When I started experimenting with some Hawaiian style meals and desserts, I was so excited to try this recipe out. 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
Back in college, my friends and I went on our very first cruise. We were SO excited, even though we would literally only be on the boat for two nights…but the most exciting part was the fact that we were going to the Bahamas. When we started talking about taking our trip to the Bahamas,Read More
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
For dinner this evening, I’m doing a Hawaiian themed dinner…for the first time. I’m nervous, yet excited. Since this is experimental, there won’t be any decorations, music, or games this time…just a Hawaiian style menu. And since this is a first time theme with ALL experimental recipes, my guinea pigs are my family. Lucky them,Read More

Click HERE to watch the slideshow of this cake! Back in December, my aunt asked me if I could make a cake for a high school reunion that she was putting together. It was a 1950’s themed party for the classes of 1965-1970, and I was happy to do it. At first, the cake was goingRead More
For several months, I’ve had this idea for peanut butter cake pops lurking in my brain, just waiting for the opportunity to be tested. Well, this opportunity presented itself when I made some peanut butter icing for my chocolate peanut butter chip cupcakes…and I jumped all over it. Imagine a peanut butter cake pop withRead More
It seems like only yesterday when my sister-in-law was pregnant with my niece…and she turned 8 this year. I’m still in shock at how quickly the kids in our family are all growing up. This particular little girl LOVES going out to the family barn to ride horses, so when I received a phone callRead More
The last time I had a pound cake was earlier this year at a birthday party, and someone else had made it. It’d been so long since I had one, and since it was covered in icing and decorations, the flavor threw me off since I wasn’t expecting it…and it was delicious. When my husbandRead More
My dad is a HUGE fan of pretty much anything cherry, but especially cherry cheesecake. So when his birthday party came around this past year and I was deciding on menu items, this made the top of the dessert list. Well, along with his birthday cake, too. I don’t know what it is about bite size cheesecakes…maybeRead More
