The Goddess loves this time of year, when the frost is on the pumpkin, the leaves are a riot of color and there’s just a slight chill in the air. It’s soup weather. It’s stew and chili weather. And it’s time to make pumpkin bread! Continue reading

I’m a chewy, fudgy brownie-type of woman. Cake brownies are well, just cake, really. Brownies should be dense and moist and rich. These brownies are all that, but they have the added bonus of coffee and bourbon.

These little oozy, gooey squares of rich, chewy chocolate goodness are perfect for…well pretty much anytime. I’ve been making a non-chocolate based version of these for years. Yeah, alright…I should have thought about this sooner, but I didn’t. Better late than never. Continue reading
