Desserts
Chocolate Mousse Brownies
I’ve been in Colorado for the last week and a half visiting my family. Nothing beats spending time with family! And nothing beats my momma’s desserts….which we had plenty of. She made these brownies twice….and they were the death of my attempt to eat healthy. I lost all self control. I kept cutting off little…
Birthday Cake Time….
My husband celebrated his 26th birthday on Friday. Around here though, we don’t just celebrate birth days we celebrate birth weeks. Really, it’s my husband’s idea. He just likes to try to get out of helping around the house, doing laundry, changing diapers, and basically getting anything he wants for a whole week. Birth week…
My New Favorite Cookie
The famous Kellie Knapp (a good friend that lives too far away from me) gets all of the credit for these cookies. She is always making crazy good food and shares my love for sweet treats. She made some Chocolate Pudding Cookies once that I couldn’t get enough of….well, a year and a half…
Bring Me Two Piña Coladas….
….Cupcakes, that is. These “gourmet” cupcakes are too easy to make and oh so good. They are light and refreshing and you’ll feel like you could eat 10. We spent this last weekend with our good friends in Logan, Utah. Between these cupcakes, Traci’s amazing Caramel Popcorn (I’ll have to post that another day), and…
Strawberry Shortcakes
For me, Strawberry shortcake is the perfect summer dessert–nice and light, sweet but not too sweet. These were nothing short of that. The biscuits have the perfect touch of sweetness to balance out the strawberries and whipping cream. We had friends over for dinner and served these for dessert, but wouldn’t they be fun for…
Caramel-Pecan Coconut Brownies
Wow, these brownies are really rich….they are gewy, dense, and rich. But good. Today was a lazy day. I didn’t shower until four o’clock. I didn’t get the laundry done, or the apartment cleaned, and didn’t get a workout in. But of course, I was ambitious enough to bake. My sis-in-law hasn’t had the best…
Disappearing Marshmallow Blondies
These might just be the tastiest treats I’ve ever had. Good luck trying not to eat the entire pan, let alone all the batter. Luckily, I’m taking them to a little shin-dig we are having with friends to watch the USA vs Ghana World Cup game today, or I’d be in trouble….as would my hips,…
Banana-Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I made these Martha Stewart Banana-Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies to take to a church barbeque. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with cookies for a church function, but wanted them to be slightly unique. You know that chocolate chip banana bread everyone loves? Well these are kinda like that bread in a cookie.They are thick,…
On the Lighter Side….Berry Dessert Nachos
These Berry Dessert Nachos come from Better Homes & Gardens as well. After devouring too many of those Peanut Butter Munchies Friday night, we decided to go for something a little lighter Saturday night (because dessert is a must every weekend night, right?) We both decided that these nachos could replace our, well really just…
