• Berry Swirl Cheesecake Bars

    Cheesecake is always a good idea, but when you swirl it with berry jam… well thats just a whole new level of YUM! OH the Crust… One of my favorite parts of cheesecake is the crust.  I am a sucker for a good graham cracker crust.  There is just something so yummy about a buttery graham cracker crust.   I know you can make it with other crusts but for me I am a graham cracker girl all the way. Cheesecake Time! In my opinion a good cheesecake is rich, creamy, a little tart and a little sweet.   This one is all that and more because I used vanilla…

  • S’mores Brownies

    S’mores are a must make for me each summer.  Growing up we would have them every July 4th at my grandparents farm and I just fell in love with them, and even now as an adult I crave them when it gets hot outside.   There is one problem though, I do not live on a farm and I don’t camp so to still enjoy a favorite treat I decided to make them into a brownie…yes S’mores Brownies! It’s all about the layers I just love the combo of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow.   For these brownies it starts with the graham cracker crust…it is golden brown, buttery and…

  • 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…

  • a S’more isn’t just for camping…

    S’mores are a favorite of mine.  I love the combo of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows…it is summer in a  bite. NO campfire needed… One of the hardest parts of having s’more is they are traditionally cooked over a campfire, or at least a flame of some sort, but the beauty of these s’mores is that you don’t need a fire of any kind. It is COOKIE time! Getting the fun started… Every good s’more is loaded with graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows and now they are mixed into a cookie.  This chocolate chip cookie recipe is balanced perfectly with white sugar and brown sugar.  There is also the perfect amount of butter and salt making…

  • dreams are made of this new pumpkin love…

    Obviously pumpkin is on everyone’s brain this week…and my brain is defiantly no exception.  Really to be honest pumpkin is all I can think about…I just love pumpkin everything.  Now the traditional pumpkin desserts are perfect for your Thanksgiving table but this year I wanted to change things up a bit and create a lighter dessert but with all the best it had to offer.  The first layer is a delicious graham cracker crust, it is buttery and a little crunchy.  Next there is a cheesecake layer that is light with the added whipped cream but still very rich.  Next comes the pumpkin layer that is a wonderful pudding like layer loaded…
