I have been seeing these Watermelon Cake posts all over Pinterest. I saw them an instantly wondered if they would turn out as awesome as suggested online. I had a strange feeling that the whipped cream wouldn’t adhere to the watermelon because of the fruit’s moisture. But, they were so darn cute and too well […]
My drop dead, all time favorite dessert of life is Tiramisu. Coffee, chocolate, and creamy layers of mousse. It’s an Italian classic and the final dish in our Italian Dinner Party Series. This No Bake Tiramisu is a light way to cap off a meal of Caesar Salad and Rolled Pizza Lasagna. Join me in […]

My friend Shana from Brilliant Sky Bakery asked me a few weeks ago when I was going to do a Passover recipe. My response, “I don’t know any Passover recipes.” So, guess who got herself volunteered to come make Chocolate Covered Toffee Matzah in my kitchen? Ask and ye shall receive. Shana is an expert […]
Why is it “Tres Leches?” That’s “Three Milks” en Espanol. In this recipe, similar to most traditional interpretations of the beloved Mexican dessert, those milks are sweetened condensed, evaporated and whole. Each milk imparts a unique characteristic. The sweetened condensed obviously has the sugar punch. The evaporated has that deep essence of dairy. Whole milk adds […]
Have you had McDonald’s Shamrock Shake? I remember getting so excited for March when I was a kid just so I could get one of those neon green, minty shakes. I was recently reminded of this annual tradition and figured it would be easy enough to replicate the recipe at home, though slightly better for […]
A picture is worth 1000 words, or in this case, 1000 batches of lemon tarts. As mentioned in prior recipes (Chicken Scaloppine, Arugula Citrus Salad) I’ve got a lemon tree (and a tangelo tree) that keeps on giving. Ryan claims expertise in lemon bars, so I set to work to fulfill his requirements for a […]
Chocolate covered cherries are a particular favorite around these parts. When inspiration struck to do a Valentine’s themed cookie, I had a jar of Maraschinos hanging out and some mini chocolate chips. Too, I’m a shortbread fanatic because the measurements are easy to memorize. 1 part sugar, 2 parts butter, 3 parts flour! Put it all […]
My BFF went to Hawaii over the holidays and came back raving about something called Hula Pie. Obviously, I had to figure out how to re-create this Hawaiian delight. I did change things up a little bit, using coffee ice cream instead of the original’s macadamia nut. But, I’m not going to lie, this pie is […]
I involve whipped cream in nearly every other dessert recipe that I make. Because, really, it’s one of life’s best simple pleasures. I have had a few folks commenting, though, that they haven’t made whipped cream before. I know a lot of us were raised on Reddi-Whip, but the real-deal, buttery stuff can’t be beat. […]
It was time to make something healthy for the kids, thus the inspiration for these Almond Joy Energy Bites. If you follow my recipes in any capacity, you’ll know that I have no problem with sugar and the occasional indulgent dish. But, the volume of cinnamon rolls, eggnog, cookies and candy that churned through our […]
My little buddy had been sick and wanted chocolate cake to cure his cough. A quick google search and I found a kid-friendly chocolate cake recipe that takes less than five minutes to make. We let the camera roll and tried our hands at Food Network’s Instant Chocolate Cake. Bear in mind, this is not the […]
