Growing up, mom used to grow her own zucchini in the garden and make this amazing zucchini bread with it. The bread could be smelled throughout the house and brought everyone to the kitchen for mom's latest creation.

I'm going to preface this by saying this is NOT a recipe for homemade crepes. We bought ours from the grocery store because I was curious how store-bought crepes would taste. However, this recipe does include ways to use crepes and you're welcome to make them from scratch!

For dear mumsy's 50th birthday, I decided to make her a Chocolate Almond Cheesecake using our Deep Dark Chocolate Cheesecake recipe as a base. It is FABULOUS!

Once upon a time, I was walking through the grocery store's frozen foods section and happened across this delightful concept called the Sunday Brunch Pizza (or breakfast pizza). One of the breakfast pizzas looked particularly intriguing: apple streusel.

A gathering was upon us and I wanted to whip up something easy but delicious to share with our friends. Thus, the Chocolate Brownie Trifle was made.

It is a delightfully simple recipe that requires very little hands on preparation. You simply need a trifle bowl, brownies, whipped topping, cookie or toffee pieces, and chocolate pudding!

I remember growing up on those hot summer days and getting to have popsicles. But nothing was quite as amazing as those chocolate popsicles called Puddin' Pops!
I didn't realize until fairly recently just how incredibly easy pudding pops are to make! Turns out it is literally frozen chocolate pudding. Yum!!!
So, I bought myself a popsicle mold (but you can also just use an ice cube tray) and got to work!

I have been to a couple of restaurants now that make “Cinnamon Roll French Toast” and have been curious about how to create it myself.  I decided it was time to try it out.  However, it was decided that we must first learn to make homemade cinnamon rolls.  I tested three recipes varying from cinnamon rolls in the frozen food section to totally homemade.  Here is your mostly homemade cinnamon roll rec

Upon deciding that we were going to make Cinnamon Roll French Toast, I needed to find a recipe for tasty cinnamon rolls. I researched for while to find the perfect recipe. Between searching online, through Facebook friends, and my own common sense, I came across a lovely homemade recipe that anyone can replicate! Just give it a try!

One of our favorite places to eat serves these incredible desserts in tall shot glasses and tops them off with whipped cream. I figured it couldn't be too hard to make so I set out to find the ingredients.

I just happened to have some chocolate cake lying around, so I thought I'd try my hand at these cute little desserts in a single-serving size cup. They were incredibly easy to make and would be great for a wedding or dinner party!

Congratulations to Laura P. for winning Casa de Lindquist's first ever recipe contest with a recipe for a Chocolate Raspberry Cake with Ganache frosting! While it was a bit labor-intensive, this chocolate raspberry cake is incredibly beautiful and delicious. 
I couldn't help but make a few changes to the submitted recipe so here's the modified version!  Hope you enjoy!
