Sure, you can just buy a jar of hot fudge at the store, but what fun is that? Sometimes it’s just better to make things from scratch. It tastes better and you know exactly what is it in. That’s why today I’m showing you how to make homemade hot fudge yourself. It really is very …

How about a handheld apple pie? This recipe is super simple because I used a store bought pie crust to save myself time so I can eat these little yummy pies sooner!  Summer is here so I love going to the Farmer’s Market and picking up the freshest local produce available.  I picked up these apples on …

Strawberries! They are in season – hallelujah! We’ve been eating them by the pint … well, let’s be honest, by the flat and we’ll be heading out to u-pick soon to stock the freezer. Being high in fiber and vitamin C, I’m happy my kiddos love them and although they eat them plain, I often …

Growing up, Fruit Roll Ups were a staple in my house. With five kids, my mom used it as a go-to snack. It was easy, cheap, and hey, it had the word “fruit” in it. That makes it healthy, right? Well, not so fast. Those delicious peeled snacks may have fruit but how much sugar …

A couple weeks ago my family wanted me to make something different than chocolate chip cookies. They had requirements though. They wanted cookies and they wanted them to be as good as my chocolate chip cookies but they wanted something different. Yep, that is what they said. Ummm…okay. No pressure or anything. Since expectations were …

I’ve been on a cookie baking craze lately. Last week, I started with the Best, Most Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, and this week it’s all about the peanut butter cookie. These aren’t your typical peanut butter cookie that you throw together and criss cross the top with a fork. No these are special. These are …

I think everyone has had chocolate chip cookies at some point. Some of us have had more than others. 😉 We all have our favorite recipe whether it is from the back of the Nestle chocolate chip bag or from their great-grandmother’s recipe box. My favorite recipe is from trial and error. Since I was …

As a child, the only popsicles I ever ate were either Otter Pops or Jello Pudding Pops. While both of those are AMAZING in their own right (oh, Bill Cosby what I wouldn’t give for one of those vanilla/chocolate swirl treats right now) the notion that you could actually make your own never crossed my …

As a cook or a baker, many times things work out perfectly. The cake rises just enough. The frosting is the perfect consistency. The brownies were oh-so-gooey. Annnndddd… then there are other times. You have the best intention of creating a masterpiece and it sounds amazing in your head. Until you realize the finished product …

You all are in for a big treat today because I am sharing one heck of an amazing recipe! My husband doesn’t work in a typical office setting. He works outdoors all day so he isn’t able to store any lunches in a fridge and he can’t use a microwave to heat anything up. This …

It’s time for Pretzel Crusted Caramel Brownies. This weekend we have family coming into town for my daughter’s First Communion. Now, you know when my family gets together it means that I need to get my baking hat on and whip up some great desserts. I’ve already had some requests for the Pumpkin Crunch Cake …

It’s time for a Twix Brownie Recipe. This weekend we were invited to our neighbor’s house to hang out. Well, really they invited another couple over for the afternoon and they wanted us there to bring more conversation. You know, make it less awkward. We aren’t shy people so they figured we would come in …
