Baked Peaches With Caramelized Sugar and Mascarpone Honey Cheese

   How's everyone doing? I came home late from work tonight and had the sudden urge to...bake! I was inspired by this recipe from Joy the Baker, but given that I don't like apricots and usually prefer to bake/cook things that only take 5 minutes, I tweaked the recipe a bit. Basically I used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I used a slightly underripe peach (the cheese and sugar are too sweet for a ripe peach plus I like that extra crunch) and baked it at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes. I also mixed a spoonful of mascarpone cheese with a tiny bit of honey. The result...


    Happy Tuesday everyone! Thanks for reading my blog. :)

Food Obsession: Nutella

   I've recently rediscovered Nutella. I tried it twice when I was a kid and liked it but never really went crazy over it. Lately, however, I've been spending a lot of time with my younger cousins/siblings. Can you imagine what being around young adult males does to your diet? I'm pretty good about what I eat. I've got a sweet tooth and I enjoy chocolate chip cookies just as much as the next gal, but I usually stick to fish and fruit. I study Dietetics so I'm usually pretty careful about what I eat. When my cousins come home with McDonald's or KFC I never touch that garbage. But Nutella on the other hand...


 I've discovered the perfect combination: Nutella and honey wheat pretzels. It's soooo bad for you! But that's what desserts are for, and let's face it - Nutella is not breakfast, it's an indulgence. :D Terrible for the hips but great for the soul. Top it off with a glass of cold 2% milk and you're set. What's your food indulgence?
