Cheesecake Cookies

These. These are tea cookies, plain and simple. I am a huge lover of cheesecake. I am also a huge lover of cookies. Mix the two together and, well, I lose my marbles. This recipe is so easy. If you aren’t a “baker”, rest assured this is one that is really hard for you to […]

Carrot Spice Donuts with Citrus Cream Cheese Glaze

Happy Easter! Or, if you don’t celebrate the holiday, Happy Sunday Morning Homemade Donut Day! Earlier in the week, I ordered a Wilton Donut Pan off Amazon. It’s heart shaped and likely a castaway remaining from Valentines Day, but it was only $5. Can’t beat that! Going with the whole “Spring” thing and wanting to […]

Browned Butter Toffee Marshmallow Treats

Fiddle-dee-dee. Someone hand this gal a fan. I’m going to swoon. If there was one flavor that makes me weak in the knees, it is browned butter and toffee. Wait. That’s two flavors. Anyways, I’m a sucker for Heath bars and my favorite texture is anything toothsome and chewy. Al dente pasta, macaroni and cheese, […]

I have a confession to make. I was never a big Tres Leches Cake fan. For those of you out there unfamiliar with this dessert, it is a cake popular in many Hispanic homes. Essentially, it is a yellow cake that is baked then poked many times before a mixture of three kinds of […]

Fluffy Coconut Cake with Toasted Coconut Glaze

You know, sometimes the best things in life aren’t the flashiest or the fanciest. Take this Coconut Cake, for example. The most exotic thing about this dessert is the cup of coconut milk I had to hunt and peck all over the market to find. (Asian foods section!) However, a slice of this fluffy cloud of tropical […]

Flourless Dark Chocolate Bourbon Cake with Balsamic Pomegranate Sauce

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, peeps. Valentine’s is a day of romance, embraces, nice dinners out. It’s also a day of expensive flowers, long waits at over-crowded bistros, and babysitters’ fees. I’m not trying to sound negative about the holiday, but my hubs and I are the stay-inside-and-celebrate type. I’ve yet to decide what I’m cooking […]
