I don’t mean to alarm you, but that’s not chocolate I poured on my ice cream.
It’s vinegar.
A balsamic vinegar reduction, to be exact.
And you know what? It tastes way better than chocolate with this sundae.
And that’s me saying that. This girl.

Outrageously Fudgy Pretzel Brownies
Call me crazy, but even with all the fresh summer produce jumping off the shelves, this is the combination I’m obsessed with right now.
Chocolate and pretzels.
I’ve been craving pretzels with everything recently. Hummus, cheese, chocolate. (All the major food groups right there.) And just to prove that I am taking very seriously the tragic lack of brownies (my favorite food) on this site, I decided to bake some pretzels into a batch of them for you.
For you, for me… let’s not split hairs about who is benefiting from this recipe.

Coconut Butter Cups with Meyer Lemon Curd
If I’m being perfectly honest, these are deadly.
Not like the “I filled yours with poison” kind of deadly, but rather the “you probably shouldn’t make three test batches of these if you have to be in your bathing suit on a Mexican beach in a week” kind of deadly.
Oh, the things I use this blog as an excuse for.
My mom is definitely shaking her head at me right now.
So yes, this is how I’ve been balancing out my salads lately.

Chocolate Coconut Butter Cups
I am nearly falling asleep at my computer at 9 pm as I type this. I guess that’s what two workouts and a sugar rush will do to a girl. Also, I love my sleep and am 99% certain that my grandpa goes to bed at least 3 hours later than me on most nights.
But I have to hold it together long enough to tell you about these chocolate coconut butter cups. They are the direct result of a little Amazon shopping spree I went on recently. I bought these adorable silicone cupcake liners!
I had to make something fun with them, and was none too eager to get back on the cupcake train after the cupcake-filled month that was March. So I skipped all that cakey stuff and went straight for the chocolate.

Nutella Pizzelle Ice Cream Sandwiches
Do you know what pizzelle are?
Even harder question: Do you know how to pronounce “pizzelle”?
I thought I did… until the woman at the bakery where I bought these made it rhyme with “gazelle.” Pazelle. Huh. Or maybe she was rhyming it with “Gisele”? I’m not sure, but it really threw me for a loop. In my puzzling over the pronunciation, I hadn’t even considered that option. Some googling put me back on track, though, and I think I can now confidently say that an acceptable Americanized pronunciation is “Pete’s ellie.” And yes, all we’re going for is an acceptable Americanized pronunciation, so that you don’t stumble over the word, but can also use it in a sentence without pretentiously faking an Italian accent.
Anyway, let’s get back to the first question. What are the darn things? Well, they’re Italian cookies that look like thin waffles. They’re sweet, usually crunchy, and sometimes dusted with powdered sugar. The ones I bought were almond-flavored, but they are also commonly flavored with anise or citrus.
