This recipe comes to you courtesy of Crisco. Funny story. Last week I was enjoying the cooling evening breeze wafting thru my open window with a beverage in my hand and my love by my side when I heard frantic calls of "Tonya! Tonya!" coming from over the fence. My adorable neighbor (and her daughter)… Continue reading Glazed Caramel Apple Bread

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
I have been looking for a no-fail, easy homemade granola bar recipe for a few weeks now. Fall is coming and my sweet Madison is starting Kindergarten. How did that happen so fast? I blinked and suddenly she was 5. Crazy. I cannot wait for after school snack time. I remember that being the best… Continue reading No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
Captain Hook’s Favorite Breakfast
My kids discovered a new joke this week. I've heard it about 100 times in the past few days. It goes like this: Just in case you didn't catch that, here's the dialogue. Madison: What is Captain Hook's favorite kind of breakfast? Donovan: I dunno. Madison: Peter Pan-cakes! <insert hilarious laughter here> Oh yes, the… Continue reading Captain Hook’s Favorite Breakfast
Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks
I'm not sure if this is really a secret or not. Let me pretend that I'm the first person to ever tell you this anyway. You can make breadsticks that taste just like your favorite unlimited basket at the Olive Garden. It's true. And, it is not hard. Really, it is too easy. Cause, I… Continue reading Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks
French Toast Muffins
I'm always on the lookout for ways to eat dessert for breakfast. These delightful little muffins have perfectly light flavor and a melt in your mouth oh-my-goodness-this-is-so-amazing texture that's to die for. What would you call a dessert that you pass off as breakfast? I mean, besides the obvious...pie. Bressert? Deskfast? Although these are called… Continue reading French Toast Muffins
Crusting Buttercream & The Great Cupcake Pan
This week I had the tremendous privilege of making the topper for a wedding tower. The bride and groom wanted a giant cupcake, so that's what they got. I tested out several buttercream recipes and absolutely loved this one. It tastes delicious and crusts up beautifully but is still soft enough to cut thru. I… Continue reading Crusting Buttercream & The Great Cupcake Pan
Happy National Cheesecake Day
Did you hear? It's today! Whoever thought up such a holiday should be sainted. What a brilliant idea. I absolutely adore cheesecake. I usually reserve it for very special occasions because I cannot resist it. Can NOT. I'll eat enough to make myself totally sick. It's just too delicious. Maybe you don't have the cheesecake… Continue reading Happy National Cheesecake Day
Strawberry Dream Cake
I can honestly tell you that this recipe was a present for me. From God. No joke. Let me explain. Some lovely people I know just got married. A few days before the wedding I agreed to help out by making a giant cupcake for them to cut into for the smash-cake-in-your-face moment at the… Continue reading Strawberry Dream Cake
Disneyland’s White Chocolate Raspberry Cookie
A few years ago I went to Disneyland on a mission. That mission was food. Glorious, delicious food. You see, I've been enjoying Disneyland pretty much my whole life. I went several times as an adult with my sisters and cousin. No kids, just four 20-somethings having a blast. I took a trip after the… Continue reading Disneyland’s White Chocolate Raspberry Cookie
Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bars
My nieces came over unexpectedly today. My gluten/dairy free sweet lovelies. I had just pulled a Blueberries & Cream Pie out of the oven...which, (of course) they cannot eat. It's absolutely unacceptable for my sweet girls to come over to Auntie's house and not get a treat. But what to make? I remembered seeing this… Continue reading Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bars
