These light, gently spiced buns are one of my favorite Easter week traditions. I make them every Good Friday, always bringing them to my mom for sharing with a cup of tea. This recipe from America's Test Kitchen is a little time intensive, but not difficult and, it has never failed me. You get big,… Continue reading Hot Cross Buns

No Bake Energy Bites
My husband recently brought home some chocolate from Israel. His co-worker brought it back from a trip. I was intrigued by the packaging. Instead of a caloric count on the back, the label read "energy". I love that. Food = Fuel. Sometimes I forget that the food I eat provides energy to my body. These… Continue reading No Bake Energy Bites
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Parfait
Lord save me from this dessert. Layers of Oreos, sweet peanut butter fluff and decadent chocolate mousse with a secret layer of peanut butter cups hidden inside. Mind blown. Taste bud explosion. I could die happy right now. I've been cured of my "meh" attitude regarding peanut butter and chocolate. You are going to kill… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Parfait
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
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread
I have been overwhelmed in the past week or so to the response to my Reese's Peanut Butter Bars. God bless Pinterest.

These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies are infused with… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread
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. I missed out on the red hair though (darn you genetics!). In actuality I think I'm about an eighth Irish, but it is the heritage I associate… Continue reading Leprechaun Rainbow Cupcakes
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

Apple Raisin Breakfast Bread
Breakfast can get boring easily. At least for me. I'm not a morning person. Actually, I'm currently blogging at 2am - so that should tell you something of my preference between day and night. Also, should make you cut me some slack if anything in this post makes no sense. Since I don't drink coffee,… Continue reading Apple Raisin Breakfast Bread
