Dessert Recipes

I’m also looking for easy, yummy snacks in the summer. A couple weeks ago I featured our Strawberry Chocolate Pudding Parfaits and today I want to share a super easy banana version. My kids LOVE this snack/dessert. I love how easy it is to make and that I don’t have to actually cook anything. I …

It’s time for a good, old Sugar Cookie Summer Berry Crisp. Recently I found myself with a tube of pre-made sugar cookie dough and no idea what to do with it. I needed it to test a recipe for an assignment but ended up going another way so it was left unused. I’m a bake …

Graham crackers are a childhood snack staple. Kids love them and parents feel good about indulging because they are healthy and seem like a more sensible option than let’s say, an Oreo cookie. On the surface, store bought graham crackers may seem healthy and a great snack to feed you little ones but upon closer …

It was Mother’s Day this past weekend and I was baking again. I wanted to mix it up and do a little cheesecake to celebrate such a big day – celebrating moms and all! I have seen Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars before but it wasn’t enough to make it exactly according to the recipe. I …

Let’s just put it out there. I clearly love peanut butter. My heart goes out to all those who have peanut allergies because I bake with peanut butter A LOT! Sorry, today is another peanut butter dessert – Homemade Nutter Butter Cookies. Cookies were my first baking love all the way back to age three. …

My peanut butter and chocolate obsession continues. Last time it was my Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls and this time it’s a brownie treat. A few weeks ago I decided to whip this concotion up. Who doesn’t love a peanut butter cookie crust, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup surrounded by moist brownie and a rich peanut …

I was trying to think of something yummy to make for my family over Easter weekend because when we are all together it is the perfect opportunity to have an audience to ohhh and awww over my baked goods. Plus, it is more people to actually eat the desserts instead of my husband and I …

In honor of Easter this weekend, I made the yummiest carrot cake that I know of. Carrot cake is Easter-y, right? It’s made with carrots. Bunnies like carrots. The Easter bunny is…well…a bunny. He must love carrot cake. It all makes sense to me. If you want to check out our Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cake …

Important note: This is NOT a Passover recipe!  This is an incredibly delicious recipe that HAPPENS to be kosher for Passover.  Don’t run away! Why the warning?  Passover desserts are generally not good.  For those who choose to observe Passover by eliminating all leavened foods for the eight-day holiday, you know that making baked goods …

It’s time for another decadent dessert – Pretzel Crusted Double Chocolate Caramel Cookies. With all my baking lately, my family is starting to get in on the action. Before they were all about the eating, but now they are helping me choose what to come up with next. While I was visiting my family last …

Let me start by saying, I’m a boxed cake kind of gal!  Actually when it comes to cakes and brownies, I rarely make ’em from scratch. A boxed mix is just too easy! After seeing this Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Cream Frosting from Bon Appetit, I thought I would venture outside of my comfortable cake …

You know that moment in the World Series where one team realizes it just won?  That final catch or the walk-off homerun or the last strike?  Some guys run around like lunatics… others fall to their knees… mouths gaping, shouting for victory… you know what I’m talking about?  Yeah… I feel that way when I …
