Breakup = Eating Bliss?



Can a decadent chocolate brownie really help is relieving your sadness from a recent break-up? Well, there seems to be a new craze in cookbooks that are coming out with recipes to cure those sorrows.
We all handle break ups differently. Some of us pull out the Ben & Jerry’s and eat the entire pint in one sitting. Others, like myself don’t eat at all. (But of course, it depends on how hard the break up is, doesn’t it?) Even though, I am not one to eat my sorrows away, I just have to share these hilarious books with you. I read about them on Single Edition, in an article called “Bummed About a Breakup? Find our How to Bake Your Way to Bliss“. Not only are the book titles hilarious, so are each of the recipe names. They just crack me up!
Nicole Porter’s book, “The Break-Up Cookbook: Recipes for Singles Who Aren’t Getting Any … Anymore!” features such recipes as:
No Banana (I’m a Lady) Pudding
Knock ‘em Dead Flourless Chocolate Cake
Get the pudding recipe on SingleEdition here! The book soon will be available for purchase on AmazonBorders and Barnes and Noble.
