In the evening when my husband and I are relaxing after our little pumpkin goes to bed, we usually unwind by sitting on the couch and watching a little bit of TV. Whether it’s a movie, one of our favorite shows (that we pre-record to fast forward through the commercials), or something on one ofRead More
In college, I lived with my two best friends from high school. We loved to throw parties and gatherings on a regular basis…and let’s face it. We lived in Myrtle Beach and were in college…so pretty much all of our social gatherings included alcohol. Okay fine, so ALL of them included alcohol. Moving on. Well,Read More
Cinnamon buns. Everybody’s had ’em, and I don’t know a single person who doesn’t like ’em. But, not everybody can or wants to make them…but with this cake, you CAN. This is a very easy recipe, and it’s ten times less intimidating than actually making cinnamon buns from scratch. This is literally like eating a cinnamonRead More
A while back, I posted a status on Facebook, asking my friends for suggestions on what desserts to make. Bananas Foster was one of the ones that popped up, and I remember thinking, What is that?

When it comes to meatloaf, I’ve heard several reactions…mostly the famous, “Ewwww, meatloaf!!” And really what makes me quote is little Randy not wanting to eat his meatloaf and mashed potatoes in the movie “A Christmas Story.” Well, not in our house growing up. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. When our family gets together,Read More
The following cakes were made for wedding events…whether it was a cake for the groom, bride, bachelor/bachelorette party, bridal shower, or the actual wedding itself.

When it comes to girly froo-froo drinks, this definitely makes the top ten list…and for good reason. It’s fruity. It’s a martini. It’s a pretty color. That is a heck of a combination, and as one guy called it, “Yumdiddles!” Yes, yumdiddles indeed. This is definitely one of my favorite alcoholic beverages, but one thingRead More
Boston Crème Cupcakes. Deliciously moist yellow cupcakes with a vanilla custard center and topped with chocolate ganache. Hello, heaven. My young daughter kept coming into the kitchen while I was making these and asking, “Mommy, can I have a cupcake?” and I’d always reply, “Not yet sweet pea, they’re not finished.” She would then turn aroundRead More
