Dessert Recipes

I recently hosted a baby shower for two friends, both of whom are having their second child. Both moms wanted something low key because it was their second child, but I couldn’t have a baby shower without a little bit of a theme. A teenie weenie little smidge of a theme was necessary to elevate …

Ready for a healthy treat that the whole family can enjoy? Whip up this chocolate avocado pudding in less than 5 minutes, let it sit overnight, and BOOM!, dessert is served! Now, a little side note … if you’re thinking this is gonna be a super rich “normal” type of pudding, this isn’t it. This …

I love baking homemade cookies. I decided to take my original chocolate chip cookie recipe and kick it up a few chocolate notches and add cocoa powder to make chocolate-chocolate chip cookies.  I have to admit this was my 6 year olds idea for our chocolate theme this month.  He would eat everything chocolate if …

I make cookies often because my husband eats cookies often. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with him and his cookie habits. I’m sure it will only get worse as my son gets older. I have always loved snicker doodles but sadly I don’t make them as often as I should. This is a fabulous …

Okay, lets get real. Getting your body back after you’ve just had a baby is really hard work. It can take a long time. But it CAN be done. After I gave birth to my son, I had a really hard time accepting my body for what it was. Nothing looked the same and I …

Remember the scones I mentioned last week when I was reminiscing about my baby shower? Well, I figured your mouth was watering (mine was!) so I whipped up a batch. I so wish I could sit down with you, a scone and a cup of decaf … meeting new mama friends is one of my …

Today I wanted to share my recipe for beautiful and fun Valentine’s Day cupcakes with you all. These are delicious red velvet cupcakes with pink vanilla frosting. I got into the spirit of love by decorating them with red sugar, heart sprinkles, and large conversation hearts. These would be fun to make for your children’s …

Acts of Kindness is so important right now. February has always been my favorite month. Maybe it’s because I am a sucker for love and could eat my weight in sweets? Or maybe it’s because my birthday is the day after Valentine’s Day so instead of being sad that the love, cards, and candy are …

One of my babies turned six last week! Yes, SIX! Where does the time go? Before I know it, I’m going to blink and be packing him up for college. *sniff sniff* Since I obviously can’t make time stand still, I make a huge deal out of birthdays. Streamers, balloons, cakes and the works. My …

I absolutely love grocery shopping. It’s kind of the highlight of my weeks.  Maybe it’s because I love to plan, make lists, cook, organize, and shop! I like staying really organized when I shop because when I’m not, I end up buying a cart full of donuts and ice cream and spending $300. Below, I’ve …

Since my son is only one years old, I’ve only thrown one birthday party for him so far. He will turn two in a few months and I’ve begun thinking of party themes for his birthday along with ideas of things all the little ones in attendance can do for fun while there. I think …

As I have mentioned before, I did a lot of baking over the holidays. Cake, cookies, bars and now bread. To be fair this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is what I would consider “dessert bread”. It’s not your typical sliced bread that you throw some lunch meat on and call it a day. …
