Smores Gooey Butter Bars

Smores Gooey Butter Bars-8

Tonight my patience was tested, and I am sad to say that it didn’t win. If my patience had won, these would be much prettier, but I wouldn’t have gotten this recipe typed up tonight. I was sitting here at the table and looked down at my sidekick. Yep, it was time. Neither of us [...]

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Mother’s Day is this weekend, and my kids have already started asking me what I want. I love putting my feet up in the morning and enjoying my cup of coffee and a nice piece of coffee cake on the front porch.  There is a nest of baby birds in the palm tree in the [...]

Dulce De Leche Cookies

Dulce De Leche Cookies

I have been wanting cookies for days.  I guess I was just too lazy to get in the kitchen and make them happen. Cinco De Mayo is this weekend so I thought I would stick with that theme and make these decadently sinful Dulce De Leche Cookies. The cookies are a shortbread type and the [...]

Key Lime Pound Cake

Key Lime Pound Cake

Cinco de Mayo is coming up and it was time to whip up a dessert with a little kick.  This baby isn’t your typical pound cake, it is a Key Lime Pound Cake.  The citrus smell is intoxicating as it pours out of  the oven.  I wish I could bottle the smell in my kitchen [...]

Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

The best Saturday mornings are the ones that start with the smell of Cinnamon floating through the house.  Atleast, in my opinion. It always makes getting out of bed a little easier.  Today, I made a twist on the traditional Cinnamon rolls, and I am so glad I took the time to experiment.  These Strawberry [...]

2 Ingredient Strawberry Banana Ice Cream

Right before we moved from Iowa I ran to the grocery store and hit the deal seekers jackpot. I full bag of ripe ORGANIC bananas for $0.99! Now most people would think that they couldn’t use that many bananas at once. I knew exactly what to do with them. I typically use them for banana [...]

Easter Jello Eggs

Easter Jello Eggs

The kids and I had a blast today.  It is Spring Break and so very chilly outside. So we had plenty of time to mess up this old kitchen with jello. LOTS and LOTS of Jello. We giggled and wiggled and jiggled.  I think most of our fun can from making up “iggle” words. I [...]

Mint Chip Brownie Bites

Mint Chip Brownie Bite 1

St Patrick’s Day is this weekend and we wanted to make something GREEN and yummy! The kids jumped in the kitchen and gave me a hand. So, I asked them what they wanted to make. The Answer: BROWNIES! Hmmm….Green and brownies are a hard combo to achieve, unless you do what we did and turn them [...]

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie 2

This is an exciting week at my house.  My Hubby’s Birthday is Sunday and mine is soon to follow on Wednesday.  My Hubby isn’t a picky guy. He loves any cake or sweet treat I whip up in the kitchen.  I, on the other hand, am a lover of all things Strawberry and Chocolate.  When [...]
