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
Blueberries and Cream Pie
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
Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Cookie Monster is a classic. A friend of mine shared this video with me saying this is how she feels every time I post a new recipe. She's so sweet. Enjoy a good laugh by watching this: A while back, this same friend gave me a cookbook full of deliciousness. I've loved everything I've ever… Continue reading Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Snickerdoodle Blondies
I've never been super attracted to blondes. I'm more of a dark and handsome kind of gal. Brownies over blondies every time. Until now. 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
