#WickedRomanceGIVEAWAY Low-Fat Lemon Blueberry Scones

I spent considerable time pursuing the web for a low-fat, low-calorie cookie/cake/dessert I could make for next week's Halloween party at work. It's not the lowest recipe, but it sure sounds delicious! Will let you all know next week when I make the scones.

#WickedRomanceGIVEAWAY Wednesday Regency: Food and Risque

Several months ago I went to the New York Public Library to research through their nifty online database Regency cookbooks. You have to go to one of the buildings, can't remember which one, and the database is available only in-library. If you're interested in this, then it's worth it.

The cookbook I downloaded is from 1802: The Art of Cookery Made Easy and Refined: comprising ample directions for preparing every article requisite for furnishing the tables of the Nobleman, Gentleman, and Trade...

#WickedRomanceGIVEAWAY Seduction of my Proper Wife and ghouly cupcakes

Ghouly Cupcakes from the Food Network Kitchens. Neither the recipe nor the picture are mine.I will say, that after reading the level (easy) and then the directions for the meringue, I'm thinking Food Network and I have different ideas of easy! Meringue, in my view, is far from easy! I bet regular icing would work also...ok, not as fancy but far, far easier. For me at least. Oh! Or Cool Whip (or any whipped cream) Sure, it doesn't have that same slightly boasting quality of 'Why yes, I did whi...

#WickedRomanceGIVEAWAY Devil's Pawn and Cupcakes

The goal of this hop is to talk wickedly naught romances. I'm combining a short excerpt from Devil's Pawn with a delicious (and quick!) Halloween cupcake treat from Food Network. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of fondant (it has no taste) bit doing this with a piping bag seems...messy.

Friday Recipe: Pull Apart Graveyard Cupcakes

Yes, there's still plenty of time until Halloween, but this post is about making the food--and you always need at least a little lead time for that! Unless you buy. Which is cool, too, but not as fun. For the next week, I'll be posting recipes from The Food Network with direct links to the site; the pictures are theirs as well. (Unless otherwise noted.)

Today's recipe is labeled as difficult. Yup. Looks that way! But I'm sure there are ways to get around that and make it much easier...
