New York Cheesecake

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

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 […]

Easy Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

About a month ago on another blog, I saw a recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread and it just sounded so absolutely delicious to me! I have no concerns about working with yeast, but was in such a hurry to make this and since I didn’t have some of the ingredients on hand (based off […]

Favorite Fruit Salad

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

I call this recipe Favorite Fruit Salad, because it’s just that…everyone’s favorite fruit salad. My husband is the only one that I know that has ever tasted this yummy treat and not liked it. But then again, he’s a little weird so that doesn’t surprise me. HA! Anyway, this is another simple dish that you […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

Are you sick of dessert recipes yet? No???? Well, here’s another one then! We leave for Boston again in just a few short days and I’m trying to avoid going to the grocery store and leaving unused groceries here while when we head out, so I’m using up all the stuff in my freezer. Which […]

Broccoli Crunch Salad

Friday, March 4th, 2011

This recipe falls in the “oldie but goodie” category for sure! I have always loved broccoli for as long as I can remember, but when Matt and I got married he despised it. He wouldn’t go anywhere near it I tell ya! I can happily say I’ve converted him and he now likes broccoli…maybe not […]

Nana’s Crock Pot Candy

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

My Nana is such a little sweetheart. She made these yummy treats for my kids and gave them to us one day when we stopped by for a visit. That week I had decided I was going to start eating better, and trying not to snack between meals as much. When I arrived at her […]

Lazy Man’s Cherry Cobbler

Friday, February 25th, 2011

My dad is a huge cherry dessert fan. Every time I think of him eating a cherry dessert, I am reminded of a hilarious story my mom once shared with me. She was pregnant with my big brother and had been put on bed rest due to hypertension. It was my parent’s first anniversary and […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Paradise Bars

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011

OHMYGOODNESS! If you love the ever-popular peanut butter/chocolate combo as much as I do, then these little bars of heaven are for you. I found this recipe one day while at my moms house. When I’m over there I usually pull out some of her old cookbooks and go through them while we chat. When […]

Chess Squares

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Lord help me, I am rendered completely weak when it comes to resisting these little treats. I bought the ingredients to make them back during the holidays, but with all that was going on somehow I forgot to actually follow through. So when I remembered I had all the stuff I just couldn’t help but […]

Vanilla Bean Caramels with Fleur de Sel

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Most recipes you’ll find on this site are very easy, relatively quick, and usually inexpensive. This recipe is one of the exceptions, but I just had to share it with you. When I saw this recipe on another blog, I just knew I had to try it. Matt (my hubby) is a HUGE fan of […]
