Peach Cake

I bought 3 peaches with the intention of making a dessert of some sort. I had no idea what dessert I wanted to make; all I knew is that those peaches looked good. And I needed them. They sat in fridge while I looked and looked for a recipe that sounded good. A few days [...]

Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes

I can’t help myself. Every time I go to the store, I buy strawberries. Walking through the farmers’ market is dangerous. I buy strawberries. I just love strawberries!!! I love them in salads, I love them in cakes, and now I love them in cupcakes! This was inspired by one of Mike’s favorite summertime drinks – [...]

Silken Chocolate Pie

After I made brownies, strawberry shortcake cake, and a French silk pie, I worried that I wouldn’t have enough dessert for Mike’s birthday bash. My main concern? Those that wanted the French silk pie but couldn’t eat it because it contained raw eggs. I hate the thought of any one leaving disappointed, so I caved [...]

Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp

I love fruit crisps. They’re pretty idiot-proof, meaning I don’t need to rely on a recipe to make it taste good. I was so excited to use the first batch of rhubarb that my in laws’ garden yielded*, especially since the rhubarb that we transplanted into our garden was looking pretty pitiful. I kept waiting [...]

Chocolate Walnut Biscotti

My mom requested one thing from me for Christmas – biscotti. I didn’t make it (oops). She requested one thing from me for her birthday – biscotti. I made it I used a different recipe this time, one without any butter. When I first started mixing everything together, I was unsure if it would turn [...]

Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

I’m not a huge chocolate fan, but fruity desserts are some of my favorites. And there’s nothing like some oatmeal in a dessert to make it seem a little healthier… If only, right?? These bars were a hit – the first pan disappeared in just a little over a day. They are definitely in my [...]

I was skeptical about these cookies at first since they contain no flour. In fact, I was pretty sure they were going to be a major flop right up until I pulled them out of the oven and tried one. These were delicious, peanut-buttery bites of goodness. They were simple to make and contain only [...]

Oh. My. Goodness. This tart is everything delicious about chocolate. It’s rich, creamy, and decadent. Three luscious layers of chocolate that tastes like one huge truffle. Don’t let the long ingredient list fool you – this tart is incredibly easy to make and the results will be well-worth your time. Take a look for yourself… [...]
