I made these tonight for our annual family trick-or-treating extravaganza. They were crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. They were awesome! Next time, I'll make some kind of dipping sauce (raspberry maybe, or possibly a vanilla bean custard) and try rolling them in powdered sugar. I think that would make… Continue reading Applesauce Drop Doughnuts

Apple Crisp Cups
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
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. We picked pumpkins and took some photos, then it was home to prepare for Madison's birthday party. She turned 4 back on the 5th, but because of wedding craziness, we held… Continue reading Candy Corn Cupcakes
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

Super Moist Chocolate Cake
This is a really easy (one bowl!) chocolate cake. Nothing too fancy, but it's deliciously moist and the perfect amount of chocolate. I cut each cake in half and put raspberry jam between the layers then frosted it with a rich chocolate frosting. Today we had it to celebrate my daughter's 4th birthday. It's the… Continue reading Super Moist Chocolate Cake
Snickerdoodles – Take Two
Today was my second attempt at the perfect snickerdoodle. I changed my recipe just a bit, replacing some of the butter with shortening. I also used a bigger ball of dough to get a slightly more domed cookie. I think I have found perfection. Puffed and soft, with just the right texture - these are… Continue reading Snickerdoodles – Take Two
Toffee Fudge Puddles
Tonight, I was supposed to be making phallic shaped candies for my sister's bachelorette party tomorrow night. But, I found out my cousin Shannon is making similarly shaped cookies, and felt that the candy molded "members" would be a little redundant. So, I made these babies instead. I combined parts of three recipes and added… Continue reading Toffee Fudge Puddles
Pumpkin Pie Poppers
I love pumpkin pie. L.O.V.E. it. Usually I make the Libby's Pumpkin recipe - and bump up the spices. But today I decided to do a twist on pumpkin pie by making it bite sized. I've heard of pumpkin pie recipes using sweet and condensed milk, and always kind of figured they'd be too sweet.… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Poppers
Glazed Lemon Cookies
I was looking for a bright lemon cookie that I could take to game night. I had all the ingredients on hand for these - too bad I didn't notice the fridge time prior to starting the batch. They need to chill for 2 hours to get nice and firm before slicing. Sadly - that… Continue reading Glazed Lemon Cookies
