Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
I’ve got another delicious cookie recipe for you today. A buttery flaky shortbread cookie with chocolate chips. Just so you know, short bread cookies aren’t my favorite type of cookie, they are good but most of the time I’d rather have a traditional soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie instead. But as far as short […]

Cream Cheese Danish
After making our new recipe index with a page for each category, I realized (even more than I knew already) that the recipes I make are a little lopsided for certain categories. A lot of desserts and a lot of chicken. Although this recipe could technically be considered a dessert (and I ate it like […]
Applesauce Chocolate Chip Cookies
Do you ever feel bad eaten sweet upon sweet upon sweet, and think about how much butter and sugar you just added to your body? Maybe you don’t struggle with this problem as much as I do. But as someone who is addicted to candy and desserts sometimes I feel just a little guilty about […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two
Sometimes Nate gets mad at me for making dessert recipes because I am usually pretty good at only eating 2 or so cookies at a time (I count my calories everyday, so I can still get my sweet fix without blowing my calories for the day) but that leaves a bunch more cookies to be eaten. […]
Banana Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Swirl
Because I decided to do a one flavor cake for Nate’s birthday - triple chocolate cake - I decided I should make a fun flavor of ice cream to accompany it. Nate and I are both fans of banana flavored things, and of course you know we both love peanut butter. So I decided to make banana […]

Orange Sweet Rolls
I use Google Calendar to organize my life. I have a calendar for my day to day life. I have a calendar for the work events I have to be at. I have a meal plan calendar. I have calendars from the executives that I work with at work. I have a blog post calendar. […]
Cannoli
For Craig’s birthday last year, Aimee and Nate presented him with a beautiful Italian Cookbook all written in Italian. Their next gift to him was a scale with grams because all the Italian recipes used grams in measuring. This past Christmas they gave him cannoli forms. Do you see the trend? Yes, we love Italian […]
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 […]
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 […]
