Let me just go ahead and get this out there – I’m a huge chess square fan. I’ve never met a dessert with the word “chess” in it that I don’t like. Chess is code word for “awesome stuff”, if you ask me. I have had this recipe idea in my head for a long […]

I read online somewhere today that it’s National Peanut Butter Day? Peanut Butter is reason enough for me to celebrate, how about you? Peanut butter is one of those things that I couldn’t live without if I tried. It’s so creamy (or crunchy), sweet, nutty, delicious. I just can’t get enough of it, especially when […]

I am a little embarrassed to admit it, but last year during the Christmas season I went a little nuts. I bought six packages of gingerbread cookie mix because they only sell them during Christmas season, and well…what if I get the hankering for a gingerbread cookie in July? I personally have never made gingerbread cookies […]

I had hopes of making a pumpkin roll sometime during the Thanksgiving holidays, but time just got away from me. November was such a crazy busy month that I never got a chance to make it and I was so disappointed! I know it’s almost December and it’s time for Christmas goodies and all kinds […]

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never really been much on sweet potatoes. I think it all comes from a yucky, stringy baked sweet potato I had about 18 years or so ago. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since, thereby avoiding sweet potatoes since that very day. That is…until […]

Just reading the title of this recipe makes my mouth water. Toffee? Apples? Blondies? Oh Em Gee are these ever so delicious! When I first saw this recipe it was one of those that I knew I just had to make soon, and I did…about 5 minutes later. It was a Sunday afternoon, and a […]

The first time I tasted this recipe I was at a meeting and as soon as it touched my mouth I immediately thought of my hubby. He loves strawberries and would rather have a simple dessert like this rather than a fancy layered cake with lots of decorator frosting any day. So I decided that […]

Before you all think I’ve gone nuts posting such a long recipe, hear me out. I know that this recipe looks very intricate, but I promise you that it’s not. Honestly, most of the steps involve nothing more than moving the cooked cheesecake from place to place to ensure that it cools down at the […]

We live in Mississippi and when I say it’s hot, it’s friggin’ HOT! We completely skipped past Spring altogether. It’s supposed to hit 100 degrees today, and I would not be one bit surprised if it just bypassed 100 and hit 105! I love living in the South just as much as any good Southern […]

Variations of this recipe are all over the place, mostly in old cookbooks that I got from my grandmother when she moved. I went to visit her one day and she had a box full of cookbooks sitting in her garage and said she was fixing to take them to give away. My goodness, my […]
