A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
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}
I have always thought of myself as a chocolate girl. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate, right? 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}
Can we talk for a minute? About an issue that seems to have many people in the food blogging (and food loving) community up in arms lately? Recipes & Photos. Sharing versus stealing. Photos being posted, reposted, blogged and shared, without proper credit. Yes, that topic. This is a topic that I try and stick my head in the ground and ignore and pretend that it’s not there. Truth be told, I actually make a pretty big effort to not {Read More}
I’m still on that salty, sweet, tart, totally yummy margarita inspired recipe kick. And let me tell you, this Key Lime Margarita Pie might just be my favorite combo of those flavors to date. This pie not only tastes amazing, but it’s oh so easy to make. I’m an Arizona girl, so I am all about no bake desserts once the triple digits hit (which would be today)! It’s funny. If you asked me if I loved lime, I’d probably {Read More}
I have a great giveaway for you today from the folks over at Pick Your Plum. How would you like to win a $100 Target Gift Card for yourself and one for a friend? I think yes!!! And when you enter if you let them know that Love From The Oven sent you, I could even win one as well (hey, it’s a Target gift card, there’s no shame in some self promotion on that, right???). This is super easy, {Read More}
I’m getting ready for a busy weekend wearing my “dance mom” hat, so I needed to whip up something that is delicious, full of whole grains, has some protein and tastes good enough that my dancing daughter will be more than happy to start her day with it (extra point if it travels well for mid-day snacks). Muffins for the win! Peanut Butter Banana White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins! I wasn’t completely sure how this combo of flavors would work {Read More}
Spring brings a variety of things to Arizona. Spring training baseball games. Heat. Allergy attacks. Cinco De Mayo. I’m particularity fond of the last one on that list, Cinco De Mayo. Let’s see… yummy Mexican food, margaritas and delicious desserts. Sign me up for that one! To prepare for Cinco De Mayo, I’ve been looking for fun new recipes to try. The Dulce de Leche Tres Leches Cake on Kraft’s website sounded like a great one whip up. {Read More}
Can I interest you in a taco? How about a dessert taco? A chocolate dessert taco? Yes, I think that sounds like a good idea. A quick and easy homemade chocolate taco shell that you can load up with your favorite fillings! Let me tell you, these were downright delicious. The idea came from a recent copy of Cooking Light Magazine. Unfortunately most magazines that come into this house just collect dust and end up getting donated for projects at {Read More}
Another fun margarita inspired treat today that’s perfect for Cinco De Mayo parties, spring and summer get togethers or just any random Tuesday. Margarita Cupcakes! Sweet, salty, tart and yummy, all together. Sounds great to me! I added a tequila glaze to these that you could omit if you like (or make with something other than tequila) and topped them with a yummy lime frosting. These start out with a vanilla or white cake mix, which is a great base {Read More}
I’m not much of a drinker, I never really have been. I usually only drink on that rare occasion that I get out of the house to go out to dinner without the kids, which is starting to feel about as common as leap year. But when I do, my drink of choice is always, and I mean ALWAYS, the same. A nice, frosty margarita, with salt. I love margaritas, such a happy fun drink and you get salt (yeah, {Read More}
Sometimes I sit down and plan out what I’m going to bake and share here on the blog. Other times it just sort of jumps into my cart at the store, and that’s exactly how today’s treat happened. When I came across the new Jet-Puffed Mallow Bites Chocolate Brownie Marshmallows at my local Target, clearly I had no choice but to make Triple Chocolate Brownie Rice Krispies Treats. I mean the marshmallows basically told me to do it. Rice {Read More}
I always like to do something fun for birthday breakfasts. And since we pretty much see cinnamon rolls as the greatest breakfast food ever, I usually end up with some sort of celebratory cinnamon rolls. For my little one’s birthday this weekend, I decided to kick up my typical ‘sprinkles on the top’ thing and go all out. Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls! Yeah, that’s totally not a bad way to start the day. Add some cute little flags or candles, and {Read More}
