how to make an oreo crust
i have a confession to make. i cannot make pie crust. i've tried a few times and each time it's turned out horribly. i wanted to make an apple pie for thanksgiving...pie crust fail. i tried to use a "no-fail" pie crust to make some blueberry pie...that one was even worse. sigh. that's why i've never ...

nutella and chocolate hazelnut bark
i really have a weakness for one thing...nutella. i think it all started with the ferrero rochers my parents used to get around the holidays when i was little. i looooved those things. i would savor them and eat them layer by layer (does anyone else do this?!). and my favorite part of the whole ...
