When we were kids if we wanted a sweet treat we had to bake it. If you wanted cookies, cake or pie it was up to you to make it. By the time I was 12 or 13 I had several Betty Crocker recipes committed to memory. We VERY rarely used cake or brownie mixes….

Banana Pudding Chessman Dessert
Well, the Labor Day weekend is upon us. For some it is a three-day weekend for others, just another day at work. I hope whatever you do this weekend you find some time to have fun with your families, friends or enjoy some alone time. I have seen this dessert on Facebook, Pinterest and even…
National Root Beer Float Day – August 6th
Today is National Root Beer Float Day! My family happily agreed to be testers for the root beer floats. We stopped and bought ice cream and root beer. We stuck the root beer in the freezer for a few minutes so it would be good and cold. Are you going to celebrate with a Root…
Blueberry Angel Food Cake
Dessert for dinner. Yes, this is really what we ate for dinner. Our house air conditioner stopped working sometime yesterday and when we arrived home it was almost 80 degrees in the house. We turned the air down, checked the filters, turned it off and on and nothing. Ugh. So, it was too late to…
Old Fashioned Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
I remember my mother making this cake when I was a kid. She never put frosting on it (which was always my favorite part of the cake) because she said it was so rich anyways that it really didn’t need any. She would dust the top of the cake with a bit of powdered sugar but…
Chocolaty Eclair Cake
I made an Chocolate Eclair Cake (click for link to original recipe) a year and a half ago and the kids still mention it from time to time about how I need to make another one. I finally decided that I really wanted something chocolaty so I decided to try this cake again but using chocolate…
Chocolate Strawberry Trifle
This is a great dessert that is so easy and light for Spring and Summer. The sunsets lately have been so beautiful. You can feel the weather changing so quickly. I know we are looking forward to fresh fruits and vegetables. The great thing about this is you can use whatever berries that are in…
Buttery Coffee Cake
Looking for something to brighten up your weekday breakfasts or Sunday brunch? For the most post we are not big breakfast eaters. Once in a while we will do a big breakfast on the weekend but during the week my son is really the only person that eats breakfast. Usually it is cereal or oatmeal….
Country Crock – Make It Your Own, Mix-Ins Cookies
I received this product free from Influenster in exchange for my unbiased review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I remember Country Crock from when I was a kid. We had big giant brown tubs of it in the refrigerator and ate it on toast and bread every day. About 10 – 15 years…
Fairy Bites
It was a busy weekend for us. My son had Science Olympiad practice both Saturday and Sunday and my daughter had the Girl Scout International Bazaar to get ready for on Friday and the Bazaar on Saturday. One of the things the girls go is sell items, for under $1, that are representative of the…
Trisha Yearwood’s No Bake Pretzel Bars (plus a variation)
Well, we had our snow day yesterday. It was WONDERFUL! I love snow days just as much as the kids. I like having everyone home. The kids actually played a game or two together, willingly, and my son wanted to make a sweet treat. I was scouring pages of what he could possible make and…
Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies
If you haven’t visited my blog in a while you should! I am coming up on my 4 year anniversary of writing this blog (though I really don’t count the first year and a half). I decided it was time to shake things up a bit with a new design, larger font and hopefully easier…
