Dark Chocolate Rum Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream | LemonyThyme.com | #cupcakeday

My Dark Chocolate Rum Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Buttercream recipe was inspired by the most popular dessert on this year’s Halloween Office Party Buffet.  There sat Mark’s picture perfect rum cake, whose aroma alone was so intoxicating co-workers began to stalk the break room pre-party (secretly wondering if they could manage to sneak a piece without getting caught). There’s something sensual about the combination of rum and butter and sugar. Continue reading »

Nutella Truffles

Nutella Truffles.  I didn’t have to think twice when I read this for the first time.  Point me towards the Nutella isle.

Nutella.  A phenomenon of sorts with mass appeal.  Moms love it because it makes breakfast more fun for their kidlets.  Dads love it straight from a spoon.  Bloggers love to celebrate National World Nutella Day and throw no caution to the wind as they exploit this ingredient.  Have you seen 3-ingredient Nutella brownies, mug cakes, pancakes?  It’s crazy!  In a good way.  Here are 8 Things You May Not Know About Nutella.  I’m all in.  Throw Nutella my way and I think we can all get happy!!

Santa Kisses Cookies1

I have a well known weakness for Peppermint Bark.  Completely…I do.  It’s pure magic to me.  I’ve stalked many a Williams-Sonoma store on free sample days.  I’m the one trying to look uninterested as I saunter by the counter….multiple times.  Hmm, what’s this?  Peppermint Bark.  Okay, if you insist.  Don’t mind if I do.  This one is for my daughter.  Okay I’m leaving now.

When Hershey’s came out with their Candy Cane Kisses they brought the essence of peppermint bark to our grocery store shelves.  I embraced that.  Santa Kisses Cookies in the spirit of Peppermint Bark magic. Continue reading »

Swing State Chili {Skyline Chili Inspired}

Today is Election Day and we will enjoy dinner tonight….squarely in front of the television.  We kicked around some menu ideas in honor of this important day.  Should we have a red, white, and blue Americana theme or perhaps good ole’ Georgia inspired southern food.  In the end we decided to focus on the ‘swing states’ who seem to hold the future of the country in their hands.  So in honor of the great folks of Ohio….here is our best attempt at your beloved Cincinnati “Skyline” Chili.
