Are you a crust or filling person? Pie eaters (I've found) fall into one of these two distinct categories. Those who tolerate the crust as a means for getting gorgeous amazing delicious filling into their mouths. And those who believe a flaky light crust absolutely is the best thing about pie. That the filling is… Continue reading Blueberries and Cream Pie

White Chocolate Lemon Truffles
Seattle Chocolates used to make an incredible white chocolate orange truffle. They had a gold wrapper with a creamy white chocolate truffle inside. When I was a teenager who didn't have to worry about things like love handles, cellulite and flab, I would eat them by the handful. My first job was at a Hallmark… Continue reading White Chocolate Lemon Truffles

I've loved everything I've ever… Continue reading Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Honeyed French Toast
I've been making french toast the same way for years. Eggs, a little milk, some sugar and vanilla. Beat, dunk, pan fry. Nothing to write home about, but good enough. Until I made THIS recipe I didn't know just how delicious french toast could taste. I guess I never realized what good french toast was… Continue reading Honeyed French Toast

These buttery bars have a secret weapon - glorious cinnamon sugar deliciousness swirling all thru the sweet dough. In addition to being a bar version of one of my most favorite… Continue reading Snickerdoodle Blondies
Nanaimo Bars
I first saw these amazing bars when visiting Victoria for my sister's birthday weekend. My mom and I popped into a little coffee-house to pick up some liquid caffeine and while we were waiting I drooled over the divine treats in their glass cases. These caught my eye as I'd never heard of them before.… Continue reading Nanaimo Bars
Scratch Cake Mixes & Strawberry Cream
I've mentioned a few times that I'm taking a cake decorating class. I'm enjoying it tremendously and learning all sorts of fun things. Don't judge my decorating skills too harshly, I'm still learning. I found this cake mix recipe years ago and it has never failed me. Perfect if you don't want to make a… Continue reading Scratch Cake Mixes & Strawberry Cream
Banana Cream Cupcakes
Sometimes I feel like my house is swimming in bananas. They are always around for my kids and every year I forget how quickly they get ripe for baking (aka dark brown freckly) once the weather turns a smidge warmer. I had some to use up this week and decided to mash-up a couple in… Continue reading Banana Cream Cupcakes

For those of you who don't know, occasionally I make a recipe that's specifically for a very special person in my life. I name the recipe after them and someday when I have my own little shop, I plan to feature all my ode to friendship items. I'll be surrounded by the baked versions of… Continue reading “Bethany” Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes
