This was probably the very first Pioneer Woman recipe I ever made. Though I believe it has been around in church potlucks for about 15 years or however long Pillsbury has been churning out crescent dough. 🙂 I can’t believe I never posted it before, but I made this way back in 2008 when I …
Pin this for use around Valentine’s Day! This glaze was used on a 9″ round chocolate cake from the super duper moist cake recipe that I cut in half. My husband is trying to lose weight and instead of trying to substitute low fat items in a cake, I simply reduced the calories in the …
Bread pudding seems to be making a come back in many restaurants. Once seen perhaps as something made of leftovers, it is usually elevated with a boozy sauce on top to create a dreamy and creamy dessert. Since I love french toast, I naturally love bread pudding, too. I tried a caramel apple bread …
I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I picked up “Holes” by Sachar to add to my YA reading list. Between YA books, I have been reading “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” by Thomas Foster. Boy, where was THAT book when I needed it ten years ago? It sums up pretty much every …
Happy Birthday! My baby boy turns 6 today. <sniff sniff> I really like this age and wish he could stay this way forever sometimes. Kids are so optimistic and full of energy. He had his class party on Friday and that was really fun. We threw snowballs at a homemade cardboard snowman (thank you Costco …

Yesterday, we had church, and then a lego birthday party and then a Christmas party. Last year was the famous Angry Birds party which is usually one of the most popular posts on here. He requested the same chocolate cake and I made it into cupcakes instead. Make sure if you make the cupcakes to …
Most of us here in St. Louis are very familiar with ooey gooey butter cake. It is a dense layer of yellow cake underneath a luscious gooey layer of cream cheese. Very easy to make and this one is, too! I found this recipe was really good the same day, but even better when refrigerated and eaten …
Leave it to America’s Test Kitchen to make the quintessential sugar cookie. These remind me of the sugar cookies you buy in bakeries – buttery, sweet and chewy in the center with a little crunch on the outsides. Sugar Cookies yield 2 dozen 2 cups sugar 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking …
I feel like I should have tons of recipes this time of year and I have so little in my stash to blog about! Like most of us, I make the same staples each year including gingerbread men, fudge, shortbread, etc. that people expect and I throw in a new recipe every now and then. …
