S’more’s for EVERYONE…don’t worry no fire needed
Summer may be coming to an end but there is still time for a fun summer treat…S’mores!!! Don’t worry…no campfire needed but you still get all the super yummy goodness of a traditional s’more. S’more fun for all I am a big fan of a s’more. I grew up eating them all summer long at my grandparents anytime we would have a bonfire on their farm. Well now I live in a subdivision and there is not really an option for a big bonfire, but I have really been craving a s’more…so I decided it was time to whip up some S’more Bars. Even better I can introduce my niece…

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…

a new chili night…steak chili
Growing up in Texas I have had my fair share of chili. The traditional chili with beef (no beans) and loaded with spices, turkey chili, white chicken chili and of course chili with beans…but sometimes you just have to take a favorite to the next level. Just trust me Ok now I know you might be shaking your head at me and asking “why go and mess up something and make it weird” but trust me this chili is everything you love about your favorite traditional chili, only elevated! It is loaded with tons of spices (some that are a little surprising) and big chunks of meat making this a…

hippity hopping & some bunny bait
Easter is just a hippy hop away (get it…a bunny hops) & that means it is time to break out some of those fun Easter treats and this bunny bait is definitely one of my favorites. This super quick treat is perfect for all your Easter baskets, teacher treats, neighbor treats or just a fun yummy for the kids. A treat for everyone The beauty of this little Easter bunny bait treat is that you can use almost any combo of candy that you like. This time I used robins eggs, plain M&M’s and sprinkles with popcorn and pretzels…but you could use chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, mini chocolate caramels, mini peanut…

a flourless cake like no other…
Spring is coming and it is time to start thinking about fun desserts and this Flourless Chocolate Cake is a must make!! No Flour Needed I have always been a big fan of flourless chocolate cakes, anytime it is on a menu I will order it (unless there is something caramel) but I have never made one at home. With Spring coming it is the perfect time to make this super decadent treat. Now I know there are more traditional desserts for Spring like carrot cake, cupcakes, or maybe a fruit option, but for me it is all about chocolate (with a little kick). Amping it up a bit One of my favorite additions…

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),…

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…

Pumpkin in the morning
Hello Fall…you know what that means…it is PUMPKIN time!! I have to say the beginning of Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Bring on the pumpkins, yummy foods and cooler weather!! A match made in pumpkin heaven… Over the next few months you will see pumpkin recipes everywhere, for everything so I thought why not start with the first meal of the day…MUFFINS (I mean breakfast)! I love pumpkin bread for sure but pumpkin muffins are my favorite. They are even better when loaded with cream cheese and chocolate. If you frequent starbucks (like I do) I am sure you have seen their pumpkin bread, cookies, scones and…

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…
