Well………… how nice that ‘Date Night Dinner’ is the day before Valentine’s Day…………I made this cookie last weekend and allI can say is, delicious. It has some of my favorite things………chocolate, raspberries, almonds……….and more chocolate. Bonus, it only serves two, so no leftovers…….wait!!!!!……. maybe not a bonus. Anyway, it was super easy to make, tastes like it took a lot of effort, and I think it looks like a million bucks.

So after you have served your Poor Mans Lobster (shameless plug)…….impress your sweetie with this cookie……it’s meant to be shared……..pssst it doesn’t have to be Valentines Day to share this with your sweetie 😉  Continue reading “Chocolate Raspberry Cookie”

Happy Hearts……..it’s almost Valentine’s Day! A day of hearts and romance and of course sweets. You really cannot have a Valentine’s Day celebration without something sweet. So, instead of the big red heart filled with “gamble” chocolate………you know the one where you aren’t sure what is on the inside until you bite it and then yuck…………I always got the one that had mystery filling, you know the one where you really can’t decide what the flavor is, but it’s off, and all you really wanted was the caramel or the vanilla buttercream.

Save yourself that horror and make these Red Velvet Truffles, then you know what the filling will be and you can be the “Queen”……or “King” of hearts. If you like red velvet cake these truffles will be right up your alley. They have that cakey cream cheese filling and are covered in a candy coating that is the perfect sweet for your sweetie!

After we posted the Poor Mans Lobster Recipe………..which I know you all will be making for Valentines Day, our conversation was still about the food we served at Waldo Stubbs.  It was such a large part of people’s lives, not only the place, but the food. Several readers ask if we had the recipe for Hamburger Soup, which was served every Wednesday along with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It was the most popular soup at the restaurant.

Well, we did not have the original recipe, but after much brain-storming, we think we have recreated the recipe. For those of you who remember the soup try it and let us know if we succeeded. If you have noooooo idea what we are talking about, just try it and you’ll know what all the fuss is/was about! Continue reading “Hamburger Soup”
