Tres Leches Cake
So you all probably saw my last post announcing the coming of a little one into my family this February. I am super excited and happy, but the fatigue and food aversions have really taken a toll on my blog. I just haven’t been in the kitchen as much lately. Not to mention I did…
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…
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…
Cookies and Cream Pudding Poke Cake

Chocolate Graham Cracker Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow
Can you buy someone’s love and approval with cup cakes? Probably not, but maybe it helps? Maybe? We are desperately trying to get someone to fill our apartment before we move and someone is finally coming to look at it tomorrow morning. We are running out of time and we really need someone to fill…
Christmas Red Velvet Whoopee Pies
Have you ever had “one of those days?” A day where nothing seems to be going right? A day where everything ends up being so much harder than in should be or needs to be? Well that was how my day was when I made these really easy cookies. The recipe for these cookies…
Super Easy Pumpkin Cookies
I am student teaching right now and I have the best cooperating teachers! In speech class we are doing sales speeches right now and one girl presented her Kitchen Aid and brought the class pumpkin cookies that she had made in it. My cooperating teacher saved the recipe for me and I went home and…
