a bundt cake to remember
Valentines is one of those Holidays that not only celebrates the love of your life but it also celebrates dessert. Most typically chocolate desserts are on the menu, but for The Hubby chocolate is not what his heart desires. He loves caramel anything so I thought to bring two favorites together. Caramel & Cake. Can it get any better? Caramel & Bundt = Perfection This year I decided to make a bundt cake. I just love a rich & buttery bundt cake and when paired with caramel it becomes AMAZING!! I also love how pretty this bundt cake is. Without any topping at all the cake is already pretty, especially when you use…

chocolate cookies for the chocolate lovers…
There is just something so sweet about a thumbprint cookie. Growing up my mom would buy the shortbread ones with the cutest little chocolate center, and then sometimes she would make a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate kiss in the center so for this Valentines Day I wanted to make a chocolate cookie version. Chocolate, please I am all about chocolate anything and this chocolate cookie with a chocolate kiss in the center is a perfect chocolate treat and an even more perfect treat for Valentines Day. To make these cookies decadent I used dark cocoa powder for added richness, buttermilk for a little tang and tartness (which I love in a cookie),…

Brown Sugar + Buttermilk = YUMMY Pie
Thanksgiving is in 4 days. YES, only 4 more days until it is TURKEY time. Now I know you probably already have your menu set, but you might want to rethink the dessert table for this super simple, but AMAZING Brown Sugar Buttermilk Chess Pie. Pie like no other Do you have a favorite pie from childhood? You know that one pie that someone special made, or one that you always got a particular restaurant if you were “good”. For my mom that pie is Buttermilk Chess Pie from Furr’s Cafeteria. My mom grew up in Brownfield, Texas. It is a small town in West Texas not too far from…

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…

a twist on a sugar cookie
I love cookies. Chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, brownie cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies…really ANY cookie. A few weeks ago I decided to bring 2 of my favorites together into one delicious cookie and make a Peanut Butter Sugar Cookie. A little something for everyone Each fall The Hubby takes some of his customers little yummies with calendars from his company. This year he wanted cookies to give out. He asked for his favorite chocolate chip cookies (recipe will be posted soon) and also for a peanut butter cookie. Well I couldn’t give him 2 traditional cookies, so I decided to change up the peanut butter cookie a little, don’t…

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…

Cheesecake in bars + another favorite
If you were to ask The Hubby what dessert he would want he would say chocolate chip cookies or cheesecake. If you were to ask me I would say anything chocolate…yes ANYTHING chocolate. So last week when I was craving something sweet I decided to bring together two favorites into one…Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars. Two in one? Yes…cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies all in one bar for a dessert everyone will love. The cookie batter is a perfect balance of semi sweet chips and dark chocolate chips. I use both as I think the balance is perfect with the richness of the cream cheese filling. If you do not care for…
