Cheesecake Ice Cream- this stuff is great! The addition of the cream cheese to the ice cream makes it so creamy and delicious! I adore cheesecake but I never feel like running my oven for as long as it takes to bake one in the heat of summer. So this […]
Frozen chocolate covered peanut butter banana bites- now that’s a mouthful (but a good one!). Last year, I started making frozen chocolate covered bananas for my family as a quick and healthy summer treat. When I went to make them again this year the light bulb went off- I absolutely […]
These are absolutely amazingly delicious blueberry muffins. Every time I see blueberries on sale my mind goes right to these soft tender muffins. They are not the basic blueberry muffin either- They have a super moist buttermilk muffin base with blueberries , but you also swirl in some fresh sweetened […]
In general, I try to stay away from the processed foods. However, these little treats are worth the occasional wander into the isles of prepackaged food. I have always loved rice krispie treats but this recipe from Smitten Kitchen just takes them to a new level. There is something about […]
Super chewy, soft granola bars loaded with coconut flakes and chocolate chips- super easy and taste amazing! I was so excited to find a great granola bar recipe online that I could easily adapt to our tastes. I was buying the more expensive granola bars with better ingredients for my kids […]
This cake is a cross between a delicious coffee cake and a cinnamon roll. When eaten warm it actually tastes just like a warm cinnamon roll straight from the oven–only without the hassle of working with a yeast dough or the wait of allowing a dough to rise. This cake […]
This is one of those posts that’s more like and idea than a recipe, kind of like one of the first few posts I did for Mexican Rice Bowls. I wasn’t going to post this because of the simplicity, but I figured why not? I am always trying to think […]
I came up with this lemon cake after being inspired by this wonderful recipe for Old Fashioned Hot Milk Cake (and my love for lemon 🙂 ). I have been looking forward to Spring to arrive here in the Northeast and lemon is just one of those flavors that reminds me of spring […]
Sorry this post took more than a couple of days since I posted the perfect yellow cupcake recipe…. but our house got hit hard with the stomach bug this week. So, needless to say, I have spent the past several days caring for sick kids (and myself), doing laundry and […]
Yet another conquest completed………. to find a recipe to make a homemade version of a previously store bought item……… Yellow cupcakes, the perfect accompaniment to chocolate frosting.

I have always loved jello when my digestive system is off- from a stomach bug or whatever. Of course, I sadly gave this up when I cut the dyes, artificial flavors and other nasty ingredients out of our diets. Then, recently, I came down with a serious digestive problem […]
If you are not gluten free, just ignore the fact that these are flourless and make them! If you are gluten free, bookmark this recipe and try it out!! These cookies are AMAZING! They taste like fudgy, soft peanut butter brownies. They are absolutely addicting and this is coming from […]
Here is a recipe for a deliciously moist old fashioned cake. I came across this recipe a couple of years ago and I am sure glad I did. With a couple of tweaks, it has been one of my favorite go to quick cakes since. It is super moist and […]
I don’t know about you but any recipe with the word butter in the title catches my attention. I have always liked gooey butter cakes and cookies but sadly haven’t made them in a while since the recipes that I had utilized boxed mixes. Since I am trying to avoid […]
I am going to warn you now….. These oats are meant to be used as a topping for yogurt or apples or ice cream, etc. However, I make no guarantee you will not be overwhelmed with the urge to eat them by the spoonful or pick at them all […]
Chocolate Chip Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies– wow– say that a few times fast 🙂 ! These are a new take on one of my favorite cookies, Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies. One day it just came to me to try to add the same chocolate chip and pretzel combination to […]
