[Boozy Baking] El Mole Ocho Chocolate Cake
Occasionally I get the urge to bake. I almost always have the urge to drink beer, so it seemed almost logical to bring the two together. A quick Google search brings up countless beer cake recipes. I gravitated toward Nigella …
Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Cream Frosting
Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Cream Frosting (Adapted from For the Mommas) I love Nutella. Bananas are pretty awesome, too. This isn’t a holiday recipe, per say, but it is pretty amazing. I switched out the sugar in this recipe for …

Detroit Restaurant Week Preview: Desserts!
Today through Friday, we will feature a few of the desserts being offered during Detroit Restaurant Week, which starts this Friday April 1.

From Rojo Mexican Bistro in Novi.
