Smooth & Creamy Peanut Butter Pie

February 21, 2015 By Beth Cranford 10 Comments

This is a smooth and creamy peanut butter pie that is made with real whipped cream (instead of fake "cream-like" substances).Takes a few minutes to make.

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

February 6, 2015 By Beth Cranford 1 Comment

When a craving for cheesecake strikes, there isn't much you can do but honor it. These bars have all the texture and flavor of traditional cheesecake but are much easier to make.

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

January 23, 2015 By Beth Cranford 9 Comments

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)

January 16, 2015 By Beth Cranford 1 Comment

  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…

Pecan Pie Bars-Made on a delicious shortbread crust. You may never make Pecan Pie again after you’ve tasted these!

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…

Mini Fruit Pizzas

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…
