A tart to brighten your day
Summer is here and that means it is time for everything lemon. Yes…you will see lemons in a ton of recipes over the next few months. I cannot get enough lemon in my life…especially in the summer! A tart … yes a tart Ok now I know these like bars and you can call them that for sure, but they are made in a tart pan so a tart they will be. Can I just tell you how much I love my tart pan. It makes the most beautiful desserts (like this berry tart) and it is so easy to clean, which is always a plus. Check out…

no flour needed in these brownies
I have several friends who are gluten free and I am always on the look out for a great gluten free recipe. These brownies are not only gluten free but no on will ever know they are because they are SOOOOO GOOOD!!! The fudgier the better I am a HUGE fan of brownies. I love almost all brownies (like these Oreo Caramel Brownies, or these Espresso Brownies), and these GF Brownies are no exception. The key (in my opinion) to any good brownie is that they are fudgy. You know what I’m talking about, when you bite into it is almost gooey and super rich. Not only are these brownies…

Blondes (& blondies) really do have more fun
One of my most favorite times of the year is when the Easter M&M’s hit the store shelves. I just love them so much…the colors are so pretty, there is pink involved and it also means Spring is coming and the cold weather is leaving. So to celebrate my favorite M&M’s I decided to make them a star in these beautiful blondies. M&M Fun I have always loved a blondie. They are sweet, light with the perfect hint of chocolate but these M&M blondies are even better than a more traditional version…they have M&M’s in them which makes them AMAZING! To make these super yummy it starts with butter…

you’ve been good all week
I can’t believe the first full week of 2017 is already gone. So what are your New Years resolutions? I have made a few and will share them next week but would love to hear about yours this weekend. If you are apart of the 50% of the country who wants to lose weight or at least adopt a healthier lifestyle I applaud you. I am all about that, but I am also about moderation and enjoying life and these sugar cookie bars are perfect for the moderation and enjoying part. They just make me smile. Sprinkles, Sprinkles and more Sprinkles Sugar cookies are a favorite of mine. I…

Like no Brownie (Pie) I have ever had
Brownies are a favorite in our house. I have made almost every brownie version imaginable. One of our favorites are these Oreo Caramel Brownies and these Pumpkin Caramel Brownies are a perfect option for this Thanksgiving. Oh but wait there is so much more to brownies now. It is Pie time… Pie is a must have at our Thanksgiving celebrations. Do you have pie for Thanksgiving? What kind are a must? Pumpkin, sweet potato, apple? In our family there is always a fruit pie of some sort, a pumpkin pie, and normally a pecan pie (I never said we were very exciting). This year though I wanted to shake things up a…

Are you a cookie, cake, brownie, cupcake, pie or blondie fan? What was that…your a fan of all them? Oh wait, sorry that was me…I LOVE ALL DESSERT!! Many times I have a very hard time deciding, but last week I was craving some blondies…and I decided to load them up with some Fall flair making them perfect for the season. A favorite of The Hubby’s The Hubby loves cookies and brownies, amazing blondies a favorite by default. They have the crunch of a great cookie and the center of a perfect brownie…making them pretty perfect according to The Hubby. Last week I was craving blondies but I wanted to make…

Pumpkin +Caramel = Perfect Fall Brownies
November is finally here and everything Fall is filling our homes and feeds on social media. I don’t know about you but between the political posts and the pumpkin posts that is about all I have seen.

Yep, you read that right…we are making Pumpkin Brownies today. I love baking with pumpkin. It adds so much moisture without all the fat of butter or oil and without altering the taste. If you are trying to lighten a…

It’s still summer
OK…I know. It is September, Starbucks has pumpkin spice latte’s coming out go their ears and halloween candy is popping up at your stores…but guys it is still officially summer!! Fall is does not start for another 15 days and that means we have just enough time for one more summer dessert (that I personally make year round). It’s all about the curd… SO I am a HUGE fan of lemon curd and always have some in my refrigerator, I use it for everything from breakfast to desserts. For me this is a staple year round, it is just so, so good! Now I know the idea of making curd…

in honor of all their hard work
Are you watching the Olympics? I am pretty sure I have watched more rowing and beach volleyball in the last 2 days than I have ever seen in all my life. Of course I have also watched a ton of gymnastics and swimming. I just love the swimming. I have to tell you though, I get tired just watching them. Yes, just watching them on TV I feel as if I swam a 800 fly. Yes that was me speaking swim. Honoring them… I love hearing all the stories about how the athletes got where they are now. Some started at such a young age while others jumped into their sport…
