My son started t-ball this week. I made the monumental mistake of telling him a month ago that t-ball was starting "soon". Apparently I have no idea how slowly time moves for a three-year-old. Daily he has looked at me with big hopeful brown eyes "Mommy? Do I have t-ball today?". Finally, I got to… Continue reading Apple Pie Braided Danish

Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
I simply adore the bright fresh flavor of lemon. It just makes for happy food. I'm not really sure what the right label for this treat is. It's too sweet to be a bread, too light to be a true pound cake and too bread-like to be a cake. It's fabulous, whatever it is. Filled… Continue reading Double Glazed Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
Godfather’s Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza
Just call me Tonya, destroyer of diets. Slayer of sensible eating. You will rue the day you read this post. I'm sorry in advance. I've managed to resist the temptation to make this dessert for almost a year. However, 364 days is the most I can say "no" to something I really want. Even I… Continue reading Godfather’s Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza
Poppa’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Some of my fondest childhood memories involve rhubarb. Actually, they revolve around my grandfather (who I called "Poppa"), his cabin, and the rhubarb that grows by the laughing creek that runs the length of his property. My cousins and I established lifelong friendships in the field at the cabin. I learned to play volleyball and… Continue reading Poppa’s Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Graham-O-Toffee Candy
The "O" is for oats. These treats are to DIE for. Incredibly easy and layered deliciousness. I'm taking them camping this weekend. If they last that long. I love recipes where the finished product seems like more work than it actually took. Shhh. It'll be our little secret how simple these are. Start with a… Continue reading Graham-O-Toffee Candy
Apple Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Frosting
I'm pretty conflicted about sharing this recipe. On the one hand, the cookies taste delicious. They are kind of like an apple crisp cookie. They have chewy oats and sweet apples with a hint of cinnamon. Delightful. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the recipe was missing a key step. Chilling the dough. My… Continue reading Apple Oatmeal Cookies With Brown Butter Frosting
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
I had some leftover cinnamon butter in my fridge from making Snickerdoodle Bread. Not enough to make a full recipe of anything really, so I've been pondering how to use it. Then I thought of something I saw a while ago (on Pinterest...yes, all good ideas come from there it seems). After eating these cinnamon… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Waffles
It's time for me to fess up. I adore oatmeal raisin cookies. I know they get no love and, when compared to chocolate chip they are the wallflower of cookies. But I love them. These waffles have all the flavor of plump sun-kissed raisins and hearty oats, AND you get to top them with butter… Continue reading Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Waffles
Cheater Churros
Easiest recipe ever. Perfect as a backup dessert during a dinner party I recently had. One of my guests couldn't eat the main attraction (which was very sad because the chocoflan was incredible). So, I made these quick and easy churros for him. A quick bake, dunk in some butter and a roll in cinnamon… Continue reading Cheater Churros
Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Baked goods involving zucchini are considered a vegetable in my book. I've been exercising like a crazy person lately and watching my calories, so more vegetables is exactly what I need. This amazingly moist absolutely decadent tasting chocolate bread fit the bill perfectly. I don't feel too badly about it since it's reasonably low-calorie and… Continue reading Super Moist Chocolate Zucchini Bread
