Inside

Whenever I am having a bad day, I know that there is one thing that can cheer me up, and that is chocolate! The smooth delicious taste of milk or dark chocolate can take a bad mood and turn it into a good mood, so that is why I always try to have some great chocolate recipes on hand!

Why Use Homemade Cake Mix?

This particular recipe has plenty of chocolate to go around, but it is not all chocolate. I have seen lots of recipes for chocolate bundt cake, but most of them use a pre-made cake mix.

While that can be good in a hurry, I like to make my recipes as much from scratch as possible. When I have to consciously think about and see each ingredient that I put into my recipes, I know that they will be high quality. That is why I start with All Purpose Flour to make my own cake mix, followed by a variety of other ingredients. 

This triple chocolate bundt cake also includes chocolate pudding, vanilla, and other tasty ingredients. It is pretty easy to make and everyone that tries it loves it!

This cake takes a little while to bake, so make sure that you plan on at least a couple of hours from start to finish. I promise that it will be well worth the wait!

After the chocolate bundt cake has cooled and you have removed it from the bundt pan, you can decorate it however you want. In order to justify the “triple chocolate” name, I drizzled melted chocolate over the entire thing. If you want – you can just stop there, but I also added some chopped pecans for a little extra crunch.

However you decide to decorate it, there is one thing that you can be sure of – this homemade triple chocolate bundt cake is not going to last for long!

This is quickly becoming a family favorite and one that we surely will be taking to many events with family and friends in the months and years to come.

I would love to hear how it turns out for you in the comments below!

Everyone in my family has different foods that are their favorites. My youngest son loves pasta, my oldest son loves lasagna, my husband loves tostadas, and I love tacos. With that said, there is one thing that we can all agree on – dessert is our favorite – especially when chocolate and peanut butter is involved!

There are some foods that you can really only eat at certain times of the year and for specific holidays, but there are others that are delicious year round, like these Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl Brownies. These brownies are really easy to make and they look great too! The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is something that we all love and we can never get enough of these!

I have made these in the past, but this time I decided to add something extra to give it even more of a peanut butter flavor – can you guess what it is?

That’s right – NUTTER BUTTER cookies! Growing up in Mexico I really had never tried these until a few years ago – but I have to say that I love them and that is why I incorporated them into this recipe. NUTTER BUTTER cookies are perfect to eat alone as a snack, or to use in these brownies, and I am sure that they would be great in other recipes too! You can find them at Walmart in the cookie section.

The basic concept of this recipe is simple – you just put down one layer of the chocolate brownie batter.

Next you add a few spoonfuls of the peanut butter filling, then another layer of the chocolate brownie batter. To give it the distinctive “swirl” look, you then grab a fork or a knife and gently swirl the top layer with the peanut butter layer and then put it in the oven and bake. The end result is pretty cool looking!

You can also add some homemade frosting if you want to – I didn’t do it this time, but the simple recipe is included below.

These brownies are sure to be a hit the next time you have to come up with a delicious dessert to take to a party or other get-together. They are great for any occasion – we are planning on taking some to my son’s next soccer game to share as an after game snack!

What is your favorite kind of dessert? Let me know in the comments below!

One of the biggest adjustments that I had to make when coming to the United States was related with food. Not only is a lot of the food here different than what I was used to, but the whole meal schedule was different too! In Mexico, breakfast is usually the biggest meal of the day. There are so many great breakfast foods in Mexico – like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and more! So when I found out that a common breakfast for my husband consisted of cold cereal and orange juice, I was a little bit surprised!

I always loved breakfast growing up, because I always felt like it gave me a great start to my day and provided me with the energy that I needed to go out and play with all of my friends and helped my imagination to shine! Although I have adjusted to the common meal schedule here in the United States, one thing that I have tried to maintain is having good, nutritious breakfasts that my two little boys actually enjoy eating.

One of their favorite breakfasts is definitely these Sweet Breakfast Crepes – they are so delicious and I always make it a point to have lots of different ingredients for them to add to their crepes so that their imagination can run wild!

Here are some ideas for crepe fillings that your kids will love:

1. Chopped Strawberries
2. Chocolate or yogurt covered raisins
3. Sprinkles
4. White Chocolate Whipped Cream (recipe below)
5. Blueberries
6. Strawberry Syrup
7. Chocolate Chips
8. Caramel syrup
9. Bananas
10. Mini Marshmallows

Today I made these tasty crepes for my boys and let them decide between a few different options – they ended up with strawberries, chocolate syrup, a delicious homemade white chocolate whipped cream (recipe below), and sprinkles.

As you can see, they really enjoyed this breakfast. Of course I had to accompany it with a refreshing Nestle Nesquik breakfast shake – consisting of Nestle Nesquik Chocolate Powder, cold delicious milk, a small amount of extra sugar, and a couple of pieces of ice. This is the perfect complement to any breakfast, and my boys are ALWAYS asking for it!

One of the great things about this crepes recipe is that it only requires a few ingredients and can be made quickly on those mornings that you are rushing to get everything ready. My boys are always so excited every time that I make it because they know that they are going to get some delicious and fun fillings and they love choosing their own.

I love to see their imagination run wild, and I love teaching them the importance of having a delicious breakfast every morning!
