I’ve been cooking oven fries so long and I’ve done them in so many different ways that I was shocked that I didn’t post a blog about each of them.! Maybe, though, that was because I was waiting for a really great recipe to come […]

Apple Pie Bread Pudding
While flipping through the channels one evening, James asked if there was a show on Food Network dedicated to dessert. I told him that there was not. Strange thing happened shortly thereafter. Dessert First was introduced! I think he is a little psychic or something. […]
Banana Pudding Cake
The cake is dense and super moist, topped with vanilla bean whipped cream. On top of that are little bites of amazingly flavorful vanilla wafers that have been coated in a brown sugar mixture to make a toffee and then baked until crisp. You had […]
Lemon Loaf Recipe
I saw this very recently over at Cook Like a Champion and the only thing that stopped me from making it that day was that I was almost out of sugar (the horror). I definitely picked up sugar during my weekly grocery store trip and […]
White Texas Sheet Cake
Everyone thinks of chocolate cake when they think of a Texas sheet cake, but I decided to make a white version with white chocolate chips sprinkled on top. It’s a quick and easy white cake recipe and you don’t even need to use a blender. […]
Lightened-Up Carrot Cake
So I made this carrot cake lighter with some simple swaps. You won’t BELIEVE how moist, fluffy and SCRUMPTIOUS this spicy
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie is a classic comfort food that has always been one of my top favorites. This recipe is so savory and flavorful. Juicy chicken mixed with your favorite vegetables and gravy, all within a delicious crispy crust- YUM! Cook the filling slowly and […]
Cream Pie Poke Cake
What we don’t bicker over is cake. We love the stuff in this household, and this Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake was a real winner in this house. It starts with yellow cake mix. Throw it in a pan and bake it up like you […]
S’mores Hershey Cupcakes
If you have young children, be aware that the first few days after a child’s birthday can be quite difficult. Of course, since it is impossible for everyone to come on the day you have planned, you can’t do anything but prepare for a few […]
Janet Blueberry Zucchini Bread Recipe
Without question, this blueberry and zucchini bread recipe was the favourite. It is so popular that my zucchini supplier informed me that he will be adding blueberries to my weekly delivery so that I can bring this bread to the office daily. So, if there […]
Banana Pudding Poke Cake (light)
A quick, easy and light cake is what I was looking for today. And here it is. My banana pudding poke cake. I had some banana pudding left over and found it too boring to just eat it out of a bowl. So I made […]
Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Ah, chicken breasts. How many ways can we cook it before we get tired of it?! Well, I was trying to use leftovers in the fridge tonight (especially the black olives and parmesan from pizza night!) and I came up with this recipe. My husband […]

SALTED CARAMEL ‘DING DONG’ CHOCOLATE CAKE
I’m not a big fan of regular old cake, but these are amazing! I found that once I had the ganache mixed up, putting it back in the microwave for 15-20 minutes made it a little easier to spread over the top and down the […]
Janet Strawberry Pie Recipe
Many people claim that apple pie is the all-American dessert, but I disagree. I’m sure that strawberry pie also has its place in American history. When I was little, my mother would take my siblings and I to a local strawberry field to pick berries. […]
