This is one of those don’t-judge-a-book-by-its-cover type of desserts. It’s hard to make a Cool Whip/pudding dessert look elegant, but what it lacks in style it makes up for in taste. It’s one of those desserts that sneak up on you, where you think you’ve only had a few bites, only to realize…
Peppermint is one of my all-time favorite flavors. In fact, when I go to Starbucks, 9 times out of 10, I order a peppermint mocha (except now, when they charge me more for it because it’s considered a “holiday” drink). And peppermint, when paired with chocolate, is one of the most…

My wonderful old roommate, Katie, introduced me to this recipe eight years ago, when we were first teaching. (It was both of our first “real”…
Yesterday I had a bad night. Replaying it in my head, however, I could see it as a wonderful romantic-comedy movie. Here’s what happened in my head: A slender woman leaves work, enduring a rainstorm as she tries to get to her car. She’s in a hurry, as she’s late…
