These Mint Cookies & Cream Bars start with a cake mix and are loaded with chopped cookies and candies. Perfect for tucking into lunchboxes!! So, I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned to you that my almost 16 month old daughter is still not walking. It frustrates and...

Caramel and marshmallow combine to make the perfect brownie topping!! A layer of Rice Krispies gives these Marshmallow Caramel Krispie Brownies a nice crunch, creating a bar dessert you’ll find yourself making again and again. Can we have a discussion about what these...

Chocolate “Bumpy” Cake — a Detroit favorite you can make at home. Moist chocolate cake and buttercream “bumps” covered in poured fudge frosting makes a decadent crowd pleaser!! I’m going to ask you to drop what you’re doing and make this...

It’s no secret that I am a huge mint chocolate anything fan. Except pork chops.  Mint chocolate pork chops might be weird. Last year I created a Mint Chocolate Chip frosting that is so good — it tastes just like the ice cream!!  I loved it slathered on a cake, but...

Are these little guys gorgeous or what? I don’t know if Whoopie Pies are a big thing anymore.  They were the IT dessert a couple years ago, but seem to have been since replaced by pies stuffed into cakes and croissant donuts and all sorts of crazy nonsense. Regardless...

I have to tell you, I’m at an impasse of sorts when it comes to adorable food. My nine year old son is too cool for cute food.  He wears basketball shorts to bed now (what is the point of shorts when they come halfway down your calves, they’re basically PANTS) instead...

This Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake has strawberry cake layers filled with chocolate ganache frosting and topped with light whipped cream. It’s the perfect finish to Valentine’s Day — or any day!! How do you feel about Valentine’s Day? Personally, I...

These Peanut Butter Twix Cookies are HANDS DOWN one of the BEST cookies I’ve ever eaten. Buttery shortbread is topped with melted caramel, creamy peanut butter, and coated in melted chocolate. You need these in your life!! It’s a very rare occasion that I say,...

I have something important to tell you.  Something you probably don’t even know. Tomorrow is National Blonde Brownie Day. That’s right — a whole day dedicate to Blonde Brownies. To be clear, blonde brownies are not brownies in the chocolate sense.  They are more...

Brownies!!! Brownies are one of my all time favorite things, and these brownies are NO JOKE.  Fudgy homemade brownies topped with strawberry buttercream and chocolate ganache — these are serious Valentine’s Day Business. Or Thursday Business. Or Friday night while you...

This copycat of Cracker Barrel’s famous Double Fudge Coca Cola Cake is every bit as good as it looks!! I don’t know how you feel about Cracker Barrel restaurant, but around here, they are a whole big thing. I know that not all of you have a Cracker Barrel.  I grew up...

I know that people like to say that children should come with instruction manuals, but I think they should come with 18 years of free therapy and a lifetime supply of white wine. KIDS. ARE. SO. HARD. Every age they are, I think the next age will be easier. Spoiler Alert:  It...

So listen. Brownies are nothing new.  I know this. But — they are one of the world’s most famous desserts for a reason.  They’re sturdy, simple, and delicious. And chocolate. Did I mention chocolate? This year, I am making them extra fun and festive by gift...

If you are not a fan of frosting, these cookies are not for you. My son is not a fan of frosting.  I honestly don’t understand it.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a thin layer of frosting, a poured frosting or a bubblegum frosting — he doesn’t want it....
