Summer Berries and Cream means mouthwatering berry de-light! I really love blueberries. We just recently planted a few blueberry bushes that are starting to produce. They take many years to really get to a nice size (about 5 ft tall) where they produce thousands of berries. Until then, we will continue to get excited over...
A lot of the name brand marshmallows out there have a lot of ingredients that I don’t care for, like gmo-corn in 500 different forms and food coloring. We were getting ready to go camping so of course we needed marshmallows to cook at the fire. I had the time and we went ahead and...
Monkey Bread is such a delicious treat for breakfast, tea, or any ‘ol time. Making Monkey Bread from Scratch is kind of a rarity today, though. If you look for recipes online you will find plenty that are made from pre-made raw dough which is full of food coloring (yes, a lot have that lovely...
I guess when I made this Crumb Cake Recipe I referred to it throughout the day as multiple things. Finally, my son asked me, “What is it? Crumb Cake, Coffee Cake, or Spice Cake?” It is what it is. Though I’m sure there is someone out there with a perfect definition of the differences, I...
I obviously like to keep things simple; simple and homemade as much as possible. So you know that when I tell you these chocolate cupcakes are easy, that I am being serious. When you see them with the Easter decorations they look like they are so difficult, yet were so fun and easy. and the...
I call these the ultimate earthquake cookies because they have double the chocolatey goodness by being a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips. They also have a double sugar coating too, being rolled in granulated sugar and then in confectioner’s sugar. So yes, these sugar bombs are sugar filled! We have them around Christmas when we...
This truly is an easy apple pie recipe. It is made from scratch, yet is still easy and great for a crowd. Why is it easy? Because you don’t have to mess with making a picture perfect pie topper, the dish ends up helping it all come together beautifully. It’s great for a crowd –...
These Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies look a lot more difficult to make than they really are. I use real peanut butter, without all the sugar and hydrogenated oils, but you can use whatever you like for this recipe. You can also use homemade chocolate chips or store bought. I made these for the first time...
My kids usually ask me to make a cake that looks like some kind of insect, animal, robot, or Star Wars related theme for their birthday. Whether it’s a chocolate brownie cake, ice cream cake, or something else, it’s going to be good! Being that I try to keep things simple and, to be honest,...
My mom used to make this Chocolate Pudding Cake for us when we were little. It’s one of those that carries fond memories with it. I think she made it most when we had unexpected visitors and she wanted to put something delicious together quickly. No need for icing on this cake. It is a...
Talk about amazing! I was looking for another way to make homemade chocolate chips. I’m not satisfied with my current recipe, because the butter or coconut oil separates from the chips too much for my liking. Instead, I accidentally made amazing homemade chocolate bars! This recipe, though, is so yummy that it will never last...
