When you have a craving for something with a little bit of depth but still crammed full of dark, sweet chocolate, give these lovelies a try.
Weekend Projects®
This is where things get fun. These are recipes that take a day or two to make, whether because of resting or marinating requirements, a few more steps, or just plain ole extra time because, well, they just taste better that way. These are great recipes to make with the family and to introduce kids into the kitchen.
Apple Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
An irresistible and tender, sweet and creamy, loaf of fall goodness. A slice of apple cinnamon bread a day, isn’t that what they say?
Easy Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Crisp-on-the-edge, gooey-in-the-middle, stuffed-full-of-chocolate, and gluten-free through and through, these cookies are perfection.
Semolina Gnocchi ~ Gnocchi alla Romana
This sexy, simple gnocchi is all Roman La Dolce Vita, made with semolina flour and not potato. See for yourself how seductive it can be.
Apple Cider Caramels
The 8th wonder of the world? These insanely satiating caramels are made simply with apple cider, sugar, and spice.
Dark Chocolate Gelato
Sweet, but not too sweet, and chocolatey (extra chocolatey, actually) gelato is smooth, silky, and rich. This sweet treat is for real chocolate lovers.
Braised Brisket with Red Wine and Honey
Sweet and tangy and fall-apart tender. That’s what we think of this crowd-pleasing braised brisket that makes us go weak in the knees.
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Reason number #456 to love summer? This luxuriously decadent yet relatively, marginally, healthful chocolate zucchini cake. Seriously.
Paella
Paella, the classic Spanish dish, is given the full treatment here. You don’t need a paella pan to make this paella recipe, either. A Dutch oven will do.
Homemade Tomato Paste
Never again tussle with that teensy tin can that always contains too much or too little paste for your recipe. Not with this mellow, caramelized homemade conserva.
