If you missed it, sweet baby Miles arrived June 14th. I was able to have a VBAC and although my labor was long and there were a couple of scares along the way (I was THIS close to having a c-section again) it was so worth it and an experience I’m very grateful for! Baby…
Desserts
Funfetti Cheesecake Bars
Okay, these babies are just down right dangerous. Brett ate half the pan the first night I made them. The next day I finally dug into them too and sent him a text saying “These bars are good! Now I know why you ate half the pan last night;)” He…
Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispie Treats
Please tell me you’re swooning at the idea of a rice krispie treat filled with chunks of angel food cake topped with fresh whipped cream and strawberries? They might just be the best rice krispie treats I’ve ever had. Believe it or not, I can’t ever seem to make good rice krispie treats, they always…
Peanut Butter Chocolate & Oreo Banana Pops
These tasty little frozen treats are just what we all need this summer. After all, it’s almost JUNE!! Can you believe it? Which means I get to meet this little baby boy in almost three weeks. Eeeek! But it also means swim suit season is just around the corner. Eeeek, again! Not to…
Crack Brownies
I had one request for Mother’s Day yesterday. These Crack Brownies. Brett had every intention of making them for me, but I got impatient and made them Friday night. Half of the pan was gone by Sunday! Oopsie. I first saw this brownies over at Pip & Ebby and have just been dying to try them! …
Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pie
This Nestle Toll House Pie is like a giant, warm and gooey chocolate chip cookie! Sliced and served warm with a big ol’ scoop of ice cream or fresh whipping cream, and you’ve got yourself a little slice of heaven. It’s definitely rich and full of all kinds of calories that are hard to…
Earthquake Cake
Brett and I took dinner to some friends that just had their first baby, and I made this Earthquake Cake for dessert. Typically you’d make this in a 9×13 inch cake pan but because most new mom’s are trying to lose the baby weight, and because it’s just the two of them plus the new…
Easy Lemon Cheese Bars & 30 Weeks!
I’ll get to this good stuff in a minute…. But first, a pregnancy update! Tuesday marked 30 weeks for me:) I’ll most likely be having another c-section since my babies like to sit nice and cozy, breech, in my uterus (I actually have a weird shaped utereus, so guess it’s not babies’ fault;)). But at…
Inside-Out Carrot Cake Cookies
After getting several nights of 9 + hours of sleep, guzzling orange juice over the last few days (with a couple of diet cokes in there), and sucking on about a million cough drops…I’m finally feeling better. And I finally did some baking. I figured I ought to squeeze in an Easter dessert…
Banana Bread Ice Cream Sandwiches
I got hit with the nastiest of head colds over the weekend. Complete with a sore throat, incredibly stuffy nose, and the feeling that my head might explode. Which is really no fun when you’re pregnant and can’t take any medication. Or hungry and can’t taste anything. It didn’t hold me back…
