If you want to wow your guests on your next girls gathering, you must make these Rose Tea Cupcakes. The flavor has floral notes with the brightness of the lemon frosting. I was never a “rose” type of girl growing up. I was a tomboy so pink and floral prints were never my cup of tea. And even as I got older, anything that had a “rose” taste to it, it tasted like I was eating a bouquet of flowers,…
If your mouth waters just by thinking about the “HOT” sign being on this recipe is for you! The hardest part of this recipe is actually buying a dozen donuts and NOT eating them. BUT if you can refrain from eating them all and you have leftover donuts, THIS is the best recipe for them! This Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding is best with a couple of days old Krispy Kreme plain glazed donuts. Recently I was at a gathering and…
This Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins are the easiest muffins I have ever made. And not only it’s gluten free, it’s also nut free and could easily be dairy free. I am always looking for alternatives to flour. Although our family is not gluten free, we have lots of friends that have very strict dietary needs. But usually whenever a baked good is gluten free, most of the time it has almond flour or some other nut flour, and since…
This recipe came together in a spur of the moment as I looked in the fridge and used what I already had at the house. Ground beef, cabbage, shredded carrots and a can of diced tomatoes! Oh and did I mention it had to be done when we got home from the gym? And had to be kid friendly? Let me start by saying that for the longest time I did not own a Crockpot nor had any desire to…
This is my all-time most requested dessert to bring to any party, birthday or special event. And here’s why, this “cake” is more like a dense luxurious chocolate mousse. It’s delicate, yet rich. The best part is, because there are only 3 wholesome ingredients it fits almost every lifestyle. It’s gluten free, nut free and basically sugar free. So, what are those 3 ingredients? Semisweet chocolate, butter and eggs. The key to this cake is to use the highest quality…
What to do when you are craving a caramel latte but you do not have any caramel? You could go to the store and buy some, but most likely they will all have corn syrup as one of their ingredients. And in my quest to eat the least processed foods, corn syrup is definitely on the top of my NO NO list. But the best thing about this sauce is that it’s easy to make, it does not take that…
The smell of a cake in the oven brings me back to my childhood. My mom is an awesome baker and she is the one that has inspired me to cook and bake at an early age, thus developing my passion of baking. This orange cake recipe has been in our family for generations, and it was one of the first recipes I wrote down on my very first “cookbook”. It’s a very easy and simple recipe that you can…
Nothing is better than a warm cookie with a cold glass of milk! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Well, that’s exactly what my husband tells his gaming friends. But the cool thing is that through his tight knit gaming community, we have all become friends. I have met several of them, some even their wives and kids. So every once in a while I like to mail little treats to our friends. And this time it was…
There are a few classic pairings that you can’t go wrong with it. In our house, my husband’s all time favorite is chocolate peanut butter. So what could be better for Father’s Day than a decadent chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting?! And since my husband is always challenging me to step out of the comfort zone, I made peanut butter cream cheese frosting, because I love a good tangy cream cheese frosting! I finished the cake with a silky…
Let me start by saying that I have tried my share of banana breads, and I believe the perfect banana bread is not too wet or too dry, it’s perfectly tender. I personally like to add chocolate chips to it, you can either leave it plain or add your nut of choice. One of our best friends is obsessed with banana bread and this recipe is what he keeps asking for. We go through so many bananas a week at…
