What’s not to love about truffles? They are cute, they travel in large groups and their middles are always a delicious surprise. I’ve been experimenting with different truffles over the last few months, and if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you know that we’ve tried a variety of them including cookies and cream, […]

Piña Colada Angel Food Cake
Angel Food Cake is a perfect summer dessert not only because it is light and fluffy but because it pairs beautifully with so many fruits. Pina Colada Angel Food cake is light, fruity, and certainly healthier than a lot of other dessert options. It is a fan favorite at my house, and since it is […]
Fudgy Garbage Brownies
Garbage Brownies may well be the most fudgy and irresistible combination of chocolates I’ve ever tasted. The rich frosting adds a layer of smooth creaminess over a chewy brownie that is loaded with chocolate chunks and pecans. I made these for the first time when we had family in town to celebrate my mother-in-law Sheila’s […]
Easy Marshmallow Quesadillas
Our Spring Break camping trip had me dusting off dessert recipes that are not only quick and easy but are not terribly fussy about cooking methods. They also need to be able to assemble without mixers, blenders or food processors. Yes, is a special collection of desserts. After our Near Year’s camping trip, I […]
Peanut Butter S’mores Dip

At his suggestion, I added peanut butter to a s’mores dip recipe that was glorious in its own right. He simply cannot resist the combination of melty […]
Happy Camper Cherry Cobbler
Happy Camper Cobbler is one of the easiest and tastiest dishes that I cook when we are camping. It has literally had people running from nearby campsites for a serving of its hot-from-the-oven bubbly and sweet goodness. Nobody expects a homemade dessert on a camping trip and whether you have a camper with an oven, […]
Peppermint Filled Brownie Bites
One of my most favorite candies ever is the York Peppermint Pattie. Really, how can you not love the rich chocolate flavor paired with a center filled with cool minty creaminess? I set out to make brownies that gave you that rich chocolate and creamy minty flavor in every bite. My first attempt was a […]
S’mores Brownie Bites with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting
I love s’mores. A lot. S’mores, however, are nearly impossible to serve and enjoy with any amount of dignity…. until now. These brownie bites are not only absolutely adorable but they are a perfect portion of decadence. One brownie bite will give you a “just enough” helping of that perfect combination of graham crackers, chocolate […]
