Today I’m once again featuring the crazy/amazing baking skills of my daughter in law Shandi from The White Kitten Bakes! I hope one day I can bake cakes, cupcakes and cookies that taste as phenomenal as they look. But that day isn’t here yet! I adore cooking, but honestly, I’m a baking disaster! I love the way all these turned out. But if I had to pick a favorite, it might be those gorgeous snowflakes! Here’s how you can make the {Read More}
Oh-So-Delicious Maraschino Cherry White Chocolate Cookies
November 4, 2015 By
These cookies are seriously good! I love the combination of the white chocolate and the cherries. Plus, they’re pretty and festive for the holidays! One thing I always love about fall weekends is that they seem to be less hectic and busy than those of summer. I love nothing more than baking and relaxing with a good book. Last weekend I baked up these tasty cookies and enjoyed reading on my new NOOK GlowLight Plus. I’m so excited to have an eReader {Read More}
Simply Adorable Halloween Cupcakes
October 29, 2015 By
I hope these Halloween Cupcakes provide inspiration for your own cute creations! I’m gonna be honest. I’m really not a baker. And that’s an understatement! The motto for my desserts is that they always TASTE better than they LOOK. So I have a few favorites I’ve mastered. Or at least that I’ve made often enough that I don’t completely mess them up. So wasn’t I lucky to get a daughters-in-law who loves to bake and is extremely talented and creative to {Read More}
Oh So Easy, Oh So Delicious: Salted Caramel Brownie Trifle
July 24, 2015 By
I have found my new go-to dessert for entertaining. Easy to make? The simplest… five minutes, tops. Impressive to guests? Yup. Delicious? Check. In fact, Tom officially named it as his favorite dessert I’ve ever made. I’m talking about layers of brownie, caramel, whipped cream, mini chips and chocolate syrup. Yum! I adapted this from a similar dessert over at Crazy Little Projects, where she made everything from scratch (and I imagine it’s quite amazing!). I, on the other hand, didn’t have {Read More}

June 25, 2015 By
I love to eat s’mores WAY more often than I have the opportunity to actually make them over a fire. Thanks to this little recipe, I can have s’mores bites anytime I wish! They are just as amazing, chocolately and gooey-goodness messy as the classic version of s’mores. And they really don’t take long to make! Here are the steps, followed by the recipe. INGREDIENTS 7 whole graham crackers, finely crushed (equals one cup) 1/4 cup powdered sugar 6 tablespoons butter, {Read More}
Walnut Coconut Cocoa Date Bites
March 13, 2015 By
Tom and I are closing in on the end of week three of the Paleo Challenge. I have to be honest… I’m loving it! Surprisingly, I really haven’t felt deprived. But Tom has a little bit. Gotta make my man happy, so today I’ve made him a little treat. Walnut coconut cocoa bites. AND best of all, this treat is paleo approved! Even though it is approved, it is not highly recommended to eat many during the challenge because of the {Read More}
