Ahhh, turtles. No, not the animal…but the dessert. Although, the animals are cute too. I always knew the combination of turtles, but didn’t officially know the name of them until several years ago when a good friend told me how much she loved turtles…that’s when I realized that I loved them too, just didn’t knowRead More

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
As a kid, I remember lurking in the kitchen while my mom was baking cookies. At every chance I got, my little finger would go digging in the bowl with cookie dough, then get shooed away by my mom. “That goes in the oven, not in your mouth!” I’d giggle and turn around to walkRead More
Peanut Butter Protein Cupcakes
What? Yep, that’s right. These cupcakes have protein powder in them! Protein builds muscles, muscles eat fat…nuff said. This has definitely been a trial and error situation with these cupcakes. The first batch was so awful that I took a bite, said, “Bleh!” and threw all two dozen of them away. The second batch wasRead More
White Chocolate Caramel Latte Cupcakes
When I came across a recipe using Coffee-Mate’s White Chocolate Caramel Latte creamer…I loved it. I did made a few changes to the recipe that I found to give it a little more of a kick with the flavors, and it turned out delicious! I’ve made cupcakes with caramel and chocolate, chocolate and coffee, butRead More
Caramel Apple Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing
Now that’s a mouthful…literally! These cupcakes combine the flavors of caramel, apple and cinnamon. I was wondering how the cupcakes were going to turn out, telling myself after they came out of the oven, “I should’ve put cinnamon in the batter. Oh well, I’ll put it in the icing this time and see how it turnsRead More
Chocolate Caramel Delight Cupcakes
There’s a word I could use to describe these cupcakes, and that word is…wow. Just, wow. They just might be my new favorite. When I dumped the caramel cake mix into the bowl before the mixing process, I smelled it. Didn’t smell anything. As in, anything. But, after adding the other ingredients and mixing itRead More
Sour Apple Cupcakes
Sour apple cupcakes. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s sparked your curiosity, right? Well, it certainly got mine when I started brainstorming a recipe for these guys. It’s definitely not your “typical” cupcake flavor, but hey…sometimes it’s kinda nice to step out of the box of what’s normal. 😉 The icing also has aRead More
Peanut Buttery Heaven Cupcakes
As I was thinking of a name to call these deliciously peanut butter cupcakes, the word heaven popped into my head. Why? Because that’s what my kitchen smelled like while these little guys were baking in the oven. My family is a bunch of peanut butter fanatics, so I can’t wait to let my brotherRead More
S’mores Cupcakes
So, I’ve had regular s’mores, the pop tart flavor, and created my own little s’mores candy bar… So why not make it into a cupcake? Great idea!! These chocolate cupcakes have mini marshmallows baked inside, along with a graham cracker crumble on top, then covered with chocolate marshmallow creme icing. Then of course, topped withRead More
Brownie Cookies
These cookies are a great combination of cookie and brownie texture. Super, super yummy. My father-in-law’s birthday is coming up, and he loves any dessert with nuts in it. I tell him that he is what he eats. 😉 The last time I made these, it was just with nuts in them. This time, IRead More
