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
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
Medical School Graduation Cake
Nine years ago, I met my future in-laws, without really knowing it at the time. Among those in-laws included one of my husband’s cousins, who was a senior in high school at the time. He wanted to be a doctor, but still had another year of high school to finish up before heading off to college. EvenRead 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
