Baked Apples-007.JPG

Before we talk about today’s recipe, I have an announcement to make. My news isn’t life changing. I didn’t win the lottery, so I can’t quit my job, and no one in my family is getting married or having babies – at least not yet. So what’s the big announcement you ask? Yesterday I pushed [...]

Are You a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Fan? This Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate Pudding is for You!

December 18, 2012
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Pudding

I find it interesting the foods that people won’t eat. I don’t like mushrooms. I think fruit of most varieties is not in the least bit tasty, and I’m not a fan of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Foods that many people say they must-have (Reese’s being my husband’s go-to treat), I can [...]

June 16, 2012
O Olive Oil Citrus and Berry Dessert

Recently Dave at eRecipeCards  suggested I enter O Olive Oil’s recipe contest where I was to review their products and create an original recipe.

Mango Mousse with Yogurt Cheese

No big recipe post today, my friends. Just a quick snippet to show you how versatile and tasty yogurt cheese can be.

Sweet Potato Souffle

Strawberry Upside Down Cake

Who says eating light means skipping dessert? You won’t hear that statement coming from my lips! If I tried to pass that rule in my house, there would be a mutiny and I’d be eating by myself every night.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Brownies – Yummy, Right?

July 18, 2011
Whole Wheat Blueberry Brownies

I don’t bake, and I don’t profess to be good at baking. In fact, I prefer chips to sweets, so it’s not often that my family enjoys the aroma of fresh baked goods wafting through the air. In fact, I know they would love a treat to land on the table now and then that [...]
