My mother-in-law told me about this super easy Jell-O & Cool Whip dessert she and her roommates used to make all the time in college. They called it “Splut”. Splut? She says it was the sound it made when it hit something or someone. Apparently it’s good ammo in a food fight. …

Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars with Brown Sugar Glaze
I may be too tired to cook when it’s time for dinner, but I’m never too tired to whip up a batch of my favorite cookies or something sweet like these Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars in the middle of the day. Never. I had forgotten just how much I love butterscotch…
Peanut Butter M&M Marshmallow Cookies. Oh my!
I’ve gone from craving citrus fruits and anything sour in my first trimester to nothing but chocolate and peanut butter {and anything sweet} in my second trimester. I’ve got to get control of it. And control over these cookies. They happened yesterday. They are dangerous. Someone come eat them for me, PLEASE. …
Super Fast Sugar Cookies (Cake Mix Sugar Cookies)
Perfect sugar cookies are usually a labor of love. Not these ones. They are the perfect go to when you’re craving a delicious, soft sugar cookie but don’t have the time or energy to make them from scratch. Or they’re just great for a last minute treat you need to take to…
Texas Sheet Cake

Sweet Charity Pie
This is a dessert my mom always seems to make around the Holidays. I’m not usually a fan of cherry-flavored or filled desserts, but for some reason I can’t stay away from this one. I think it’s the cherry-almond flavor of the two fillings that gets me. You get a sweet cream cheese layer…
