I have a great cookie recipe for you today. Do you like chocolatey fudgey chewy cookies? (I’m thinking of course, who doesn’t?). Well if you do, you are in luck because these are all that and then some. Dark And White Chocolate Cookies with White Chocolate Chips And Snow Caps! This recipe comes from my Double Dark Chocolate Cookies I made last year when I wanted to see how cookies would turn out if you replaced half the butter {Read More}
I’ve been working on updating my kitchen the last few months, going for a fun, colorful, Jonathan Adler Happy Chic inspired look. I “whipped up” (bad pun intended) a new print to hang in my kitchen and figured I would share it in case anyone else wanted a copy. I originally made it in white, but realized that on our just a shade off of from white walls, it didn’t work, so I also made a chalkboard back ground copy. {Read More}
Hands down one of our all time favorite desserts in this house is brownies. A hot version with a scoop of ice cream? A la mode heaven. Add in some caramel and toffee? I think yes. Heck yes! You should probably make these. And you can serve them straight from the pan like this… But I highly recommend topping them with a scoop of ice cream and a little more caramel sauce. I mean if you are going to serve {Read More}
Today I interrupt the posts about cupcakes and cookies to share a very important post that is very personal and close to my heart. Today is the first National Apraxia Awareness Day. What’s apraxia? Yeah, about a year ago, I had no idea either. Fast forward to today, and I am extremely aware of what apraxia is. Why? Because apraxia of speech is a neurological disorder that our beautiful three year old daughter Grace is severely {Read More}

As we head into summer (okay, in Arizona we are probably doing that a little earlier than some), all I can think about baking these days are lemon and lime desserts.

Today I am sharing a fabulous cake that would be great for your Mother’s Day table. This delicious {Read More}
I make a lot of muffins. No, really, a LOT. They are a staple in our home for breakfast and snacks and are hands down my favorite way to pack some whole grains, fruits, veggies and even protein into the morning, while pleasing some incredibly picky eaters. While my daughter could probably eat the same muffin for months at a time, I get bored making the same muffin over and over. This weekend I decided to take the same ingredients {Read More}

Happy Friday! I have two fabulous things for you today, and both include coffee! First, I have a deep, dark and delicious chocolate cake, with a hint of coffee. If you are a chocolate lover, this cake is for you. Dark, rich, not overly sweet, moist, it’s got it all going on. It has a hint of coffee, enough to really compliment the chocolate, but if you aren’t a big coffee fan, don’t worry, it’s not overpowering, I promise. And {Read More}

Well lately I’ve been feeling like I’m in a bit of a baking rut, craving new flavors, something different. Oh my goodness, it turns out I am pretty darn head over heels for the flavors of lemon and lime. They are so refreshing and perfect for summer sweets and treats. These Lemon Cupcakes are sweet, with a lovely light lemon flavor and the {Read More}
