Nutella Swirled Banana Bread
The 23rd of February was National Banana Bread day. Although I ended up not having time to make this scrumptious bread until the next day, I still wanted to honor the “holiday” and was pleased to find some frozen bananas in my freezer. For this recipe I started with my basic banana bread recipe, with […]
Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting
Its no secret that I love cooking. I love trying out new recipes and I wish I had more time and more money so that I could try making multiple new recipes every day. Because this is a known fact in my family, whenever it comes time to giving me a gift, like Christmas for […]
Muddy Buddies – Puppy Chow
Muddies buddies are something I remember fondly loving as a child. I don’t think we would make (and eat) them that often, but I remember absolutely adoring them every time we did. This is such a simple recipe, and it makes a good snack or dessert to share. I decided it would be a perfect […]
Monkey Bread
When Nate and I were dating I moved into an apartment close to his. It was a different complex because I didn’t want to be too close in case anything went wrong with the relationship, but close enough that we could visit each other quickly. It also put me close to my university campus, which […]
Homemade Chocolate Caramel Ice Cream
Jan. 20, 2013 – It is 75 plus degrees in San Diego/Fallbrook, CA. That is what happens here. We freeze for our winter of 2 weeks and then summer decides to come visit again. I still haven’t gotten used to it. And after walking around all bundled up because it is only 55 outside then […]
Chocolate Chip Pizookie
Nate and I discovered this cute little place called The Chocolate, and we go often, or whenever we can find an excuse. We order the chocolate chip and peanut butter cazookie, and it has now become my absolute favorite dessert in the whole world. What is a cazookie, or pizookie you ask? Its basically a […]
Scotcheroos
I remember I first tried scotcheroos at a church party, it wasn’t exactly significant, except I remember loving this sweet dessert. I never would have thought of combing the flavors of peanut butter with butterscotch, but with the chocolate too these flavors make a perfect combination. I actually tried making scotcheroos once before, and don’t […]
Butterscotch Bars
I think everyone likes the holiday season for different reasons. Of course we like spending time with family, giving and receiving presents, thinking of Christ, and probably many more wonderful things. But one thing I really love about this season is giving out treats to the neighbors. I still haven’t found something that is “mine”, […]
Peppermint Christmas Cookies
This recipe can only be made with Christmas music playing in the background, the whole mood needs to be set. While baking these cookies I not only dreamed of a “White Christmas” but of the day when I can bake cookies with my dear little granddaughter. She would be the best helper I am sure; […]
Sugar Cookies
This is a recipe that I got from my mother in law, Sandi. My husband grew up with these cookies, for holidays, random events, etc. And this year for an early Christmas gift, my mother gave us holiday cookie cutters. And it made me wonder, why can’t we use cookie cutters for other types of […]
Caramel Apple Pie
When I think of Thanksgiving pie, I first always think of pumpkin pie and then second apple pie. But its strange, cause neither of them are my favorite. But I still wanted to try this delicious caramel apple pie recipe out. And let me tell you, I loved it. Caramel apple pie is WAY better […]
Berry Custard Pie – Berries and Cream Pie
How was your Thanksgiving? We had a fabulous Thanksgiving day spent with mostly my dad’s side of the family. My parents were able to drive up from California with my mom’s mother and a foreign exchange student who lives with them. We went to one of my aunt’s houses for Thanksgiving dinner and spent it […]
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
I know I keep talking about the boutique that I did a couple weekends ago. Its only because I bought so many ingredients for the things I was making and ended up with a lot of leftovers. One of my favorite things I made was white chocolate dipped oreos. White chocolate and oreos are one […]
Jungle Cookies (Cranraisin Macademia Nut White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies)
So Aimee will continue to give you the healthy food and I will post the sweets, or it seems so. I feel like all I make any more is cookies, cake, candy, etc. I do actually cook something healthy every once in a while, it is just that I have had a lot of activities […]
Cookie Dough Truffles
I don’t think I am alone when I say this, when I make chocolate chip cookies (or brownies, or cake) I always have to eat a little bit of the dough. Luckily, I still have never gotten sick from eaten so many bits of raw eggs. Have you ever actually gotten sick from the consumption […]
Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
Happy National Dessert Day! – let them eat cake. My calendar has today Oct. 11, 2012 listed as National Dessert Day. Isn’t that just a wonderful calendar to remind you of events such as National Dessert Day? I think so, any good reason to eat dessert – I mean apparently it is a holiday and […]
