Crustless Pumpkin Pie

The technically correct term for this recipe is "Pumpkin Flan". I'm pretty sure you need a crust to call something a pie. But I think the word flan is a little gross sounding, and I adore everything about pumpkin pie except the crust, so I'm doing this recipe on my own terms. Crustless Pumpkin Pie… Continue reading Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Bread Pudding with Bailey’s Custard

Warning! This is quite possibly the best, most decadent, delicious and amazing food item I've ever created. It is over-the-top rich. I have convinced myself that if I only eat it once a year or so, I don't have to feel guilty about it. Sort of. I'm already dreaming of when I can make this… Continue reading Bread Pudding with Bailey’s Custard

Leprechaun Rainbow Cupcakes

If you've seen any pictures of me, you know why I have to make special things for St. Patrick's Day. Pale skin, green eyes and freckles freckles everywhere.

Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies

You've heard me say frequently that I don't have a crazy passion for peanut butter and chocolate. Bizarre, I know. I feel this is a total deficiency of character. I would blame my maker, but I'm pretty sure He knew what was best for me in not giving me that particular food obsession. What God… Continue reading Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies

Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

I'm making peanut butter and chocolate for two reasons. I needed a snack to bring to conference championship weekend (it's a football thing - pretty much the best day in the NFL all year) and secondly, I don't really like peanut butter chocolate things. Since I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I need to… Continue reading Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites

Lemon Monkey Bread

Every monkey bread recipe I've ever seen is made with butter and brown sugar resulting in a caramel covered pull apart bread. This recipe intrigued me because of its main ingredient. Lemon. Lemon? Yes indeed. It is a bright fresh citrus bread drizzled with butter, lemony sugar and a sweet glaze. Lemon is so vibrant… Continue reading Lemon Monkey Bread

Churros

What happens when a girl who loves Disneyland has leftover cinnamon sugar? She makes churros. I have been longing for Disneyland churros for about two weeks now. They are my absolute favorite thing to eat there. Well, the Pomme Frites from Cafe Orleans are also amazing. And I do love a frosty Dole Whip. But… Continue reading Churros
