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

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

Whenever I make something, I mentally rate it on a scale of how simple or difficult the recipe is versus how delicious the food turns out. No, I'm not OCD enough to… Continue reading Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts

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

Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

You are going to hate me for giving you this recipe. Either that, or you'll want to erect a monument in your town square. Possibly to me. More likely to these peanut butter bars. They are amazing. In every way. Totally easy. 5 minutes into the pan, no baking easy. Sinfully delicious. I am not… Continue reading Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars

Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips

I was trying to sort thru some old photos on my computer today when I came across a few I didn't even remember taking. Also, about 20,000 pictures of my kids. Wow. It's a wonder they aren't blind from all the flash bulbs going off in their faces. I apparently took pictures of food well… Continue reading Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips
