Cinnamon Toast Crunch Pear Cheesecake Bars
I was feeling creative the other day. When I saw a box of cinnamon toast crunch on sale at the store, I thought “that cereal would be yummy crushed and used as a crust.” So I bought them and started experimenting. The cinnamon toast crunch crust turned out great! And the flavor of the pears…
Apple Crumb Pie
I like pie, but I don’t really like traditional pie crust. It is too heavy for me. I found this recipe for apple pie with an almond crumb crust. It is much lighter and it tastes delicious and crumbly. I made it for my family and my grandparents and they all loved it. My little…

Zwetschgendatschi ( German Plum Cake)
I found plums for 28 cents a pound. That is a good deal right? I thought it was! I spent two or three dollars and got tons of plums. I cut them up and bagged them in the freezer. Plum season is from May through October. In some places it ends around the first of…
Golden Graham S’mores
I made this for my sister in-law Lydia when we stayed at her house in Moscow for a few days. This is a very addictive treat! It is so unhealthy, but SOOOOOOOO GOOD. They are chewy and chocolaty, and gooey. To make it even worse for you, I decide to add mini butterscotch chips to…
