What is on your menu this week?

This is one of my family's favorite dessert to make on Sundays.  Both my husband and I grew up making it and now our kids love making it too. I posted the recipe here on my blog four years ago, but thought that it deserved an update.  Although there is a cute picture of my little, then six-year-old, daughter holding her bowl of brownie pudding.  Where does time fly? This dessert is truly magical and super yummy tasting.  First you make a brownie batter, then pour "chocolate water" on top.  While baking, the magic happens and underneath the brownies a chocolate sauce is hiding. Super yummy topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or eaten plain.  Don't count on any leftovers.

I made this eclair cake for book club that I hosted last night and wanted to share the recipe with you all.  My family made eclair cake a lot in my growing up years, but I haven't ever made it since I've lived on my own (12+ years).  It is four layers of deliciousness:  buttery crust, pudding, whipping cream, and chocolate.  This is a wonderful dessert to make for a crowd, since you make it in a cookie sheet. I saw a recipe for eclair squares on the Sisters' Cafe blog and wanted to make it.  Their recipe is a little more "grownup" than the recipe that I used when I was younger.  The cool whip and Hershey's chocolate syrup that I used to use are replaced with real whipping cream and a chocolate glaze drizzle. Eclair Cake recipe from Sisters' Cafe and also from my childhood recipe box Crust: 1/2 cup butter 1 cup hot water 1 cup flour 4 eggs Boil water and butter until butter is melted.  Mix (in mixer with wire whisk attachment).  Add ...

These are my new favorite cookies.  I've made them several times in the last few months.  I love cookies that have pudding mix in them.  Especially these chocolate chip cookies with vanilla pudding in them. I posted a while ago about these Death By Chocolate Chocolate cookies that I made using the recipe from Stephanie's Kitchen .  Then I tried these chocolate cookies from Picky Palate (without the marshmallows and pb chips).  I love both these cookie recipes, so I combined them and made up my own version.

I saw these cookies on Stephanie's Kitchen a few weeks ago and added it to my TO MAKE list.  I was excited to see that they have chocolate pudding mix in them.  I love cookies with pudding mixes in them, especially this recipe  that uses vanilla pudding. I made these today and was very impressed.  I was so impressed that I ate wayyyy to many of them.  Maybe I'll exercise twice today. :) You should make them too!  Find the recipe here .
