A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
Since I didn’t want the leftover brownies from the super delicious cookies & cream Oreo brownies to go to waste (well, I really don’t want them to go to waist either), tonight my daughter and I whipped up some quick and easy individual Oreo brownie trifles. We used the leftover brownies, Oreo crumbs, Oreo pudding, whipped cream and a little bit of the left over buttercream (because really, anything is better with buttercream!). I whipped up the pudding in the {Read More}
This is my favorite pumpkin muffin recipe. I’ve played with it for years, finally finding the perfect mix of ingredients to make a yummy, moist and flavorful pumpkin muffin, or pumpkin muffin top, that is also low in fat, and pretty darn healthy. Made with whole wheat flour, oat bran and flax seed meal, they pack a nice nutritious punch, yet still manage to be yummy enough that they are a huge hit with my ultra picky eater. As {Read More}
Let me just say this now… these are to die for. My mom made these a few years ago, called them Cookies and Cream Brownies, and they instantly became my favorite brownie ever. I know people have been putting chocolate frosting on brownies for years, but as much as I love chocolate, the vanilla buttercream on a brownie, oh my word. DELICIOUSNESS. You could certainly make your brownies from scratch, but I’m one of those people that grew up on {Read More}
In April our youngest daughter will be turning one, and I guess it’s time to start thinking about her first birthday party. I think every first birthday is super special (heck, every birthday for that matter – I mean I’m always up for cake!), but Grace’s feels a bit more so. Grace came to our family through the miracle of open adoption. Anyone who has dealt with infertility or been on the adoption journey knows it’s a long and emotional {Read More}
Happy Friday! I had planned to make my favorite pumpkin muffins today for the blog, but after three stores and not a single can of pumpkin to be found, that off until next week. Note to stores, if you are only going to carry one pumpkin product, please make it actual PUMPKIN, not pumpkin pie mix. I know, it’s a wild idea, carrying the more versatile product, but I’m crazy like that. Anyways! So many yummy things on other food {Read More}
One of the main reasons I bake is to share it with others. I love to give baked goods as gifts, and find they are almost always very well received. I bake for holidays, birthdays, special days at school, special events and for no reason at all. In a time where money is tight for everyone, and we often just can’t afford to give some of the gifts we want, I think something baked with love, and packaged up cute, {Read More}
Last week my daughter and I were watching The Best Thing I Ever Ate and I was mesmerized by the giant dark chocolate cookies from Levain Bakery in New York City that Rocco DiSpirito was going on and on about. They looked like giant fudgey chocolaty deliciousness. I have not been able to get them off my mind (trust me, I’ve tried). I had to replicate these cookies with some form of a copycat. I am so glad I did. {Read More}
Happy Valentine’s Day! This morning my daughter went to school with plenty of Valentine’s treats in hand. Unfortunately here in AZ the kids can not take ANYTHING homemade to school to share (such a bummer when you have a mom who LOVES to bake!!!). Though I guess as a mom of a child with food allergies (all nuts) it probably is for the best to always have labels available, but it’s not nearly as fun. However there are no {Read More}
I’m not Bakerella (Queen of the Cake Pops), but I whipped up some cake pops at my daughter’s request for her birthday. I have to be honest, I think I prefer Oreo truffle pops a bit more, but my daughter was mighty happy with these, and she is the birthday girl. Here’s how to make cake pops… Easy ingredients – a cake mix (and what you need to make the cake), a can of frosting, chocolate, sprinkles and sticks. Make {Read More}
Let’s dip more things in chocolate! Today it’s chocolate covered marshmallows and chocolate covered rice krispy treats. YUM! This morning I started making cake pops for my daughter to take to her dance studio to celebrate her birthday, and one of her friends happens to have a gluten allergy. So I needed a gluten free alternative to cake pops, and two great options are marshmallows and rice krispy treats. Both can be dipped in chocolate and put on a stick, {Read More}
This may be one of the most amazing cakes I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I’m in awe! Gorgeous (and it looks super moist and yummy as well). It’s a challenge I may have to try, though not so sure I’ll get to it before this Valentine’s Day.
When I bought Wilton Whoopie Pie Pan on a whim the other day, I kind of felt like I may have thrown away a few bucks, as I had no intention of making whoopie pies. Oh was I so so wrong. This is my new found holy grail of cookie pans. I am way to flipping excited about this pan, like abnormally profess my love in front of everyone excited. I may have even run out and purchased the Heart Whoopie {Read More}
