Oreo Cheesecake

There are so many things about my junior high school prom that I’ll never forget.  I’ve never been much of a fancy girl, but it was exciting to go hunting for a nice dress with my closest friends, and deciding on what jewelry we were going to wear, how our hair would be styled, who wasRead More

Ultimate Snickerdoodles

Before I really got into baking, every once in a while my husband would pick up a pack of the big, soft snickerdoodle cookies at the bakery in the grocery store…and they would only last a couple of days.  “Why do you get these?!”  I’d fuss at him, while stuffing yet another one in myRead More

French Toast Casserole

Here we go again, another sweet and delicious breakfast.  I’ve heard my mother-in-law talk about this dish on several occasions, going on about how delicious it was…so naturally, I had to give it a shot.  I made this during the same weekend of being in town with my cousins, and since there was a lotRead More

Homemade Lasagna

Over the weekend, my daughter and I took a trip to visit my parents.  My cousins were also visiting with their kids…so we had a total of 6 children between the ages of 1-8 all weekend.  It was…eventful, to say the least.  My favorite part of the weekend was just watching all of the kidsRead More

Pali Punch

When I made Hawaiian Chicken, this was the punch that went along with that meal.  Shoot, you can’t have a Hawaiian themed meal without the fruity, delicious punch, can you?  No!  My thoughts exactly.  While researching some different types of punch, the ingredients were what jumped out at me when it came to how IRead More

Breakfast Pizza

On the weekends, I always make something good for breakfast.  Usually, it’s fluffy pancakes, but it’s nice to mix it up every once in a while.  Ooh, like those red velvet waffles.  Those were delicious, too.  This was something I’d been wanting to try out for a while, and super glad that it made itRead More

Tiramisu Trifle

As I’ve mentioned before, I love trifles.  They look elegant sitting in that trifle dish all layered and put together, and there hasn’t been one yet that didn’t taste delicious that I’ve come across.  While I was talking to my mother-in-law on Friday, we were planning the menu out for Mother’s Day on Sunday.  SheRead More

Candy Sushi

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO OF HOW TO MAKE CANDY SUSHI! Candy Sushi…who knew?  Really!  A good friend that I grew up with had a birthday dinner party last night at a sushi restaurant, and she had asked me a while back if I could make the cake.  When I talked to her earlierRead More

Alice In Wonderland Birthday Party

Behind every cake, there’s a story…well, for me at least.  Behind this cake, there are several stories.  In fact, I’m still trying to recover from lost sleep over the weekend.  But overall, I was very happy with the end result of how all the goodies turned out. The goodies for this themed birthday party wereRead More
