I love the sound of this name…caramel macchiato. Sounds elegant and delicious. I’ve heard people mention this in a way that just makes it sound yummy…maybe it’s just the tone in their voices because they love it so much. Either way, I had to try it…and was quite impressed myself. When it comes to making cupcakesRead More

Cherry Cobbler
Ahh, yes…another cobbler. Peach will actually be the next flavor, and my husband is super excited about it. My parents came in town to visit, so I wanted to make this while they were here, since they love cherries. They were my guinea pigs, and seemed pretty happy about it. In fact, both of myRead More
Double Peanut Butter Brownies
Well, if you’re a true peanut butter addict, look no further. Stop what you’re doing, go to the store and get the ingredients for these bad boys, because they are ridiculously peanut buttery and perfect. The first time I made these was several years ago. One of my friends doesn’t like chocolate…GASP (I know, it freaked meRead More
White Almond Cake with Bavarian Cream Filling and White Truffle Icing
Oh wow, I think I just gained 5 pounds from reading the title of this cake out loud…add another five pounds to that from looking at the pictures, and maybe a few more on top for eating a big slice of this rich yumminess. Yep, fat and happy now! It’s so worth it. I can’tRead More
Homemade Peach Ice Cream
Peach season has arrived! Anytime the subject of peaches comes up, my husband always talks about two recipes that he grew up enjoying that his Nana made…peach ice cream and peach cobbler. We went to a local produce stand and stocked up on peaches, and he went to the store and bought an ice creamRead More
Jumbo Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcakes
After experimenting with the layered chocolate cheesecake cake, I decided to use a different flavor and put them into a jumbo cupcake size. Sounds like a good plan, right? I agree. From getting other people’s opinions, one of the most liked flavors that I hear people melt when this flavor is mentioned, is red velvet. Read More
Tiramisu Cheesecake
As I’ve mentioned before, my husband’s family is a bunch of tiramisu junkies. If you want to see several of them drool at the mention of food, just say the word around them. Sometimes it’s just fun to say. I actually made this for our 5th anniversary…the timing was perfect. The hubster loved it, andRead More
Banana Pudding
In my family, we call this “Nanner Puddin.” Don’t forget the Southern twang with that phrase, too. My brother and I are goofy though, since neither one of us likes chunks of banana in our pudding…so I had to get creative. I knew that just using banana flavored pudding mix wouldn’t be good enough, soRead More
Blondies
I’ll never forget the first time I had a blondie. A group of us had gone out to eat at a chain restaurant, and I was flipping through the dessert menu…and there it was. A blonde brownie topped with chocolate ice cream and caramel sauce. Holy cow, I have to get that I thought toRead More
White Chocolate Macademia Nut Cookies
A couple of weeks ago, I took an Oreo pie over to some family friends of my parents. We were chit chatting about different dessert recipes, and she said, “I have something for you.” She walked into the kitchen and came back, holding a can of Macademia nuts from Hawaii. I stared at them inRead More
