When it comes to sugar cookies, we are pretty picky around here. My sister makes a killer sugar cookie if you want a non-cream cheese version. I wanted to make sugar cookies with the kids and meant to email her for her recipe, but instead I decided to forage blindly ahead and try a variation…

Rachel’s Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
It was 5th grade. We were having a bake sale at school. My mom thought I should make the cookies myself. She gave me the recipe and I went to work. I watched the cookies bake in the oven and they grew larger and larger until they covered the entire pan. I took them out…
Easy Homemade Lemon Curd
We’ve been devouring this little treat for the past few days. I found some beautiful meyer lemons at Costco and couldn’t resist turning them into something yummy. We started out with a loaf of my very favorite homemade bread. It was heavenly smothered in this lemon curd. Between the four of us (2 adults, 2 small children),…
The Best Blackberry Cobbler (From Scratch)
I have hated cobbler my entire life. Until now. Suddenly I’ve made cobbler three times in the course of two weeks and all I want is more cobbler! Turns out I didn’t hate cobbler at all. I just hated the cake mix cobblers. This is such relieving news to me! This cobbler is made with…
Cookies and Cream Layered Dessert
We’ve been having a bit of a heat wave. It has been hot, humid, and miserable. So when I came home from sweating/playing at the park with my daughter and my sister announced she needed a dessert to take to work in an hour….well, I wasn’t about to bake a batch of cookies. A year…
Whipped Cream: Where Did I Go Wrong? Common mistakes when making your own whipped cream
I was making dinner at a family reunion when one of my cousins approached the kitchen with a cooking question. “So I was making whipped cream…” I already knew where he was going with it. He couldn’t get it to whip. Since there are a few common mistakes I went ahead and started my line…

Triple Threat Brownies – Oreo Fudge Brownies with Cookie Dough Frosting
When it comes to dessert making sometimes I just sit and think about how I can fit the most calories possible into one bite. Let me tell you friends, I don’t know how many calories these brownies have in each bite, but I’m guessing the number is frightfully high. Which means? These are some dang…
Easy Chocolate Terrine
Oh my goodness. Are you ready for a rich and decadent dessert? What if I told you that it was also gluten free? Ya, I know, you hear gluten free dessert and think it isn’t going to taste good, but you are totally wrong. I served this with a little homemade strawberry syrup and it…
