Tiramisu

The 5th grade teachers planned a little pot-luck lunch this past Friday, and the theme started as Italian so I thought a tiramisu would be a good dessert to bring.  This Italian theme changed to salads (pasta salad, fruit salad, etc.) but I had my heart set on tiramisu, so I stuck with it.  [...]

Chocomallow Krispies

What can you do with $0.68 clearance chocolate flavored bag of marsh- mallows?  Chocolate Rice Krispies, of course.  I had to buy two bags of these when I saw them at Target.  I knew that I was going to make Krispy Treats the moment I saw these Chocomallows.  But how was I going to [...]

An Apple Cupcake a Day...

I received a cookbook a few months ago, Little Cakes from the Whimsical Bakehouse, that has some of the cutest little cakes and cupcakes I’ve ever seen. However, most of them require an incredible amount of time, experience and ingredients.  I found these popcorn ones to be especially cute.  You actually have to make the [...]

Candy Corn Kisses and Halloween Dreams

Imagine my surprise as I walk to the checkout at Target (arms loaded with goodies since I refused to get a basket thinking that would keep me from over shopping…silly me) and I see a special on Hershey’s Kisses.  I approach the display and see the original Milk Chocolate Kisses, Milk Chocolate with Almonds and [...]

Coconut Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

Being a lover of coconut, I have been wanting to find a coconut cupcake recipe for a while now.  I found two recipes that sounded equally delicious, how is a girl to choose?  I chose based on the fact that I had all the ingredients for one recipe, and not for the other! I [...]

Accidental Peach Cobbler

I bought peaches for a dinner party a few nights ago.  My plan was to cut them in half, remove the pit, sprinkle with some brown sugar, broil them and serve with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream…tada!  The easiest dessert next to scooping ice cream from a carton into a bowl!  I will have [...]

Dinner Party

What I had envisioned as a quiet evening for two became a dinner party for 6 in about half an hour this past Sunday evening. When I am having people over for dinner I like to put quite a bit of planning and thought in to the meal. However, as of noon on Sunday [...]

ICanHasCheezburger…Rediscovered

I came across this site again today after many months of neglecting it.  Here are a few of the ones that made me laugh out loud.  Can anyone explain to me why exactly I find these so humorous?  I don’t think I would find it as funny if the cats were replaced with dogs.  I [...]
