Chocolate Covered Strawberries’ Cake

Oh hi there. : ) Do you remember those chocolate covered strawberries I made a little while back? I just had to make them again. They’re so lovely and I enjoy feeling fancy through small desserts. Of course, I couldn’t just make the strawberries. No, oh no. I had to do something new and exciting…

Pb&J Waffles

A few months back, Dad bought me my very own waffle iron. That was a very good day. I mean, it’s not like my ultimate happiness depends on a belgium waffle maker…but…c’mon… Just look what my precious little waffle iron can make:I kid you not when I say we had waffles four times a week at some…

Elvis Toast

There are so many new recipes and cooking shows amidst the bookstores and interwebs these days. But I don’t want anything new. ( I still like thingamabobs and thingamajigs, I just need a breather ) Therefore, I’m heading down memory lane and going back to my roots. My roots meaning breakfast toast. ( Elvis just happened to slip in…

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I made a fancy dessert. A super simple, super yummy, fancy dessert. I don’t know if it’s just me, but whenever I see chocolate covered strawberries, I think of fancy occasions. Is it just me?

Hostess Cupcakes

Did you know I actually hated these cupcakes as a child? The Hostess brand, and the Little Debbie brand. I don’t know why, it must have been something about the flavor or the fact that they didn’t taste near as good as my mom’s cupcakes. That’s where baking at home comes in handy. Just the…

Apple Pie

I found this recipe after watching video after video online looking for a delicious apple pie. After about twenty videos I saw this one and knew I had to get into my kitchen. Mom had just bought a giant bag of nine supersize apples and I knew how perfect my pie was going to be. I have to…

Funfetti Cupcakes

Today is a happy day. The weather is warm, there’s a light drizzle of rain, a cat in my lap, and funfetti cupcakes in my kitchen. I’m not even sure if there is a direct history to funfetti cupcakes, but here’s my theory. “Long ago, in a far off land, where sweet goodies were rare…

Single Serve Cookie Pie

It’s a hard thing: trying to share chocolate chip cookies. But do you want to know what’s even harder? Having enough dough left from nibbling to get at least one cookie in the oven. Whenever I make large batches of chocolate chip cookies I can never seem to get the bowl away from grabby hands….
