Chocolate Caramel Oatmeal Bars
I love chocolate, that is no secret. I love chocolate and caramel, also not a secret (why would I keep those facts a secret?) What I don’t love, is caramel getting stuck in my teeth. Don’t worry, this recipe does not have that kind of caramel! Also, while I am disclosing chocolate facts about myself,…
Carrot Cupcakes
Spring means carrot cake right? Or at least Easter means carrot cake! If you ask me, carrot cake is acceptable all year long. My kids make Andy and I a carrot cake every year for our anniversary in September because our wedding cake was a carrot cake. I LOVE ME SOME CARROT CAKE!! Does your…
Candied Nuts
I am a sucker for candied nuts. It’s so hard to walk by the stall at the mall that is making them with the cinnamon aroma filling the air without stopping and buying some. Whether it is almonds, walnuts, pecans, or a mixture, I’ll take it! This recipe is simple and fast, done in under…
Mint Truffles
As I have stated before, I love all things chocolate and mint. My love affair began with the mint oreo duo when I was pregnant with Beau. I craved grasshopper milk shakes. There was an Arctic Circle just down the road from our house so it was easy access when the craving hit. I have…
Peanut Butter Fudge Balls
It is that time of year when I can’t resist a chocolate ball. Oh wait, that is all the time! I realize that I already have a recipe for peanut butter balls on this website. Those peanut butter balls are more like Reese’s Pieces. These are more of a peanut butter flavored fudge as you…
Cinnamon Sugar Cookie with Browned Butter Caramel Frosting and Caramel Drizzle
Well, if the title of this is a mouthful you bet the cookie it describes is a delicious mouthful. This is a beautiful, elegant, tasty cookie prefect for a special event. As the temperatures get colder, all I want to do is bake! The warm oven and delicious smells are like a warm blanket. The…
Pumpkin Spice Truffles
Are you a fan of the Oreo truffles everyone makes at Christmas? I am! My whole family loves them. Since we love them so much, I decided to make a fall version. They are equally as good. It is SUPER easy. You have no excuse not to make these. And guess what? You don’t have…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Pumpkin Cremes
Fall is upon us. It feels like that anyway. Even though officially it doesn’t begin until the 21st, the beginning of September is always when I get out the Fall decorations. After a long summer, all we want in this house is Christmas! Since September is still too soon for Christmas decorations, we settle for…
Ice Cream Dessert
It’s summer, it’s hot, everyone wants a cold treat. Are your kids making weekly trips to the grocery store for more popsicles or ice cream? Mine are – they don’t last long when it’s 90+ degrees out. I’m not complaining. I love summer and anyone who knows me knows I’d rather be hot than cold.…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…

Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
