Pizzookie

One of the best desserts in the world is a Pizzookie. Just look at this wonderful goodness:

This is from Firehouse Pizzeria, and I highly recommend it. But, if you are not going to be in Logan, UT any time soon, you can make your own at home. There is a wonderful invention called a "Skookie" that allows you to make these cookies, brownies, and pizzas in personal portions.

It might be good to cure the iron before you use your Skookie, or your food will have an interesting after-taste. But, after that, enjoy!

Where it all began

As my life partly revolves around desserts (eating, making, sharing, viewing, comparing, etc.), it was suggested (by someone much older and wiser than I) that I create a blog to share what I have learned with the world. Hence, here we are--deep in desserts.

Perhaps the most stressful dessert experience of my life was trying to make desserts for my wedding reception. As a starting post, I thought I would share the results:



Cream puffs, brownie cups, and jell-o trifles (among other things). Can life get better? I submit that it cannot.

And, of course, there was the beautiful cake (for which I cannot take credit...except for asking the most talented chef, and my personal food hero, to make it):



Hopefully you, too, can find the joy of being deep in desserts.
