It's a well documented fact that I love mini desserts. I don't know what it is about them. Maybe it's that no matter what you're making, if you turn it into a bite sized version, it gets a little more adorable. And somehow, being able to pop the entire thing in your mouth makes it… Continue reading Apple Crisp Cups
Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
This recipe makes a TON of muffins - three dozen perfectly sized ones. Or, you can make three 9x5 inch loaves out of it. Great for sharing! I'm taking these to MOPS tomorrow. I did some plain, some with chocolate chips added and some with candied walnuts on top. You could also add raisins soaked… Continue reading Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
Apple Strudel Muffins
Yesterday, my power was out the entire morning and most of the afternoon. It was very frustrating. I realized how completely addicted I am to my computer. When the power came back on, my monitor got fried and now won't display anything. Computers are pretty worthless without a screen to show you what it's doing.… Continue reading Apple Strudel Muffins
Candy Corn Cupcakes
It was a gorgeous fall day! We went to the pumpkin patch as a family, enjoyed the brisk foggy morning and the muddy ground.

After finishing my Brownie Cookie digging, I started looking into recipe knockoffs for… Continue reading Cranberry Bliss Bars

Sometimes it was difficult to follow that advice. Often, it was downright impossible. I've gone thru ups… Continue reading Sisters

Sometimes I get impatient. Ok, I get anxious and… Continue reading Relational Traffic
Mr & Mrs Desimone Cake Bites
Put together some cake bites for the family get together for gift opening. Congrats to the new Mr & Mrs Desimone! I've had these cake bites sitting un-dipped in my freezer for about a month, took them out and dipped them while still frozen. It worked so much better than when I dipped them previously.… Continue reading Mr & Mrs Desimone Cake Bites
Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
It's pastor appreciation month. And I think my pastor pretty much rocks. He also likes my baked goods. Which makes him even more awesome. A few weeks ago he mentioned that he loves cookies that are the texture of brownies, with chocolate chips in them. He used to have them in Australia, but hasn't found… Continue reading Double Chocolate Brownie Cookies
