Time to play party host!
After moving into my own place, one of the things I was most excited for was entertaining and having guests over for dinner. I don’t do much cooking on the weekend since I usually go out to dinner, but recently I thought it would be fun to cook dinner and invite a few friends over. […]
The easiest cookie recipe you’ll ever find…
Aside from watching just about every cooking competition on TV, I’ve also got a pretty lengthy list of shows that I watch religiously. During the summer, my DVR is no where near as full as it is during the fall/winter season, but there are still a few shows I can’t do without. One of which […]
Chocolate Cherry Muffins
Cherry season is the best time of year for sweet and tart foods! Cherries are so versatile and can be used in recipes for breakfast, dinner, and dessert. I love finding new ways to incorporate them into my meals. What are your favorite cherry-based dishes? My last visit to Publix was met with some gorgeous […]
Baby Shower Celebration
One of my good friends, Krissy, is having a baby girl! My friend Kristy and I have been excited about putting together her baby shower since the day we found out she was pregnant. Ideas about games, food, gifts, etc have been floating around our minds for months. So when the time came to finally […]
A Fudgy, Chocolate, Peanut Butter-filled dessert
I’m back! The past couple weeks have been quite the whirlwind. I finally moved out of my Bubby’s and got my own apartment! I’m just down the street and around the corner, so she hasn’t completely gotten rid of me yet, haha, but I am on my own! It’s been a rough start, and I’m […]
Oreo Cheesecake Truffles – No Baking Required!
When the weather is dark and gloomy, as it was all weekend long, there is no better way to lift the mood than by making a little something sweet! Now you know how much I love using my stand mixer, but today I was not feeling up to taking it out and I was definitely […]
Crispy Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies
As the baking frenzy continues, the next thing on my list was chocolate chip cookies. But not just any chocolate chip cookies, these were going to be food Network Magazine-style! The March issue was “The Chocolate Issue,” and let me tell you…they did not skimp on any recipes. There were 50 recipes for brownies alone, […]
Mini Cherry Pie
I’ve really been on a baking kick lately. My co-workers love it, but I think I need to start cooking real food again and not so many desserts! I just love my new mixer so much. Maybe I’ll try something ambitious like making bread or something more savory… but not before I share with you […]
Oreos + Chocolate Chip Cookies = Sinfully Delicious!
Oreo-filled desserts are pretty popular, especially on the Pinterest circuit. I’m constantly coming across pictures of cookies and brownies with Oreos as the main ingredient. Since I still had some leftover from the brownies I made a couple weekends ago, I decided to try another recipe. This time I turned to The Picky Palate’s chocolate […]
Baking with my new KitchenAid Stand Mixer!
After weeks of waiting for my KitchenAid 7-quart stand mixer (that I won at the food Blog Forum) to arrive, I was finally greeted by an enormous box from Fedex last Monday when I got home from work. I’m not kidding you when I say this box is literally half my size. It took me […]
