To me there is no no use having a brownie if it isn’t fudgy. I don’t want a brownie to taste like cake, what is what cake is for…and well, I love cake but it has NO place in my brownies. These brownies are creamy, rich and fudgy and well, to tell the truth, they…

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dip
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups always remind me of Fall. It may be the orange package or it may be that as a kid we didn’t seem to have candy lying around all year long. I think my parents avoided the “candy aisle” in the grocery store as I DON’T recall seeing one….. I need to…
Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Filled Scones

Lavender Scones
Oh my goodness the temperature this morning was 65. I threw on a sweatshirt, knowing the cooler temperatures wouldn’t last long. They may not even last until noon. Nothing like heating up the oven and making a pot of tea to enjoy with some wonderfully delicious scones. Don’t get me wrong I love the hot…
Grilled Romaine, Chicken, Peaches and Blue Cheese Salad
Grab some peaches and start grilling them. They are so delicious hot off the grill, the sweetness of the peaches with blue cheese is wonderful. I love grilled salad. I often heat up my grill pan and in minutes, my meal is ready. Before winter creeps in be sure to try this! Speaking of winter……

Rocky Road Cookies
Today I’m sharing an “Appreciation Post” with you. ap·pre·ci·a·tion əˌprēSHēˈāSHən/ noun 1. the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something. I know my husband appreciates that I cook and bake. As the counters are typically full of food, food, food. My family isn’t going hungry anytime soon. I laugh when they say there…
Verde Chicken Risotto
Well it’s back to school around here and that means… crazy weeknight schedules… dinners need to be easy and loved by all. I think it’s funny when you have a conversation about something and then a day later it seems like your having the same conversation with someone else. That happened to me…
Spicy Yogurt Salad Dressing
Gone are the days of having a salad and it being some pieces of Iceberg Lettuce and offering no flavor or nutritional value. The exclusion there is a wedge salad with blue cheese, that is yummy. But I recall many times being served a so-so salad. No, I try to plan out my salad…
Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
I just love that the large warehouse stores sell the big clamshells full of blueberries. No dinky little clam shells, I have no use for those tiny things. I need the GIANT clam shells! And I usually pick up at least two of them every time I go. …Yes, I’m pretty obsessed with blueberries….
Vanilla Wedding Cake
I’m a hopeless romantic! I like all the gushy movies and can watch them over and over again. You can only imagine when someone tells me they are getting married how I might respond…. I offer to bring cake of course. It’s funny how my mind goes right to desserts, while the bride and groom…
