Chocolate Covered Cherry Cheesecake | Magnolia Days

Chocolate covered cherries have a special meaning to me. They were one of my dad’s favorite candies. He did not have them often and it was usually for the holidays. I could count on seeing a box of them when I visited my parents at Christmastime. I really do not care for those candies. It [...]

Attention chocolate lovers! I have a cake recipe for you. How does five, yes, five types of chocolate sound? It’s rich, indulgent, and incredibly chocolate-y. Warning: It will call out your name at all hours of the day and night. Calls it, whispers it, and doesn’t stop. You might get a little distracted and find [...]

December 2, 2012

Who is your favorite celebrity chef? Television and cooking shows have certainly given some chefs widespread popularity. Some I could watch anytime and others not so much. I watched The Food Network almost every day after I became a Domestic Goddess. I saw many shows several times over. I learned a lot and was inspired [...]

November 11, 2012

What to do for holiday gifts? That was a real dilemma for me years ago when I worked in a big office. I had about 20 co-workers and everyone exchanged gifts. I was on a tight budget and did not want to give some cheap-o thingy. I searched the stores and had no luck. Then it occurred to me [...]

German Chocolate Cake

September 27, 2012

What a great big cake! It was so tall, the cover for my cake plate was too short. I had to tape the cover from my Tupperware cake taker to the stand in order to take it to my mom’s house. We were celebrating my brother’s birthday and this is his favorite cake. I have [...]

Time for some ice cream! I had to get in another batch before summer is over. I cannot believe how quickly summer went by. It seems like yesterday when I was preparing for the season in the garden. Soon the hot days will transition to cooler ones when fall begins. Until then, the days are [...]

The Just-Right Brownie

March 20, 2012

Sometimes you just want a good old-fashioned brownie. A simple one without loads of marshmallows, frosting, sprinkles, or anything else on top. Chocolate is the highlight and the texture is just right. They are moist but not fudge-y or cake-like. A homemade treat for any occasion. These are the brownies that fit the bill. The [...]

Chocolate Pecan Torte

February 21, 2012

Chocolate Pecan Torte is my mother’s favorite of all my desserts. I first made it years ago when my uncle from Germany was visiting. I wanted to make something similar to the cakes and tortes found in a German konditorei (cake shop). The desserts there are not as sweet and rich as here in the [...]
