• Pumpkin Espresso Bundt

    Pumpkin + Espresso makes me a happy girl.  And yes, I know it is only September but in my world it is pumpkin time.  I mean honestly it is pumpkin time all the time to me but I can at least now post it and it seem somewhat “normal”. Pumpkin, please I love pumpkin anything and everything, and I can eat pumpkin anytime, especially this bundt cake.  The pumpkin makes the bundt cake super moist without making it heavy and then with the addition of the pumpkin pie spice gives it just the right amount of warmth in each bite. If you didn’t want to use the pumpkin pie spice you…

  • Espresso Brownie Cookies

    Happy 1st weekend of 2019.  I cannot believe it is already almost a week into this new year.  To celebrate making it through the week I made these Espresso Brownie Cookies.  Now I know they are not KETO, but they are pretty amazing and a perfect treat before I jump back on the KETO train next week. Brownies or Cookies? Do you ever have a hard time deciding between a brownie or a cookie?  Yes?  No?  Well I do…except not anymore.  This cookie/brownie is everything you love about both in one quick recipe.   They are fudgy, rich and super chocolaty with a hint of espresso in each bite.  …

  • Espresso Chocolate Chunk Blondies

    Are you a fan of a good blondie?  Well I am and I especially love them when there is something a little different about them, like some espresso and chocolate.  Trust me these are the perfect little pick me up you need for this week. Not your basic blondie Are you a basic blondie fan or an amped up blondie fan?  Well, for me I am all about the amped up version.  This time around I decided to add in two of my favorites…espresso and chocolate.  Yes, espresso and chocolate. Now I know that not everyone is a fan of coffee anything, or coffee flavored items, but for those that…

  • Pumpkin & Espresso have never been so good

    OK I know Thanksgiving is just a few days away, but I have one more pumpkin recipe that is a MUST MAKE.  This bundt cake will be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving week. Pumpkin, please I love pumpkin anything and everything, and I can eat pumpkin anytime, especially this bundt cake.  The pumpkin makes the bundt cake super moist without making it heavy and then with the addition of the pumpkin pie spice gives it just the right amount of warmth in each bite. If you didn’t want to use the pumpkin pie spice you could use just cinnamon, making it a little more year round friendly. Yes you read…

  • 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 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…

  • Gluten Free has never been so fun

    Chocolate is a must have in my house at all times.  I usually have a chocolate bar, a brownie, peanut butter cup or a cookie to satisfy my daily chocolate need.  For brownies and cookies the fudgier and richer the better for me.  My sea salt caramel brownies are super fudgy but finding a cookie to meet that criteria has been difficult, and I never imagined a gluten free option would give me the perfect chocolate cookie…but I am so glad it did. I have been making gift baskets and I wanted to have a gluten free option in each basket and so I went on the hunt for a…

  • a little espresso pick me up

    Brownies are a HUGE downfall for me!  As I am sure you can tell from my many brownie recipes they are definitely a must have in our family…but I think I have found my most favorite brownie…EVER! Another favorite of mine is coffee and really, really strong coffee (really espresso) at that, so the idea of bringing together 2 of my favorites sounded like a match made in Half (baked) Heaven for sure.  Espresso powder has been used with chocolate for years & years to help accentuate the chocolate flavor but to make espresso a predominant flavor sounded like a must make delicious treat.   My favorite espresso powder comes…
