Every once in a while I like to pretend that I’m a master baker or chef and go make something that I’ve never made before except from a boxed mix and expect it to come out perfect! Yeah and we all know how that one can turn out. Earlier in the year I had a… Read more

Mixed Berry Ice Cream
Whenever I think of ice cream lately, I want to run around the house singing a la Eddie Murphy’s Delirious. Especially since I have been on a ice cream kick lately, I’ve had that in my head. The last batch I’ve made was my Mixed Berry. I like to use frozen berries because they have… Read more
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Ah summer. I loathe the heat of summer. Why can’t it just be WARM and not BOILING outside? My poor fair skin needs to hide from the sun and avoid it unless wearing a strong SPF. But the heat is also the BEST time to make the ice cream. Home made ice cream. Minty fresh… Read more
Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcakes
Thats right. Dark chocolate salted caramel cupcakes. Have you ever heard of anything that just makes your insides just start dancing, anticipating the sugar high that is about to ensue? This causes it.
Cinnamon Rolls
I shock my husband. I really do. Especially when I suddenly bust out things like home made cinnamon rolls randomly. He’s slowly getting used to the fact that I’ve started learning how to cook. He still won’t take bites of things when I walk up to him with a spoon and say “eat this”. That… Read more
Peppermint Bark
I’m not that big of a chocolate fan, but my husband is. He loves the fact that I like cooking with chocolate, or making candies and he gets most of them. I got this idea from the peppermint bark that Williams Sonoma sells around Christmas. It’s horribly expensive but so easy to make. I ended… Read more
Hot Fudge Sauce
I have a confession. It’s rather sad but true. I’m really not that big of a chocolate person. Does that make me less of a woman? When looking at a dessert or something sweet, I never really went for the chocolate. Sure there was the required Snickers bar in the morning during high school for… Read more
Raspberry Coffee Cake – Feeding The Soul
Work has really been evil for me lately. My schedule got knocked around majorly, I now have to be at work at 5:00am. Because of my commute I have to leave at 4:20am. I have to wake up by 3:10am to go shower. Yeah, its early and yeah it sucks. Hopefully it’ll only be temporary.… Read more
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Yesterday was spent in the most delightful way. The sun has been shining, it is slowly getting warmer, and things are just looking brighter all around. Money is still tight with the economy, so what can you do when you want a nice treat on a warm spring day? Make your own ice cream sandwiches!… Read more
Sweet Brownies
My husband likes to “hint” at things he wants me to try and bake. I know he has an evil scheme to get an idea in my head and to get me to make it a reality. In my head it’s almost a conspiracy, an evil plot to do his bidding in the kitchen. What… Read more
