It’s a little different than the original recipe that I found and made, but the end result was much better than expected. This pie was actually a second try. The first time I made it,Read More

Pumpkin Bread
A year and a half ago around the holidays, someone asked me if I had ever made a pumpkin loaf before. I told her no, but that I wanted to try it out…and completely forgot. Well, my best friend’s sister came in town to visit, and she was hoping to get some sort of goodiesRead More
Yummy Goodies in New York City
Over the weekend, my husband and I went to New York City for the first time. At first I was a little overwhelmed, but quickly adapted and was amazed at how wonderful and different it was.

Homemade Mocha Hot Chocolate
Every once in a while, I get a craving for hot chocolate. Takes me back to my young, spring chicken days of drinking hot chocolate with tons of mini marshmallows packed in there, always asking for more because there never seemed to be enough. Although it’s summertime, that craving still peeks its head around theRead More

When it comes to red velvet, it seems to be a very popular flavor…and to the ones who love it, they don’t just love it. They adore it. Obsess over it. Worship it. Okay fine, so maybe not worship, but I’ve noticed that when the flavor is even mentioned around some people, I can almostRead More

If you’re thinking “Hey, is she making a lot of cheesecakes lately?” by looking at Facebook and some of the recent posts, the answer is Yes. Actually, Heck Yes. I’ve been a huge fan of cheesecakes throughout my life, and up until recently, I’d never made a REAL one from scratch. I learn something newRead More
Red Velvet Oreo Truffle Brownie Bars
If you think the title is a mouthful, wait until you sink your teeth into one of these bad boys. There are so many food bloggers out there. So. Freaking. Many. Every once in a while, I’ll come across one that I really like. I like the person writing it and their recipes, so I’llRead More
Homemade Baked Chicken Alfredo
When it comes to sauces, I’m a bit of an alfredo sauce junkie. Maybe it’s the garlic. Or the parmesan. Or the fact that it’s a cream sauce. Quite possibly though, it’s all of the above…and that’s just fine with me. I’ve been searching for a really good homemade sauce that I can make inRead More
