I’ve started truncating my posts to prevent content thieves from swiping my content.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

It’s messy, it’s meaty, it’s carbalicious and it’s SO good! Come see the recipe here! 

Ice Cream Cupcakes are SO good!  You may remember the {Cake Batter} Ice Cream Cupcakes that I made last year.  They were such a big hit with everyone so I decided to make some more!  Click here to read the rest! 

(This cake can be scaled down to serve just a few or can be made for a crowd…. it’s sure to please!!!) Growing up I watched my mom spend hours baking and decorating cakes for friends and family.  She made wedding, birthday, baby shower and every kind of holiday cakes!   I know for sure …

My daughter asked me the other day if my new favorite color was pink.  I asked her why and she said, “Because everything you have been making recently is pink!”  I guess she is right and I DO love pink.  That is why I love Valentine’s Day.  I get to make things that are particularly girly and …

Valentine’s Day should have cherries!   After all…. life is just a bowl full of cherries.  😉 These Cherry Cookie Bars with Cream Cheese Icing are a delectable treat!   They remind me of a lofthouse cookie in texture, but even better because they are super moist!   The cherry taste comes from actual maraschino cherries that …

When it comes to donuts there are usually two types.  Cake and yeast risen.  This time I wanted  the yeast risen with its airy melt in your mouth feel.  The problem is that  I didn’t want to spend a lot of time making donuts.  The words easy and yeast don’t usually come together in the …

Valentine’s Day is one month away!!!  I have so many ideas… so hopefully I will get them all finished in time to share with y’all.  I’ll start out with the easiest of easy recipes:  “Pop Rocks Mallow Pops” !   They are so fun!    I may be 31, but I still love Pop Rocks …

Mushrooms.   It seems that you either love them… or hate them.  I am in the love them category.  I love them baked, fried, sauteed, fresh on a salad, on a pizza and obviously… in soup!   This Creamy Button and Bella Mushroom soup combines two types of mushrooms with a little thyme in a …

Since the age of 4 my family took me to Applewoods Restaurant in Oklahoma City for my birthday dinner.  Applewoods was a very unique restaurant that had apples as a theme on the menu.   It may have seemed like a strange place to take a little kid for their birthday, but let’s just say I was the …

Throughout  next year I will be posting some of the recipes that I grew up with.   Some of them came out of the cookbook above which is the Betty Crocker 1969 version.  Some of them were just passed on to me from family members and good friends.  All of them are special because they …

A couple of  friends were coming over the other night and I wanted to bake up something special for the occasion.  I’ve had Valentine’s on my mind recently so Red Velvet Brownies popped in my head.  I thought it would be a fun twist on the usual Red Velvet Cake.  Little did I know how …

I made these cute little cupcakes last summer for my daughter’s birthday.  All of my girls love girly, pink things so these were a big hit with them!   I thought that these would be perfect to post right now for an easy Valentine’s treat!   They could also do for a strawberry shortcake themed …

It’s a common southern tradition to offer Black Eyed Peas just after midnight on New Year’s Day. I really didn’t know much about this tradition until my adult-hood, but since it’s a fun tradition I thought we would make some this year!   My favorite way of making Black Eyed Peas is Seasoned and Oven- …

 These Sparkling Berry Bites look like they took all day to make.  I took these to a family Christmas party and everyone thought that they were so fancy.   I think that the berries look like they have a dusting of snow… they are just so pretty! I like pretty desserts.   I like them …
