Strawberries & Cream Upside-Down Cake

Monday, June 20th, 2011

The first time I tasted this recipe I was at a meeting and as soon as it touched my mouth I immediately thought of my hubby. He loves strawberries and would rather have a simple dessert like this rather than a fancy layered cake with lots of decorator frosting any day. So I decided that […]

Margaret’s Fruit Dip

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I know I already posted a fruit dip recipe, but this one got such rave reviews that I had to post it also. After all, one can never have too many creamy ways to fatten up delicious, healthy fruit, right? So this recipe comes to you from my aunt, Margaret. Not Aunt Margaret, just Margaret. […]

Peanut Butter and Brownie Trifle

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

I made five different recipes this weekend for my family’s annual reunion. All of the recieps were gone in a flash, but this particular recipe was gone faster than a flash. Seriously. I had brought the dessert in and put it in the fridge while we ate lunch. After lunch, when everyone was fixing desserts […]

Easy Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

About a month ago on another blog, I saw a recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread and it just sounded so absolutely delicious to me! I have no concerns about working with yeast, but was in such a hurry to make this and since I didn’t have some of the ingredients on hand (based off […]

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Oh my heavens, this is probably one of the most delicious things that has ever come out of my oven! You all know about my crazy obsession with peanut butter and chocolate desserts, right? When I saw this recipe, I knew right away that I just had to make it. Unfortunately I saw it about […]

Cinnamon Sugar “Danish”

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Variations of this recipe are all over the place, mostly in old cookbooks that I got from my grandmother when she moved. I went to visit her one day and she had a box full of cookbooks sitting in her garage and said she was fixing to take them to give away. My goodness, my […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Are you sick of dessert recipes yet? No???? Well, here’s another one then! We leave for Boston again in just a few short days and I’m trying to avoid going to the grocery store and leaving unused groceries here while when we head out, so I’m using up all the stuff in my freezer. Which […]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

I won’t deny it. I’m wholeheartedly a chewy cookie person! Don’t give some crunchy dry cookie! Give me the real deal…a chewy, thick bakery style cookie that is melty and gooey! If you fall into the same category as me, you’ll love these little squares. The other day I was in a hurry and was […]

Creamy Fruit Dip

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

In this photo once again, you’ll see those yummy Louisiana strawberries. Can you tell I’m a bit obsessed? All winter long I went without eating my favorite fruit because they were so dang expensive, and now that the local farmer’s market has had them I just can’t get enough! When I was doing Weight Watchers […]

“Consider Yourself Warned” Snack Mix

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Catchy name, right? My smart little brain came up with that one all by myself because the title of this recipe says it all…one bite of this delicious, crunchy, ranchy (yes, that’s a word…at least in my world) snack mix and you’ll be forever unable to stop yourself from grabbing “just one more” handful. My […]
