With just a few days left before the holidays I’m running around more than ever. Hopefully you aren’t as chalked full as I am. *Went to bed at 5am “last” night (but really this morning). Why you ask?

I love orange and chocolate together. I also love Ina Garten’s lemon yogurt cake. I thought why not change it to orange and add some chocolate. Changed the recipe a little but it’s all good. No really, it’s good. Like hide it so others don’t get to have any good. :) Give them lemons instead. :P Orange Chocolate Chip Yogurt Cake 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1 … [Read more...]
