to capture the bright flavor and energizing scent of tangerines in each bite of these cookies, so I added the zest and juice of tangerines to the cookie dough. The result was a soft and chewy cookie that was scented with the sweet fragrance of freshly picked ripe tangerines on a sunny day.
The delicate taste of these soft cookies reminds me of a dessert that would be served at a fancy tea party. “Would you fancy some tangerine cookies with your cup of tea, my lady?”
I hope that you fall in love with these delicious tangerine cookies!
-If you have a mixer, use cold butter to cream the butter and sugar together. That way you do not have to chill the dough before baking.
-If you do not have a mixer, use room temperature butter to cream the butter and sugar by hand. After you mix all of the ingredients together, you must chill the cookie dough for at least an hour or else the cookies will not bake properly.
Grab a delicious white chocolate raspberry kefir popsicle, sit back, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life….
One of the best things about camping was sitting next to a crackling campfire, surrounded by the grand beauty of Mother Nature. All thoughts of spiders and bears vanished once it was time to make s’mores underneath the glistening night sky.
I will never forget the first time that I tasted a toasted marshmallow- the perfectly charred exterior that blanketed a gooey, pillowy soft interior was a simply magical combination. The marshmallow alone was amazing, but when it was smothered in chocolate and sandwiched between graham crackers, it was heaven on earth.
This s’mores milkshake is made with vanilla ice cream and toasted marshmallows and has a thick layer of rich fudge on the bottom. I rimmed the glass with dark chocolate ganache and graham cracker crumbs and topped the milkshake with another scoop of ice cream.
This is the most delicious milkshake that you will ever taste! Josie made me eat steamed greens afterwards, but this s’mores milkshake was totally worth the splurge!
-You can substitute greek yogurt for the sour cream. However, sour cream gives it a smoother texture and adds just the right amount of tang so that’s why we used it in this recipe.
I’m a truffle-aholic. And my love for raw cacao transcends the dimensions of space and time. I find myself suddenly becoming poetic when I see the jar of raw cacao sitting on my countertop each morning. Oh raw cacao, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

Things just got a little interesting in the ETG kitchen. I’ve been reading a ton of amazing cookbooks lately, and now I’m determined to become a top chef. Goodbye, boring vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Hello, kumquat ice cream! I want to play with the big kids now, and I’m looking at you, Daniel Boulud.

Candied kumquats are awesome. Why do we need them in our lives? The answer: just because.
1. Because they are absolutely addictive. You can eat them straight up like candy- we’ve tried it. The flavor is too delicious and complex to even describe in words- initially sweet, then an explosion of citrus in the mouth.
Tanney: “It tastes like an orange lifesaver, but a thousand times better.”
2. Because they are cool. Who else has candied kumquats in their lunch box? Only the cool kids….
