Rested Batter Pancakes
This diner I used to go to had the most fluffy, melt in your mouth pancakes I’ve ever had. I tried a lot of methods to recreated them. Like whipping […]
Sweets & Desserts
Lime Charlotte
This is a delicious Mexican icebox cake called “Carlota de Limón” which translates to “Charlotte from Lemon”. I’ve seen it made with lemons or limes, or a mixture of the […]
Not Fried, Fried Ice Cream
It’s a lot like fried ice cream without the deep frying. It’s very delicious, and it makes a great summer dessert. Plus, it’s so much easier than the actual fried […]
Raspberry Coconut Poke Cake
Everyone kept posting this recipe for a raspberry zinger cake, so I tried it. It was a package of cake mix, a package of raspberry jello, a jar of jam, […]
Rice Pudding
I know a lot of people don’t like rice pudding. Me personally, I could eat leftover warm rice for dessert with just a bit of sugar and milk, and I […]
Chocolate Pudding Pie
This pie is so chocolatey and delicious. It’s also really easy to make, except it is a bit of an arm work out. I think it’s totally worth the effort […]
Carrot & Apple Snack Cake
My family’s original recipe for carrot cake called for carrot baby food. When I moved overseas I could not find carrot baby food so I started making the cake by […]
Boston Eclair Cupcake Pies
I could not make my mind up between calling these Tiny Boston Cream Pies or Chocolate Eclair Cupcakes, so I didn’t. These lovely little vanilla cakes are filled with vanilla […]
Gianormous Peanut Butter Cake
If you are in need of a gianormous tasty cake that will feed a crowd, this is definitely a cake to consider. Especially for peanut butter people. I mean people […]
Vanilla Slice Cake
For most of my life nearly everyone I knew made strawberry shortcake in exactly the same way. They got some strawberries, cut them up, poured a ton of sugar on […]
Black Bean Chocolate Cake with (optional) Chocolate Avocado Frosting
I know it sounds really weird, especially with the frosting being made of avocados! Despite the name and ingredients, it tastes like a somewhat dense chocolate cake. It’s also got […]
Spiced Walnuts
These are so good I could eat them until I feel sick! They are extremely easy to make, and aside from needing help with the hot oven and pan, they […]
Whole Grain Rice Pudding
I know brown rice isn’t for everyone, but I really like it. When I was a kid I put butter, sugar, and milk in the leftover brown rice and ate […]
Blueberry “Cheesecake” Froyo
This homemade frozen yogurt fits well with our “healthy but still having some desserts” lifestyle. It doesn’t actually have any cheese in it at all, it gets its cheesecake flavor […]
Breakfast Parfaits
These pretty breakfast parfaits are layered with Greek yogurt and granola so they make a substantial and filling morning meal. You can serve them in dessert glasses, or a mason […]
Fauxix Bars
Pronounced “foe-wix”, you know, like fake twix? These are so easy to make. Really, the hardest part about this recipe is unwrapping all those caramels. Yes, I use store-bought caramels. […]
Real Strawberry Gelatin
This lovely deep red dessert is beautiful to look at and smells amazing. With a dollop of whipped cream, it’s everything a summer dessert should be without all the junk […]
No Cooking Cookies
These cookies are not too sweet and not too terribly unhealthy either. With no cooking necessary (melting doesn’t count as cooking!). They are a really great recipe for kids to […]
Summer Pudding
If you’re from the USA you most likely wouldn’t picture bread soaked with berry juice as a pudding. Being from the USA myself I found the idea of this British […]
Pineapple No Cherries Upside-Down Cake
When I was a kid, I had mixed feelings about the traditional pineapple upside-down cake. I mean, it’s cake, right? It’s hard for me not to like a cake, and […]
Low-Fat Crunchy Granola
I love granola, but the store bought stuff always has so much fat and salt in it. Plus, it’s expensive. Making it is super easy, takes less than an hour […]
Angel Food Cake
When it comes to relatively guilt free cake, Angel Food has got to be a number one contender. It’s fat-free and very versatile. My mother used to make a version […]
Baked Buttermilk Donuts with Strawberry Glaze & Sprinkles
These aren’t just muffins baked in a donut pan. Even though they are not a traditional fried donut, whipping the egg whites gives them a lovely light texture, and even using frozen […]
Dark Chocolate Raspberry Heart Brownies
These dark chocolate brownies are not overly sweet, but they are very chocolatey and fudgy, with nice crisp edges. At their heart, partially melded with the brownie is a little pocket […]
Old-Fashion Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This recipe makes cookies that taste like the cookies I hated when I was a kid… Seriously, I hated them! I never liked raisins or molasses until I was an adult. […]
Quick Easy Waffles
So why are these “easy” waffles? NO WHIPPING EGG WHITES! I am not a fan of elaborate recipes first thing in the morning. I don’t want to be separating eggs, […]
Sweet Potato Pie
In my family, we have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. We always have and probably always will. However, when I was living abroad canned pumpkin was difficult to find and a […]
