BROWNIES! Don’t you just love the sound of the word? When you hear the word brownie what comes to your mind first? Is is chocolate? Dessert? Fudgy? Goodness? Amazing? MUST HAVE (yes I know that is two words)? What about one bowl brownies? The Hubby’s favorite When I hear the word brownie I think of The Hubby. I think he would eat brownies everyday, all day if he could so I am always on the look out for a great new brownie recipe and the easier the better. Not only are these brownies amazing but they are so good…and only take one bowl to whip up! One bowl and done…

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…

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. Well I don’t have anything political to share with you but I do have a pumpkin post for you. Don’t worry though it has chocolate too, so I hope thats ok. Pumpkin Brownies? 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…

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…

I need this Chocolate Pie…NOW
I think I could eat pie everyday, given the opportunity. I love a good creamy filling topped with more yumminess all wrapped in a flaky crust. Doesn’t it just sound so good? Well, if you love pie too you have to try this Chocolate Cream Pie…it is a must make for sure!! Chocolate, please… My favorite pie of all time is definitely a chocolate cream pie. I just love the deep dark chocolate filling paired with a fully whipped cream topping, making each bite OH SO GOOD! For this pie I used bittersweet chocolate. The sis-in-law and I prefer a dark more bitter taste. If you wanted a lighter chocolate you…

celebrate with cookies
The 4th of July is just around the corner (like next week) and these cookies are a perfect way to celebrate!! These are not just chocolate chip cookies? So what makes these so special? Simple, pudding. Yes there is pudding mix in the cookies, making them super moist and tender and oh so good!! The pudding also adds another layer of vanilla goodness giving these cookies something people will remember. Sprinkles everywhere! To make these already delicious cookies even more fun I threw in some sprinkles. Now you could use any sprinkles you have on hand, but I went with red, white and blue for the upcoming Holiday. Not only…
