Celebrate Pi(e) Day: No Bake Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

Tomorrow is March 14th, or 3.14. For you math aficionados out there, that’s Pi day. But since this is a food blog, that’s Pie day. 🙂 I’m not much of a pie baker; I usually stick to cupcakes, cookies, and cakes. But recently, I did make a pie for Tim’s Valentine’s Day dinner. I know, […]

Holy Crap These Are Amazing Cookies – No Bake

No, really.  That’s the name of these cookies – HolyCrapTheseAreAmazing Cookies.  Well, I think actually the original name was Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies.  But truly, holy crap, they are amazing.  And easy!  You don’t even have to bake them! It might be kind of late to be making Christmas cookies.  Some of you have had […]

Chocolate Pecan Bars

These.  Are.  Delicious.  Sinfully delicious.  And rich.  And decadent.  I first made these at Thanksgiving with my Mother in Law, but I didn’t have my camera so I didn’t blog it then.  They were so good though – Tim’s sister even said it was the best thing she ever ate – that I knew I’d […]

Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

I have been making my own hot chocolate mix for about four years now. Originally, I just thought it would be fun to make it for us to have on cold winter nights, so put it in a huge canister and we enjoy it all winter long. But after a couple of years of making […]

100th Post: Kitchen Remodel and Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Pretzels

I can’t believe I’ve posted 99 recipes on this blog already!  I mean, I guess it has been almost a year, but that’s a lot of posts.  That’s kind of exciting!  It’s very timely that coinciding with my 100th blog post is the completion of our kitchen remodel.  Well, okay, it’s been completed for over […]

Sinfully Delicious But Actually Kinda Light Chocolate Peanut Butter Trifle

If you need a dessert for Thanksgiving and someone else already has dibs on pumpkin pie, give this a try!  It’ll look beautiful on the family table…for about 30 seconds until everyone devours it.

A Peanut Butter Treat to Beat the Heat

Since it’s been like a million degrees lately, I’m sure you really don’t want to turn on your oven.  Never fear, we can get our peanut butter fix without heating up the house.  These little peanut butter squares taste an awful lot like Reese’s and are quite addictive (consider yourself forewarned).  They’re really easy too, […]

Peanut Butter Pretzel M & M Cookies

Hi, my name is Cara, and I am addicted to peanut butter.  I’m not ashamed of it.  I own it.  If you leave it to me, all baked goods will have peanut butter in them.  And chocolate.  And sometimes banana. So anyway, cookies.  These are a really delicious balance of sweet and salty, with the […]

Brownie Bites again – with Mint Icing!

Remember when I made the low fat brownie bites with strawberries for Valentine’s Day?  I’ve actually made that brownie recipe many times – with peanut butter, with chocolate chips, with nuts…  It’s my favorite go-to, easy, chocolate but not terrible for you sweet.  For St. Patrick’s Day, I made them with mint icing, obviously because […]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Here I go again with the peanut butter and chocolate.  Recently, a friend pinned this recipe with a subtle suggestion that I should make these cupcakes, and I was pretty easily convinced.  They just looked so good, and you know how I am with peanut butter and chocolate.  The only thing was I wanted there […]
