Keto Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin anything is my downfall, but a really great pumpkin bread is my MOST FAVORITE fall treat. Time for Pumpkin, people I love to use pumpkin in baking. It adds so much moisture to cakes and breads without a lot of extra fats, carbs or calories. I even add it to my coffee sometimes for a little extra creaminess and something special….my own homemade PSL. For this recipe pumpkin is the star and it helps to create one of the best pumpkin breads I have EVER had. A little extra crunch To add a little something extra to this amazing pumpkin bread I topped it with spiced walnuts. Yes,…

Salted Caramel Banana Pudding
So I have a secret… bananas are not my favorite. I don’t like the taste, smell or texture. I rarely bake with them, I don’t like to be around someone eating them and I NEVER buy them…unless I am making this Salted Caramel Banana Pudding. It is ALL about the pudding The pudding is really what sets this banana pudding apart from other ones. It is super rich, creamy and decadent. The secret to this pudding is something you might not expect…it is sweetened condensed milk. Yes, you read that right, sweetened condensed milk. It adds that little something extra, that little bit of unexpected. To amp it up even…

Strawberry Cobbler
I found myself in quite the situation yesterday…there were a ton of strawberries in my refrigerator that I had to use.. I had planned on making a strawberry dessert for Easter, but due to some family stuff I didn’t get too. Now I had to figure out something yummy to make with them. Cobbler is was! Was craving cobbler… As the weather gets warmer, I do live in southeast Texas so we are warming up down here, all I want are fruit desserts and cobbler is always at the top of the list. Growing up peach cobbler or blackberry cobbler were my favorites but once when I was in college…

A new way to sundae
Confession time…I never once had a traditional strawberry shortcake until I was in my 20’s. Growing up my mom and grandmothers made their own version of “shortcake” with pie crust. Yep you read that right…pie crust. It is all about the crust My dad’s most favorite dessert is crust and strawberries. It is really as simple as it sounds….it is pie crust topped with chopped strawberries. The key is the super flaky and very tender pie crust, and how we cut it. Trust me this will change how you think about pie crust! Double duty crust recipe My MeeMaw and Mom have been using this recipe for both these…

Homemade Ice Cream has never been so good (& easy)
Summer is officially here and it is ICE CREAM TIME!! Honestly it is always ice cream time in my world, but especially in the summer. I mean just look how refreshing it looks…it is the perfect summertime treat!! Homemade and OH SO EASY! Growing up my dad would always make homemade ice cream for every get together we had in the summer. Way back then he used one of those old fashioned ice cream makers where you had to sue rock salt and it seemed to take FOREVER (at least to a kid it seemed like forever)! Now I use a much smaller machine and it is done in…

Flan & Cake…really? Ok, I know what some of you are thinking…flan and cake together? YES…flan and cake together is a perfect treat.

Pistachio fluff?? Yes, please
Growing up there is one side dish that I always remember being on almost every Holiday table…Pistachio Fluff Salad. I also remember that I was never a big fan of it (I didn’t like anything green as a kid) but I knew that everyone else LOVED it). Fluff…yes please!! As I was thinking about our family Easter dinner this year I kept thinking about that green stuff that everyone seemed to love, (& my brother asked for it) so I decided it was time to make it. Now as I am sure you have realized a lot of childhood memories are a little distorted being that they are from…
