I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again….I love peanut butter + chocolate! Its my favorite treat combo. Earlier this week I found this Peanut Butter Munchies recipe from the Better Homes & Garden online food & recipes site. I promised myself I’d wait until the weekend to enjoy a treat, so I’ve basicallybeen…
Desserts
Peaches & Cream Cheesecake
This Peaches & Cream Cheesecake recipe comes from a “ward cookbook” from back home. Usually I’m browsing the net for new recipes and I forget to thumb through some of the great cookbooks I have. This cheesecake is more like a peach cobbler with a peachy, sweet cream cheese filling. We served it cold…
Melting Moments
There is an amazing little bakery called Dippidee just minutes from my house. I have to fight the urge to run over and grab a treat almost every day! Their sugar cookies are one of a kind, as well as these little treats called Heavenly Pieces. The heavenly pieces are a thick, round, butter-crumb cookie…
Guilt-Free Lemon Cupcakes…..Well, Almost
I like to cut calories and fat out of my food when I can, but I’m no nazi. Let’s be honest, most sugar-free, low-fat, or low-calorie desserts are never that great. I’m sure you’ve all heard of “diet soda cakes and cupcakes”. Supposedly you can replace the eggs, water, and oil you would normally add…
Iced Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies

I love the maple icing, it’s adds the perfect sweetness to the cookies. Iced Oatmeal Applesauce Cookiesby Martha Stewart Makes about 2 1/2 dozen 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted1 cup…
Classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peppermint Cream Cheese Frosting
I don’t have time for homemade cupcakes or homemade brownies….the box mix has had to do this last week as I’ve needed last minute Christmas treats to take to different people/places! But this peppermint cream cheese frosting is what I’m really excited about. I used it for both brownies and cupcakes, then topped them off…

I actually made these a while ago and posted it on my personal blog, so I’m just transferring it over. If you’re a fan of cheesecake, you’ll love these! Cheesecake Cookies Ingredients 1/2 c. cream cheese soft 1/2 c. butter, soft 1 c. sugar 1 egg 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking powder 1…
Quick and Easy Frog Eye Salad
This is one of my favorite summertime treats! You can really add any variation of fruit to it that you like. I like to make it “lighter” by using fat free or light cool whip and using sugar free vanilla pudding. I swear, you can’t taste the difference. It’s the perfect, quick and easy summer…
