simple recipes, easy clean-up
It’s been a while since I made a good cookie, and the other day I was craving Oatmeal Raisin Cookies like no other. I wanted to add some chocolate chips to the mix, but I didn’t have any on hand. {criminal – I know.} I did, however, have some white chocolate chips, and they did not disappoint. I wanted these White Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies to be large and soft and chewy. There is a time and a place for crisp {Read More}
I must have a thing for peanut butter and chocolate creations because they come out of my kitchen frequently. This Peanut Butter Pudding with Chocolate Whip Cream was created out of necessity. I’ve been trying my best to “eat clean” these last couple weeks, and I’ve been doing great. One morning I made an egg white breakfast wrap and had 4 egg yolks left over. I decided my family deserved a decadent dessert for putting up with our new lifestyle {Read More}
At the risk of sounding 5 years old… It’s my birthday week! My birthday is this Friday, and I thought what better way to celebrate than to share some fun “Birthday” recipes all week… Let the party begin!! The other day I was strolling through the grocery store when I stumbled across something completely awesome. A bright pink package of Birthday Cake Oreos. Obviously, I couldn’t resist picking them up. Pink is my absolute favorite color, and… well, Birthday Cake {Read More}

I don’t really feel like I need to describe it more {Read More}
Let’s talk about muffin tops for a minute. Not the kind that most of us women are trying to avoid on a daily basis {or is that just me??}… we’ll save that one for another time. I’m talking about those glorious bakery muffins with crowns of deliciousness bursting out of the muffin cup. How on earth do they get the muffins to rise so high without falling flat? But most importantly, how can YOU make your muffins rise up to the occasion? {Read More}
Is it just me or are you getting sick of winter too? Give me some sun, give me some tropics, give me some Virgin Banana Fosters. Banana Fosters is a deliciously rich dessert that is filled with spiced bananas and walnuts floating in an intense caramel sauce. It’s usually drowned in rum then flambéd to cook off the alcohol, but I skipped the alcohol to make this a family friendly dessert that will surely become a favorite. Don’t worry though, {Read More}

Either way, I know you’ll love her {Read More}
There is a big debate out there about cornbread. It’s either a southern style cornbread or a northern style cornbread. The difference between the two is pretty noticeable. The question is, what kind are you looking for? Southern is very coarse and crumbly, perfect for making into a stuffing. Northern is sweet, more cake-like and a great side for some hot chili. I prefer the sweet kind… can you blame me? Sweet Cornbread is usually made in a casserole dish {Read More}
