There are some recipes that you just grow up with. You know, those recipes that are scribbled on a wrinkled piece of paper covered in batter. I can’t tell you where this recipe originated. All I know is that my mom has made these brownies for as long as I can remember. They are my…

A Bunny Baby Shower
I recently helped throw a baby shower for my good friend Alyssa. She is decorating her nursery with bunnies and chose the color theme of green and brown for the shower. I made my favorite sugar cookies with royal icing and some chocolate cup cakes with bright green cream cheese frosting. Brown Sugar and Spice…
A Week of Marshmallow Treats: Oreo Marshmallow Treats
Do you know that kind of sneaky feeling you get when there is something delicious close by and you have already had your fair share of it, but you continue to slice off tiny pieces? Pretty soon all those tiny pieces that you have snitched add up to another whole piece or two. That’s me…
Reese's Puff’s Marshmallow Treats: A Week of Marshmallow Treats
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love Rice Krispie Treats! They are on my top 5 list of favorite foods (along with ice cream, cheesecake, sushi, and Philly cheese steak….oh, and gummy bears. I guess that make six, but I can’t decide which one to demote off my top 5…
Chocolate Cake with Malted Ganache and Toasted Marshmallow Frosting
Last Friday I attended a Chocolate and Chili Cook Off for a church activity. Every one brought either a chocolate dish, a chili dish, or one of each. It was so much fun tasting all the different delicious chocolate dishes. There were brownies, cookies, fudge, truffles, and many other items of deliciousness. The snickers fudge…

I knew I had to make this cake when I saw it on Pintrist. It is so easy. And I would much rather have pudding smothering my cake than frosting. And…
Nutter Butter Reindeer Pop’s
Last minute Christmas post for ya’ll. Don’t you just love how the little one with the pupils is rolling his eyes at his brothers. He is probably thinking that he is better than everyone else because he has pupils and they don’t. Little does he know, in the end everyone’s just sticks. Ingredients: 1 package…
Mint Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats
This is a great little Rice Krispie Treat recipe that I made up. It turned out delicious. After my first success, I got so excited about putting my own little spin of one of my favorite treats that I decided to try another Rice Krispie Treat original creation. It was a disaster! Word to the…
White Chocolate Caramel Apples with Cinnamon Sugar
Today was a good day. In my religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), there is a bi-annual worldwide conference broad cast. In April and October, everyone in my church watches talks and messages from the church leaders. There are two 2-hour sessions on both Saturday and Sunday and instead of going…
Best Chocolate Chip Cookie’s Ever (after my brother’s recipe)
When I was growing up, my little brother was always the cookie maker in the house. Whenever someone wanted chocolate chip cookies, we would call Riley. It was just kind of his thing, whether he wanted it or not. He just made really good chocolate chip cookies. They were really good, but the other day…
