simple recipes, easy clean-up
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 may be on a peanut butter and chocolate kick. Can you blame me? It’s only the best flavor combination out there. I bought these Cadbury mini chocolate Easter eggs a while back with intentions on making something sweet for the blog. They sat on top of my fridge for over a week while I racked my brain on something awesome to create. They had to sit on top of the fridge because if they were at eye level, they {Read More}
We need to talk. Ok, maybe I need to talk and you need to listen to me rant. What is up with kids and balloons? It’s like it has been programmed into them since they were mere infants to go completely and utterly berzerk whenever they see balloons. Jumping up and down, arms waving all around, screaming at the top of their lungs, “BALLOOOOOONS!!!” My husband just has his birthday last week and to surprise him when he got home {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}
I’m a sucker for impulse buys. They get me all the time at the grocery store with their clever little displays of chocolate bars conveniently placed at the check out stand. It doesn’t end there. I can recall days when I was 100% sure I needed, no… NEEDED, the “Flex Belt” to effortlessly sculpt my abs while I sat on the couch and ate chocolate bars. My husband would chase me around the house while I was frantically trying to punch {Read More}
Sometimes I feel like I have a little old Mexican lady living inside of me. I crave Mexican food. I crave it A LOT. There is nothing better than a warm, soft and tender flour tortilla. It may sound like a lot of work to make your own tortillas, but it’s not. It’s super simple, and totally worth getting out the flour. In fact, you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry needed to make some authentic flour tortillas {Read More}
I am so excited to introduce you to one amazing blogging friend today. Her name is Jaclyn and she has a phenomenal blog over at Cooking Classy. Her beautiful blog is full of mouth-watering recipes that will surely keep you coming back for more. I wish I could have brought her and these tasty Ginger Cookies along with me on my family vacation to Disneyland… but she refused to squeeze into my suitcase. 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}

I’m back again with another pumpkin recipe, and this time I have mashed two of my favorite desserts of all time together. Pumpkin Pie and Pound Cake! Then I made it extra special by whipping up a batch of salted caramel sauce and drizzled it on top. The pumpkin yogurt pound cake is not too sweet by itself, so the caramel really hits that sweet tooth in all the right places. The cake is the perfect blend of dense and {Read More}
