Okay, I’m feeling really bad about throwing all those delicious desserts at you lately. Some of you are starting to think I must feed my kids cupcakes, cookies and cakes 3 meals a day. I assure you this is not true. 🙂 We do enjoy a tasty dessert from time to time but we don’t…
My son is almost three. Like most toddlers he is curious about everything. The kitchen is his new wonderland. He loves rummaging through the refrigerator and cupboards and exploring for snacks. Our kitchen is as small as most people’s closets so cooking with more than one person in there is not a simple feat. After some trial and error I found…
My peanut butter and chocolate obsession continues. A few weeks ago I decided to whip this concotion up. Who doesn’t love a peanut butter cookie crust, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup surrounded by moist brownie and a rich peanut butter frosting all in cupcake form? No one, I tell you! Sure, they are rich, rich, rich…
I was trying to think of something yummy to make for my family over Easter weekend because when we are all together it is the perfect opportunity to have an audience to ohhh and awww over my baked goods. Plus, it is more people to actually eat the desserts instead of my husband and I…
Pinterest is my new BFF. There I said it. I love to bake, therefore, I love Pinterest. The ideas for things to make are endless! Like I’ve said before, the problem can be that you never know if the recipe is really good even though the photo looks fantastic. Photography is a funny little thing…
One of my greatest cooking role models was my grandmother. She was a fancy cook – not just a good cook – a fancy cook. Jars or bottles of anything were never allowed on the table; food was always plated and served beautifully; and nothing graced her table without a garnish. And by “garnish” I…
This weekend when family was over, I didn’t just make one dessert but two! The first dessert was the wildly popular Ultimate Pretzel Crusted Peanut Butter Cookie Candy Brownie Bars that exploded on Pinterest! It had every right to light up on Pinterest because that recipe is freakin’ awesome!! That being said, I made another…
We had family stay at our house this weekend and it’s the unspoken word on both sides of the family that I will have something yummy baked for them while they visit. Yes, my cookies, brownies and bars have a reputation and have since I was young. I even owned my own gourmet cookie company before I…
Okay, I’m feeling a teensy bit guilty about throwing brownies and cookies at you lately. It’s just not nice especially if you are watching your figure. Funny thing is, like I told you before, I’m in the middle of doing the Jillian Michael’s 30-Day Shred. As you can imagine, cookies and brownies are not on…
Dear Pinterest, I can’t quit you! I NEED to quit you! My thighs NEED me to quit you! But I obviously can’t. You are an online drug that sucks time away from my work and my life. Good thing you give me things like yummy brownies or it would totally be a one-sided relationship! I know…
