This blog is for my fiancee, Robert, who is 1,000 miles away and is always asking me how to make certain things, so he can recreate the dishes I make at home. And for my friends who keep me keep me busy emailing them recipes.

It is a compilation of tried and true, original recipes and new recipes that just look so good I have to try them. :)

Valentine's Day Lovebugs




Follow recipe directions for Oreo Truffles. Refrigerate truffles for 1 hour in between each step to ensure candy coating is firm.

Make a 1 inch oval shape for the body, and a smaller round ball for the head.
Form the body by gluing the head on with melted chocolate (almond bark).
Dip the body in melted red candy coating.
Dip the head in melted chocolate candy coating. 
Decorate lovebugs by drawing a wing line down the middle of the body and spots with melted chocolate candy coating. Draw faces and/or antennas with melted white chocolate.
