Lemon Sheet Cake
When Spring gets here I always start to crave lemon treats. I’m not sure why because growing up in FL with a lemon tree in my backyard, the lemons were usually ripe late summer, fall. However, because of said lemon tree, we had lemon juice in our freezer all year round so if I am…
Chocolate Valentine Cake
Valentine’s Day and Chocolate go hand in hand. If it is chocolate you crave for your sweetheart on this special day of love, look no further. We love Valentine’s Day here at the Hartlines – with a last name like that, it really is the perfect holiday. I love making it special for my family…
Carrot Ginger Cake
My very favorite kind of cake is carrot. If I am going to eat a piece of cake, it needs to have some good substance. Plain old vanilla or chocolate just won’t cut it for me. I love carrot cake so much that we chose carrot cake as our wedding cake. As a culture, we…
Gingerbread Cake
This cake was a popular dessert in my house growing up. It was easy to make and we always had the ingredients. I would whip it up for our Family Home Evening treat on many occasions. It is best topped with whip cream. I have to say, my new favorite way to eat this cake…
Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Some recipes make me very nostalgic. This is one of them. It makes me miss my mom. Her hand written recipe, memories of winter mornings when she would have a fire going (yes we had an actual wood burning fireplace in South Florida), waking up to the warm cinnamon smell. It will be 19 years…
Pumpkin Spice Cake
Why is it that September arrives and it seems like we can’t get enough pumpkin? Cookies, cakes, milkshakes, pies, lattes (not for me), hot chocolate, truffles. . . The list goes on. I can’t say that I am any exception. With 16 pumpkins decorating my house and 10 more in the garden I am determined…
Chocolate Sheet Cake
Confession – we do not call this Chocolate Sheet Cake at our house. We call it Staci’s Sheet Cake. This recipe comes from my sister-in-law, Staci. She made it once, for a family event and it was so good I asked for the recipe. She got it from one of those cook books that your…
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…
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…
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…
