As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I have been attempting a few desserts that might make it to the big table! We always have to have a tried and true pumpkin pie (it’s Greg’s absolute favorite!) but I like to add a less traditional dessert option too. Since cheesecake is always a good choice, I … More Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake
Obviously I love baking, and I have pretty much become the dessert-maker for my friends, too! Recently, my friend, Jill, asked me to concoct a gluten free cheesecake for a dinner she was hosting and I was more than happy to oblige. I went with a chocolate chip cheesecake because, who doesn’t like a chocolate … More Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
I have never made a whoopie pie in my life… hell, I don’t think I have ever even eaten one! But, when I was looking for a fun fall treat to make for my monthly department meeting, a whoopie pie sounded like what everyone needed! I usually fall back on Sally’s Baking Addiction when it … More Apple Cinnamon Spice Whoopie Pies
Friday! And the last Friday of October! I am gearing up for an epic Halloween bash with friends on Sunday, and I can’t wait to get together to celebrate the start of the holiday season. I love planning get-togethers with a theme… This month has been back-to-back orders for my side business, and I finished … More TGIF – fun finds
Who doesn’t like Key Lime Pie? This is an honest question. Really – I get not liking some desserts, but Key Lime Pie is the dessert that everyone can agree upon. Its creamy, and tangy, and the crust… all together it is just so damn good! One thing I love with any type of pie … More Key Lime Pie
Whoo-hoo… It’s Friday! I cannot believe that October is nearing an end and this week marks the official end of Quarter 1 for the school year. On one hand, the first 1/4 of the year has flown by, and on the other hand this has been the LONGEST quarter of my life!!! I had to… … More TGIF – fun finds
Ok – I’ve waited this long to post a pumpkin recipe… I’m so proud of myself! Tay loves it when I make a batch of muffins on the weekend because it gives her an easy go-to breakfast throughout the week. Normally, I gravitate towards banana muffins because they are a family favorite, but since it’s … More Pumpkin Muffins
To go along with my post about Cameo’s surprise 40th birthday party, I have to take a moment to reflect on the gluten free chocolate cake I made. I am not well-versed in gluten free recipes. The few I have tried have been epic fails, so I as so nervous about making a cake for … More Flourless Chocolate Cake
Now that we are back to teaching in person, I have ramped up my baking of sweet-treats in order to boost morale within my department. Yep, I’m using sugar to make everyone happy! We have department meetings once a month and I have made it my mission this year to (once again!) supply my colleagues … More Coconut Cream Cheese Brownies
Do you ever make a dessert that is so easy and so good that you wonder why you don’t make it more often???? Yep, that’s me with tiramisu. I love a good tiramisu, but never think of making it – and I don’t know why! Well, I recently made a delicious Italian-themed dinner and wanted … More Tiramisu
right turn ahead
