This Italian Cream Cake is one of those truly special desserts that looks impressive but is actually very straightforward to put together. We’re talking moist, tender layers packed with shredded coconut and chopped pecans, all frosted with a rich and dreamy cream cheese frosting. It’s […]
Today I show you how to prepare a delicious and easy bread pudding. It is a delicious and very creamy dessert that also looks beautiful on the table, you can make it for a celebration perfectly or for a snack with a coffee. It is […]
No reason why a crazy chocolate muffin shouldn’t be the main event for brunch. After all, it’s got all the elements of a fine breakfast. There’s banana, yogurt, orange juice, dark chocolate, coffee and even chopped pecans. Double chocolate banana muffins are a pretty hearty […]

The Chew is having a contest to “find the next Weight Watchers chef”. Last week on the show, two contestants for the Weight Watchers contest made breakfast recipes and my favorite was “Seasonal Fruit Salad with Yogurt Sauce” by Lisa Fontanesi. My fruit salad ended […]
I’m honestly not sure what the regional distribution is for Shopper’s Food Warehouse…but this was my mom’s go-to grocery store (and still is). And the only reason I even remember it is the doughnut display. I mean HOLY COLOSSAL DOUGHNUTS. No, really, that’s what they were called. […]
Once you’re known as a food blogger (among friends and family at least) you can never again show up at a potluck or barbeque with a non-dish. A non-dish includes chips, soda, and nonedibles (i.e. paper plates and plastic cutlery). It’s a bit annoying when […]
The very first lemon meringue pie that our oldest daughter ate was prepared by her lemon-loving grandmother. In their house, if something wasn’t made with mayonnaise, it was at least prepared with lemon. Oh. Wait. Isn’t there lemon in mayonnaise? That would be two for […]
Even if you forget to put sugar in these muffins, people will eat them (I may have done that once). Though that may tempt you, don’t skip the sugar – there isn’t much and it makes a difference. Perhaps some people (who are not me) […]

Need a crazy good holiday breakfast recipe? If you miss Krispy Kreme, you might find these kind of the same only different. The dough is not as light, and they are baked, not fried, but they are so very similar to that Krispy Kreme flavor […]
My rich and fudgy grain free brownies are 100% flour free – meaning you won’t find anything like almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe! So what other ingredients can you make grain free brownies out of, you ask? NOT BLACK BEANS, you guys! Not that […]
Lemon is so refreshing! When I start thinking about desserts for spring and summer, my mind naturally goes to lemon. It just seems right. I was a little late to the lemon dessert game. Treats made with chocolate, mint or berries tended to capture my […]
It may be nearing August but we still have another month of delicious summer BBQs and campfires to look forward to this year. If you didn’t quite make it out camping, we’ve got the next best thing: 30 minute S’mores Casserole, topped with salted caramel! The […]
