Yes, I have a thing against Cool Whip. Yes, this pie actually has a crust that my camera somehow missed. No… I didn’t save you a piece. I’m sorry. It was too good. Even my family didn’t get much of it. It was pretty amazing. The first thing I love about this pie is that,…
Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars
Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, but I don’t actually eat it very often. It’s expensive to buy and not the easiest thing to make. For the most part, I prefer my cheesecake plain, or maybe with a few strawberries. When you go adding a bunch of other stuff (like caramel, yuck) you lose…
Mini Molten Lava Sundaes
What’s your favorite Dessert? My son’s favorite is a hot fudge sundae. My husband’s favorite is a good old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie. My daughter isn’t much of a dessert eater. (She isn’t much of an anything eater, bless her little heart.) So she’ll just nibble at whatever. Me? Jury’s still out. Too many amazing desserts…
Blueberry-Pecan Crisp (No Refined Sugar)
We’ve talked a little bit about resolutions and goals around here. I’ve mentioned that it’s my goal to stick to a sort-of tight food budget. So far so good. It’s amazing what a meal plan will do for your budget! Something else that keeps our food expenses low is that we don’t buy desserts…
Raspberry Filled Almond Thumbprint Cookies
Need an amazing and beautiful dessert for your next dinner party? (And when I say dinner party I mean, the next time you have friends over for tacos.) These Raspberry Filled Almond Thumbprint Cookies are my newest favorite dessert. I really think I could eat them every day. I’m not so sure my jeans would…
Pecan Pie Bars
If you love shortbread cookies, and even if you don’t love pecan pie, you need to try these Pecan Pie Bars. They always come out right, and they always disappear quickly. I’m posting these today as a virtual birthday gift for my sister Melissa. It’s her birthday tomorrow and we are many states…
Pumpkin Donuts
It’s another one of my childhood memories, coming to you in the form of a recipe. If you love donuts and even if you don’t love pumpkin, you’ll love these pumpkin donuts! I choose to allow myself to believe that these delicious treats are healthy (because they have a vegetable… or, um… is pumpkin actually a…
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
Need I say more? Maybe this will help convince you. They’re not difficult at all. Just don’t be stingy with the frosting and you’re golden. I grew up eating whoopie pies that my grandmother made. I’m pretty sure her freezer was never without them. Just biting into one now brings me right back to…
Peanut Butter Bars
Peanut butter and chocolate… a classic combination that we all love! If the kids have found your secret chocolate stash, don’t panic! You can be eating these Peanut Butter Bars in about twenty minutes. This recipe is a bit of a trip back to childhood for me. My Aunt Helen used to make these…
Mini Fruit Pizzas
This is the story of an old woman who can’t hold her… caffeine. (And a recipe for a yummy, beautiful dessert). Yes, that woman is me. I started noticing it a few years ago, when I rolled past that magic age of 40 when apparently, everything begins going down hill at lightning speed. Overnight I…
