I’m on the road today. We’re heading to Aspen, Colorado for the weekend to attend a wedding. I’ve never actually been to Aspen so I’m a teensy bit excited to spend some time there….and maybe see a celebrity or two vacationing there as well. Hopefully, I’ve got my nose in the book The Help because…

Sinfully Rich Brownies (shhh…from a box mix)
I have no problems using box mixes. There, I said it. They are my go to when I need a quick dessert. Or when my intended dessert fails miserably and I need something FAST! Like recently, when I spent two hours making cookies that sadly only made it to the garbage can. All two dozen…
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes
These pancakes taste like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I think I’ve said it before, but I’m not so much of a breakfast person. Unless of course, my breakfast tastes like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (they happen to be a favorite). Then I’ll take a stack of four please…..with some milk. And…
Taffy Cookie Truffles
Several years ago, my friend Kellie introduced me to Oreo Truffles. She made them for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding reception. We are talking about lots and lots of Oreo Truffles. When she shared the recipe with me I couldn’t believe how something so easy could taste so good. I mean, those things are dangerous. …
Fourth of July Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Pops
What are you guys doing to celebrate the 4th of July? We usually spend it in Denver with my husband’s family, go boating with their friends, hit up Water World (the best water park ever), and of course, enjoy fireworks. This year though, we are heading up to a friends house in Huntsville, Utah. …
Chocolate Cheesecake Bars
I thought I’d share these quick and easy Chocolate Cheesecake Bars before we take off for Lake Powell. I’ll be gone for a week! These are very similar to my Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars, I just used a chocolate cake mix rather than a carrot cake mix. And they are topped with semi-sweet chocolate…
Chocolate Chip Cookies. The Best.
Everyone has a chocolate chip cookie recipe they claim is the best. This, is mine. They are big. They are soft. They are chewy. I’m in deep trouble every time I make them. Can’t. stop. eating. What I think separates these cookies from other contenders is the use of Crisco, dark brown sugar, course salt,…
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies
You know what today is? A lousy, rainy, cold day. It’s after noon, my baby is napping, I am still in my sweats, and have yet to shower. I might as well bake up some cookies, park it on the couch, and call it a day. I might have to squeeze in…
Amazing Brownies
We had a pretty non-traditional and small Easter Dinner with some of our friends yesterday. I didn’t bake a Ham, or make any appetizers (not even deviled eggs), and didn’t have an assortment of desserts to choose from. We didn’t even have any Easter Candy! Gasp! (the Cadbury Mini Eggs I bought earlier in the week surprisingly…
The Best Chocolate Cupcakes
My little guy turned one last week! One year has never gone by so fast. Does time kick into turbo once you have kids or what? Anyways, my husband’s parents made a last minute, quick trip to Utah so we celebrated Owen’s birthday a day early with them. There’s been a lot of hype…
