Blueberry Muffin Cookies

I should clarify, that’s a blueberry muffin cookie with a few raspberries. I added the raspberries for a bright shot of berry tartness that the blueberries alone could not provide. Remember awhile back when I was flipping classic desserts into cookies, eg. Cinnamon Roll Cookies, Banana Bread Cookies, Coffee...

Chocolate and Toffee Pecan Pinwheel Cookies

I’m on a puff pastry kick. This latest recipe is a spin on the traditional pinwheel cookie recipe using puff pastry. It’s fast and easy and the puff pastry along with the salted pecans gives this updated classic cookie a sweet and salty combo. Alongside the pecans are some...

Zebra Bundt Cake

I love zebra cakes, but I love a zebra bundt cake more. It just seems like less work. No need to cut layers and the frosting is a simple chocolate glaze. However you like or decide to carve your zebra cake, a zebra styling of any sort is pretty...

Extreme Brownies

Remember last week’s post when I took a cookie dough cheesecake and laced it into a brownie? And remember how I mentioned I was going to take it a fattening step further? Well here you go, my dear fellow glutton lovers, I took that and wrapped it in a fine flaky...

Pomegrante & Purple Basil Gin Smash

Cookie Dough Cheesecake Brownie Bars

Easter Jello shots for adults. See the egg portion, that’s a Jello shot kicked up with some Pinnacle Cotton Candy vodka. I should have made made my own boozy Peeps, but I ran out of time.   So I kept it simple and easy.  The only form required to make the egg...

Ruffle Cake Tutorial

I’m generally not a frilly type person, but when it comes to cakes-I want my frill! In this case I got my fix with a ruffle cake. This is a little bit of a variaion on this hugely popular version. My quest for a ruffle cake started with this...

Best Chocolate Cake Recipe

This is an easy chocolate cake recipe that requires no creaming and is one of the most forgiving in technique and measuring. It’s chocolatey and so moist it borders on fudgey, but still light and crumbed enough in texture to constitute a cake. In fact it’s so moist you...

Do-Si-Dos Pie

Sink your teeth into to some creamy peanut butter and chocolate mousse. Finding its way into that creamy note are some crushed Do-si-dos for a textural contrast. The other day I was reminded that bikini season is coming up. Coming up? Spring only just began. Shouldn’t I have two...
