Lately I have been working 7 days a week, but now that it’s Christmas time I finally have some time off and the opportunity to be lazy until 3 o’clock.
It’s glorious.

I made a Basil Chocolate Cake with a Parmesan Sour Cream Cheese Icing and topped it off with some pine nuts and grated parmesan cheese. This is also one of the best things I’ve ever eaten – SERIOUS FOODGASM….
I will apologize for the lack in posting over November, but my guilt has inspired me to venture into new styles of cooking and recipes! So to start off my blogging redemption month I present these delicious dumplings!
